Tragic racial disparities impact survival from cardiac arrest.

Important & beautifully written opinion piece from one our #emergencymedicine residents lays it out clearly:

Heat is on to 90 degrees. Every door automatically opens from 10 ft away. The wall paper smells like soap. The front desk called me “Honey”. And there’s a Lipitor clock on the wall…Tell me you’re in Geriatrics clinic without telling me. 🤪🙂

@BenjaminAbella doesn’t just hold keys to career doors. He shows us how to open the doors ourselves, pushes us through them, calls from the other side to see where it took us, and then thanks us for allowing him to be a part of our journey. Congratulations!!

Our new research paper just hit the PubMeds!

Pre-arrest chest pain is strongly associated with the need for PCI after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Take a read 🤓😃

[Benjamin Abella, MD MPhil @BenjaminAbella]

Hot off the press: new paper suggests pre-arrest chest pain is strongly associated with need for post-arrest coronary intervention.

EMS & EM friends: are we asking family "did they have chest pain before they collapsed?"
