A recent scoping review of the EMS workforce found continued underrepresentation of women and nonwhite personnel in the EMS workforce. Without a diverse and representative workforce, patient outcomes suffer. Read the article here: https://t.co/HvkDFpIVwE #NWHW

@DGlaucomflecken Ok and saying that took me on a dive through the archives. I remember specifically when I was reading this particular thread. It was exactly what I needed to cut through the fear and angst we were feeling in those early days 🙌

[Kilometers Morales, RN @MurseWordsworth]

UCSF/ZSFG Emergency Medicine residents have organized a program to allow patients to vote while in the ER, even those on 5150/5250 holds. The program gets the ballot to the pt's bedside, assists them in completing it (if needed) & an on-site secure ballotbox was procured

Amazing

[California ACEP @californiaacep]

Medical organizations, including @ACEPNow @AmerMedicalAssn @APApsychiatric @ENAorg, sent a letter to @POTUS warning that ER boarding is at a "crisis point" and driving an “exodus of excellent physicians, nurses and other health care professionals.” https://t.co/quv8j9kZNZ

[CDC Flu @CDCFlu]

Every year millions of kids miss out on what they love the most because they get #influenza. But not Dora. She'll keep soaring because a flu vaccine gave her extra protection to #FightFlu.

[CDC Flu @CDCFlu]

Today, CDC #FluView reports 19 states have “high” or “very high” levels of influenza-like illness. Laboratory data indicate this is caused by co-circulation of respiratory viruses, including rising levels of flu. Read the full report here: https://t.co/upgRKTHXEi

[Emergency Physicians @EmergencyDocs]

This morning, we sounded the alarm on the patient boarding crisis that has brought ERs across our country to a breaking point. In our joint letter to @POTUS, we shared real-life stories showing the threat to our health care safety net. [1/4]

"Cumulative influenza-associated hospitalization rates for children (age 0–4 years and 5–17 years) and all ages combined are notably higher compared to the same time periods during previous seasons since 2010–2011." CDC. https://t.co/ZVm0PfpTLH

The flu is super duper bad this year. I'm seeing sicker patients with **weird** non-flu type of symptoms (altered mental status, significant hypotension, profound diarrhea). There's still time to get your flu shot!

Is anyone else in medicine triggered by Taylor Swift's new tour name? Just me? 😆😂 The #ERAStour 🎶

I think GBBO should go for the the North American trifecta this season. They need to make a poutine so offensively bad Canada withdraws from the commonwealth.

Rosen’s new text release! Glad to be a part of a great team

When NAEMSP member and EMS Fellow Brooke Lerner, PhD was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer, she expressed the desire to establish a research fund for early career researchers. Learn more about the E. Brooke Lerner Research Fund and donate today: https://t.co/Y1Ly7Kj6CP

Florida just announced the results of an analysis that they performed, saying the results show "an increased risk of cardiac-related death among men 18-39" for the mRNA vaccines, and recommend this group not receive these vaccines.

Is this justified? Let's look at the data...

@1goodtern Do you have a source? Never heard this

[California ACEP @californiaacep]

TY to our Councillors, alternates, & past leaders of the College who made #acepcouncil a success! Because of their hard work, we passed 4 sponsored/co-sponsored resolutions to strengthen the College's stance on #reproductiverights. Proud of the work we did last week! #ACEP22
