I work as an attending emergency physician, as well as a flight physician and medical communications lead for STARS in Calgary.

@mjslabbert is it inappropriate to also assume he does a CAT scan too?

[Ryan Deedo @FlightDocRyan]

@broomedocs CIN defined as creat increase of 25% in 2-6 days. Is that clinically significant if it returns to normal after this?

[Ryan Deedo @FlightDocRyan]

@LavergneNatalie I assume you mean as soon as they find out they are pregnant. Do they move to ground EMS or do they do other duties?

[Ryan Deedo @FlightDocRyan]

@ketaminh my friend's service has their first pregnant flight medic and they are curious what other HEMS do for both patient and crew safety

[Ryan Deedo @FlightDocRyan]

HEMS colleagues, I was asked by a friend about my service's policy for pregnant air medical crew. Can anyone else share theirs if allowed?

@cherylcookie21 @ketaminh @UpshawCrystal @STARSambulance @medicjon47 @Mazzo17 @peimedic2 @JasonTrask111 all the STARS aircraft have blood.

[Ryan Deedo @FlightDocRyan]

@FLTDOC1 don't they also get extra for transporting live animals?

[Ryan Deedo @FlightDocRyan]

@DorsetTraumaDoc @FLTDOC1 @dsairambulance @DCHFT @leonardo_live @Leonardo_IT do you have a photo of the patient care space?

[Ryan Deedo @FlightDocRyan]

@FLTDOC1 if you just read the title you'd agree but the article itself is clearly motivated by other factors then helping patients.

@ChrisCarrollMD @DrHedrick I ask "are you family or friend?" No one been upset with that phrasing yet.

@HumanFact0rz @georgemastoras Hicks if I hadn't got a registration spot I would have sent you a stool sample instead. #DasSMACC

@mjslabbert @ali1m @doctorwibble I teach ATLS as it's useful for new trainees and occasional providers in rural areas. Not for experts.

[Ryan Deedo @FlightDocRyan]

@ashleyliebig @ChrisCarrollMD it'll be great!

[Ryan Deedo @FlightDocRyan]

@FLTDOC1 I go with "are you family of friend?" No one gets upset with those two options.

[Ryan Deedo @FlightDocRyan]

@HawkmoonHEMS I thought they looked more like Daleks

[Ryan Deedo @FlightDocRyan]

@FLTDOC1 I agree. You in the US need to work on the airline deregulation law nonsense.

[Ryan Deedo @FlightDocRyan]

@FLTDOC1 @willtube4food Also if you had less redundant coverage with HEMS this numbers issue wouldn't be relevant as they would exceed it.
