Watching the canucks/oilers game.
My kid: “there’s a Nurse (#25) on the ice. Where’s the doctor?”
Me: “must be in the PWHL”@thepwhlofficial
A bit of googling and I found Dr.@wick_22.
Y’all. What a badass! AND she’s finishing up her EM training!

A lot of people don’t know that the first EMS service in the country was started by Black Pittsburghers, when local police and fire refused to serve them.
On the last day of Black History Month, I spoke on the House Floor to honor their contributions to medicine.
We are well past the time when EtCO2 should be added to the National EMS Scope of Practice for BLS providers.
While we’re at it…let’s also add supraglottic airways, IM benzodiazepines for seizures, & a host of other lifesaving interventions. #NAEMSP2024 @hashimzMD
@HaamidtheMD and @Pretty_Ricqui giving us the tools to interrupt bias and and be true upstanders at #NAEMSP. Let's get comfortable about the uncomfortable! I always learn so much from these amazing leaders!
Fantastic keynote address by Chief John Moon talking about the legacy that was left by Freedom House Ambulance to establish this #EMS subspecialty. We’ll never know the true impact of their hard work, dedication, & sacrifice. #NAEMSP2024
Very cool to hear from Chief Moon from Freedom House Ambulance Service. If you liked the tv show Emergency! it was actually based off Freedom House. #NAEMSP
There are two highly anticipated movies being released this week. One of them is about a controversial public figure and how they reflect the enduring cognitive dissonance between our stated values as a society and the reality of our myriad systemic hypocrisies.

@DrJenGunter I did the math based on the surface area of an average human body, but it doesn’t take much loss of structural integrity to implode under the equivalent weight of 12 fully loaded cement trucks.
And I may have mathed wrong- it could actually be 24 cement trucks.
Countless men have directly benefited from abortion. Few say so. My partner chose to get an abortion when I was a young man. I supported her in making that decision and I benefited from that choice. Other men who are willing to share how they benefited from abortion, please do.

It's Pride Month, and we recently made @TimHongMD's #NAEMSP2023 session, which focuses on caring for LGBTQ patients and highlights major research gaps for LGBTQ+ representation in the EMS workforce, available for free via @ProdigyEMS. Watch it now: https://t.co/97egHmEvGX
