@AlexChaitoff Per your reference it says 500 PMN has specificity of 98 and has a lower sensitivity… if your goal is to be more sensitive (as a rule as you’re arguing) you’d have a lower number

@AnilMakam @BradSpellberg Does strep need antibiotics at all? For efficacy outcome, did the studies include corticosteroids? https://t.co/B7BvmAnGFV nice review by @EMSwami here https://t.co/oYvqGTxZrJ

Troponins should not be routinely sent in patients presenting with SVT. Rarely, they may be necessary if the patient has concerning ischemic symptoms that persist after conversion to sinus rhythm. https://t.co/AmcVFCHo1I #svt #emergencymedicine

SKUNK ON THE FIELD

[Robby Allen @AllenEmerg]

@Srivatsa34 @reverendofdoubt Theoretically people with chronic PAH can also have acute events (acute PE) I would imagine that in such cases this diagram may be falsely reassuring that there is not an acute process going on unless they have a highly specific finding (RV thrombus).

[Robby Allen @AllenEmerg]

@EddCarlton Pt with minimal symptoms presenting with stroke which has inherent higher bleeding risk no issue giving thrombolysis. Pt hemodynamically unstable with minimal bleed risk and we “debate” about thrombolytics?

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

Do I have this right?

- ABIM requires yearly fees from physicians who are already cert to “maintain certification”
- no evidence that MOC helps pt care
- ABIM will report you as “not certified” if you don’t pay
- hospitals require certification

Idk kinda sounds like extortion
