If this bill were to pass, we must acknowledge that EM physicians will likely be the primary providers for an increase in septic abortions, uterine hemorrhage, accidental toxicological overdose, and, on the other side, precipitous deliveries in the ED with neonatal resuscitation.
This is the unvaccinated President of Indiana ACEP 🤯 What an embarrassment to our specialty!! Asking for a refund of my state dues…so disappointing @IN_ACEP @ACEPNow
It was a great day @FSSAIndiana but I’ve taught a medical student the hair apposition technique AND reduced a nursemaid’s elbow already so the ER is winning this competition so far. Plus @HollyIrwinMD ! #MedTwitter
#IUSMEMScholarsDay: PGY5 EM/Peds Dr. Holly Irwin: Physical Child Abuse: The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic. During the peak of pandemic lockdown, total volume of ED visits for suspected child abuse were decreased, but notable increase in injury severity & rates of admission.
The CDC update may have been confusing, so here's some clarity. If you're vaccinated, you're relatively safe & can resume normal activities w/ no masks. If you aren't vaccinated, this don't apply to you. Also, maybe get vaccinated.

Tonight, Leslie texted - she was at work, but saw a request come in that she said was emergent. Unable to take a call, I suggested she reach out to Holly. Holly and Samantha jumped on the case, and reached out to staff at University Hospital.
@SoarAnimal provided foster for this mother-daughter chihuahua duo while dad underwent chemo & radiation for metastatic lung cancer - now he’s doing quite well and feeling capable of caring for them again. Welcome home, Tutu & Gigi! #KeepThemTogether#HumanAnimalBond#OneHealth
6 people got blood clots as a result of the J&J vaccine. 8 people were killed in this week's mass shooting. Maybe we're restricting the wrong thing.
Please folks:
- wear a seatbelt while in a car
- wear a helmet on a motorcycle/ATV
- put down your guns
- don't drink and drive
