I once knew an ER doc who worked 28 shifts one month so he could take like 2 months off to, I kid you not, use a real life falcon to spear hunt wild boar in medieval garb, and self-translate a piece of some ancient tablet/text he somehow acquired.

Correct diagnosis = passing #StritchMHD final?? I like to think yes

[Janet Pope @Janetbirdope]

#ClinicalPearl Pt with a sore throat then abdominal pain, microscopic hematuria and this finding. What is it and why? no hints as this is classic.

SVC Syndrome for my #StritchMHD classmates! (feat. a heme/onc throwback)

Picture this:

A patient is found unconscious at home, and you find this 👇 on your evaluation.

Why (and how) is this an emergency? 🤔

[Kilometers Morales, RN @MurseWordsworth]

UCSF/ZSFG Emergency Medicine residents have organized a program to allow patients to vote while in the ER, even those on 5150/5250 holds. The program gets the ballot to the pt's bedside, assists them in completing it (if needed) & an on-site secure ballotbox was procured

Amazing

Thank you to all of students, residents, and attendings who joined our fall journal club! We had a great time socializing and discussing EM research and can't wait until our next journal club in the spring!

[Caitlin Ruane @CaitlinRuane]

@BrownHospMed Another case for my classmates to check out! 🍓 #StritchMHD

[Sam Ghali, M.D. @EM_RESUS]

Nurses often say they have a gut feeling “the patient is going to crash”

THIS is why you should listen
