@iWomansplainer My oldest did this. We literally called it “the grunt shift.” Never figured it out; he just stopped one day.

@JBsTwoCents I’ve been in awe of your strength, candor, and advocacy for a lot of months now. Wishing you and your family so much good luck and health in this next phase of your journey.

[Josh Trebach, MD @jtrebach]

it is getting HOT out there folks so please remember that doing cocaine in this weather is not a great idea

the figure below is from a 1998 paper where they saw that higher temperatures outside were associated with an increase in deaths from cocaine overdoses

It’s really hot out. We’re starting to see some hyperthermia/heat stroke cases, so here’s a reminder from your friendly neighborhood toxicologist:
🔥Get a *core* temperature
🔥Dunk your patients in ice water
🔥Cool as quickly as possible to avoid rhabdo, renal failure, and DIC

Tweeting about @jtrebach’s super interesting Grand Rounds on tox education through **social media**

Getting pretty meta over here 🤯

[Andrew Stolbach, MD, MPH @toxicologist12]

Case report you'll never see in print:

I decided not to give an experimental antidote and the patient got better anyway.

On a lighter note, happy birthday and good luck to @MarkKSuMD1! Eat some cake after you finish!

Are you an NYC doc on shift in the ED today? It’s much warmer #NYCMARATHON weather than usual. Remember to check your runner patients for hyperthermia (core temps!) and cool in an ice water bath.

[Mark K Su, MD, MPH @MarkKSuMD1]

Do you know that salicylate toxicity can present with a normal anion gap and pseudohyperchloremia? Well it does. Here’s Dr Jonathan De Olano from @EmoryEM at #nycpcc grand rounds discussing chloride abnormalities.
