The new norm

[nick pulmcrit @pulmtoilet]

I’ll save you the reading time :

Hypotensive:: too unstable for scope
Not hypotensive: outpatient scope

“Establish peripheral access, transfuse pRBCs, don’t call after 9pm”

Wow - this is a huge huge loss to UK medicine.

Dr Wong and family choosing to go to Singapore

20 years of expertise gone just like that.

We are losing 15-20k Doctors each year. Tell me how many PAs or even fresh doctors it would take to cover up the gap being left behind by Dr Wong?

A #fish at an open air market is given such a shallow bit of water that they cannot even swim upright. This is how little we think about the welfare of animals raised for food. 💔

🧵regarding some of the more novel *non-urologic* uses of Foley catheters.

It's been almost 2 years since I originally posted this, so many may not have seen this one (and I'll be doing reruns for a while...I need to spend April getting ready for #ASGBI2024 🧐.

Which vessel? --> pulmonary artery! This was a massive PE. Tough case, but 2 takehome pearls: (1) PE can produce STE, esp. V1, aVR, and III (right side leads), and (2) it is very uncommon for STEMIs/OMIs to produce new right axis; STE + new RAD=PE until proven otherwise #FOAMed

"Do you want us to do everything?"

This is the most stupid and meaningless question I can ever imagine in medicine.

@Dermin_ One interesting thing about being an EM doc is constantly encountering how bad outpatient docs are at running an Emergency Department 😂

[Milad Sharifpour, MD @MSharifpourMD]

Hi, I’m an ICU doctor. I don’t know much about rashes but I’m sure I know more about rashes than you do about ventilators!

When someone asks you a question, either be kind, or just don’t say anything

[Josh Farkas MD 💊 @PulmCrit]

PE risk stratification is all about hemodynamics, clot size doesn’t matte

WOW: An annoying human harasses a #crab, only to have a different crab put themselves at risk to stick up for their friend. Animals are amazing. 🧡

[Dr. Faraz Harsini @DrFarazHarsini]

I think this is my home country #Iran. Male babies are useless for #egg production and are transported to be buried alive. In this case the truck got into an accident.

Here in the US we grind them up alive.

In egg farms, small or large, male babies are useless and killed. Ladies are killed too the second they're not profitable.

Caged or cage-free.

This is not how a civilized society should treat animals of other species. This is not how food should be prepared.

This is not food. This is violence.

We don't hear about it because it's hidden from us. I grew up eating meat, egg, and dairy and paying for animal abuse unknowingly.

Animals are not objects. We can't farm them. We shouldn't exploit them.

Do you need me to tell you animal abuse is wrong? You know that already!

Being vegan simply means we don't pay for animal abuse and we stop demanding products of torture and murder.

If your beloved pet was in their place how urgently would you take action to save them?

Please go #vegan that urgently.

This #crab eating a cherry might just change your mind about eating these little creatures. 🦀🍒❤️

Torturing a bull isn't a cultural tradition. It's torture. #BanBullfighting
