In this 280th episode I share the shocking and tragic news that Dr. Gillian Isaac died suddenly and unexpectedly a few weeks ago. She was an incredible human being, teacher, doctor, wife and mother. She will be missed more than I can say by more people than we can possibly count. I know that she would want us to continue with these keyword episodes that she loved doing and so I am going to try. I know they will never be the same, but they will be dedicated to her memory. Today I address the keyword of shock states and discuss the 4 types of shock and how they may be covered on your exams. I miss you, Gillian.

Correction:
When talking about Addison’s disease, we say ACTH activates melatonin release. It is actually CRH that stimulates both the release of ACTH and MSH (melanocyte stimulating hormone) which both cause the stimulation of melanocytes. These cells create melanin, not melatonin, which is responsible for the darkening of the skin.
