Anyone who thinks their “right” to walk in public without a mask is more important than a “few” people losing their lives to #COVID, has never stood by a dying patient’s bedside while holding an iPad so their family can say goodbye.

I promise, it will haunt you.

Hey @RyanMarino - guess what I did today?

DISSPELLED A TON OF FENTANYL/CARFENTANYL FALLACIES TO A BUNCH OF EMS FOLKS! “But, in TN that officer w/ it on his shirt that OD’d!”

The misinformation is absolutely rampant. The media spins it endlessly.

Dear consultant:

I dont want to wake you up at night unless I have to. I do want to know what the plan is for our patient. If we discuss that plan before you go back to sleep, I’ll likely not call you again. Also, I’m nice to you, please me nice to me.

Love,
Intern’s 1st night

Great read from @JAMA_current. As an emerging EM physician with tattoos, this is a great perspective on humanism in medicine. Check it out.

Great last “day” of medical school in the ICU! Finishing medical school out next week on night float. What a great way to finish four years. 🏥

“Prototyping helps us create. It doesn’t have to be fancy or high-fidelity.” @kristyshines @JeffInnovation

With just a little bit of imagination @BonKu is obviously the wicked witch of the West- I always had a feeling 🧙🏽‍♀️

Amazing talk from @painfreeED Dr. Sergey Motov at #DVAAEM19 “keep opioid patients opioid naive.” Thanks @TempleEM @TempleUniv for iviting this great speaker.

Wiggled out of the #ICU to join the awesome #EM minds of the Delaware Valley

[Brett Cowan @BrettCowan]

At the #DVAAEM conference at @TempleUniv listening the Dr. Rachel Haroz of @CooperEMed talk to us about the OPPORTUNITY to help patients in this current opioid epidemic. “Opioid use isn’t alcohol, isn’t benzo’s, why treat them the same.” @coopermedschool @TempleEM @HarozR

Some #MatchDay data I forgot to post-

12:00: Opened letter & matched to top choice @HackensackEM - 142bpm

12:08: Crying after finding out my BFF @BrettCowan is heading back home to Cali for #EMdoc training close to his 3 kids - 115bpm

What a crazy day.

$300,000 in #Medschool debt & I can't get a Tuition & Fees Deduction to offset the cost of moving to residency (don't even get me started on the lack of increased res spots from Congress) - Congress step it up. Help us help others @realDonaldTrump @AOC @CoryBooker @SenSanders

**ADVICE NEEDED**

Which blocks most beneficial earlier on in #EM intern year? Schedules just came out to rank!

Seasonal trauma? Trauma earlier for airway competency? Peds winter v summer? Vacay in cold months? MICU later when I’m smarter?

All ideas welcomed! #EMchat

[Brett Cowan @BrettCowan]

@TravisABenson That’s a great point. I also plan to do further research on how the race/gender/age of the physician effects the results. Currently I only looked at how’s those factors vary with the participants in the survey. I’ll keep you posted as to the status of the publication.
