No Extra Clicks.

That was the challenge I gave my team when we started building ScanSafe™.

Scan the vial. Verification happens instantly. Right inside the workflow. No extra steps.

@MedicalSphereAI Claude Sonnet for the win!

Great case yesterday. Pediatric patient with 9/10 chest pain/pressure and palpitations. BP wnl. Sats normal. No syncope. Otherwise healthy. No PMH or FHx relevant.

Will post outcome in a bit. I want to hear your thoughts.

With the long QT and WCT we avoided adenosine and Amio. Gave Magnesium over 20 minutes and the QRS narrowed and her symptoms resolved, but still tachy >200.

In the ED they hemmed and hawed for 20 min and finally decided to give adenosine.

Final dx SVT with aberrancy.

@PulmCrit @akatzzzzz The PITSTOP RCT is pending by @DrCheskes and his group from Toronto. Should solve this debate. Septic shock - anywhere - needs fluids, pressors, and antibiotics, irrespective of location. Nothing magical happens in the hospital.

@Aidan_Baron @joshkimbre @FOAMfrat 100% agree that LTOWB and Components are equivalent. Some people are conflating two points and using this study to challenge the use of pre-hospital blood.

97% correct pediatric medication dosing. Across an entire multi-agency EMS system. Sustained. Peer-reviewed. The highest ever published.

New blog post on what Rochester did and why it matters. 👇

Grateful to @mklevy10 for calling attention to a major patient safety gap at the @NAEMSP annual meeting. Medication scanning matters, especially in high-risk EMS and hospital environments. We’re focused on solving this in Handtevy Mobile. #NAEMSP2026

Six years later, that first hospitalization still defines our memory.

"𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘛𝘺𝘱𝘦 1 𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘴"

But what followed wasn’t just learning insulin and finger sticks.

It was being offered 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡-𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐛 𝐬𝐧𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬 that led to huge blood sugar swings, and several scary moments he’s never forgotten.

That's what stuck.

Six years later, Noah continues to make sure that newly diagnosed children have Low Carb options during their initial hospitalization.

Through his club at club at @AHSBroward, he delivers Diabetic Snack Boxes to @JDCHospital, right when families need them most.

The letter he places on each box still makes my eyes well up.

Next shipment ready. 💙

A new NEJM trial is being interpreted by many as showing that ketamine causes increased cardiovascular collapse relative to etomidate during ETI.

I don't agree.

What it really shows is what happens when critically ill patients are paralyzed before they’re adequately resuscitated.

This weekend, I had that privilege.

Alan and his family invited me for a doubles match, on the same court where two bystanders, my crew from Palm Beach County Fire Rescue Station 49, and EMS Captain Darwin Zelaya, fought to bring him back.

They delivered 2 AED shocks, 1 standard shock, six rounds of Dual Sequential External Defibrillation, as well as amiodarone and esmolol, achieving ROSC before arrival at Delray Medical Center.

Alan also recorded a quick PSA for clinicians who still question whether #DSED works.

Walking off that court, I couldn’t help but feel grateful. Grateful for the bystanders, the crew, the science, and for the chance to see a life fully reclaimed.

That’s the power of EMS.

@DrSamanthaF @AHAScience With all due respect to Charles, this one’s not even close. The AHA and ERC missed big here.

@DrCheskes NEJM RCT showed a doubling of survival…..of people who would have otherwise died.

This recommendation needs to change.
