I often forget that as a #healthcare provider #CPR is just a part of the job to me and seeing it isn’t traumatic...we’re unique and for everyone else, it is horrifying for laypersons to see it actually occur
Highlight of the week! A BIG THANK YOU to the 3rd grade class of Norton Elementary School and Ms. Faenza for decorating these beautiful pillowcases for the children here at UF Shands Hospital. We are certain they will deliver tons of smiles and comfort for all! #GoNortonKnights

Surgical cricothyroidotomies is a life saving procedure that is done during a "can't ventilate, can't oxygenate" scenario. Practice of this procedure is absolutely vital in the emergency care of children. Check out @JCGonzalezDO working on perfecting this skill at @PEMBASECamp
Today our fellows have been focusing on running multiple simulations and practicing new intubation techniques! Check out @JOONSCHOI1 and @JCGonzalezDO knock out those intubations! #Basecamp2022#Simulation#GoGators#PEM
Nurses are the backbone of our department, and we simply have the best. Congrats to RN Chelsey, who was awarded a DAISY Award for the compassionate care she delivers consistently in our ED.
Don't hold your breath! Pediatric airways can be intimidating, but less so thanks to @TriciaSwanMD and @cristinazeretz1 of @pem_uf - teaching difficult airway techniques at the @FCEP PEM committee session. #symposiumbythesea

Tomorrow, @HouseGOP will embark on an extensive effort to gut the federal Higher Education Act in the Ed & Workforce Committee. I plan to introduce an amendment to #HEA that would restore the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program that aids firefighters, police, and teachers.
The PROSPER Act would end the PSLF Program (repaying student loans through working in public service) and limit the loans med students can borrow each year to $28,500 (my current cost of attendance is $75k/year). We need to #SavePSLF & #SaveGradPLUS! @FrankPallone help us out! https://t.co/j93CyzhHdz
