"Corporate medicine has milked just about all the “efficiency” it can out of the system. But one resource that seems endless—and free—is the professional ethic of medical staff members.” My @nytimes op-ed about the daily exploitation of doctors & nurses https://t.co/VG7dVmae1y

Do you still push D50 for severe hypoglycemia? That's SOOO 2014. The evidence is there to use D10. Many EMS systems seem to have adopted this.

✅ Same time to glucose correction
✅ No hypertonic toxicity risk
✅ Less overshooting of glycemic target

Ketamine is the answer I don't care what the question is. Agitation = Ketamine, Sedation = Ketamine, RSI = Ketamine, Depression = Ketamine, Asthma = Ketamine, Pain = Ketamine, Local and General anti-inflammatory effects = Ketamine, Bored on Friday = Ketamine. Just saying. #EMRAP

We fear saying it but it's an integral piece of medical training, scientific discovery + patient care
Embracing this concept allows us to build a flexible mindset + resilience

TB #smacc Great talk about #TXA from #srrezaie from https://t.co/PFuo3qY6G7.
Take home messages:

Epistaxis under dual anti-platelet therapy; 500mg TXA in a soaked pledget, 5 min in each nostril, apply gentle compression

you can easily nebulize TXA for hemoptysis.

Saw a homeless man in the ED. Did my exam, which included checking his feet. I was putting his socks back on and he says, “I can’t believe you’re an MD and you’re willing to put my socks back on me.” That one hit deep. Let’s never forget why we do this work. #medtwitter

Before I intubate someone emergently, even if they are obtunded, I speak to them - letting them know we will do everything we can to help them. I choose my words carefully because sometimes our everything isn’t enough and the words I give them will be the last they carry.

MacGyver access tip from @EMSwami— if you can only get a small peripheral but need larger access, put a tourniquet above the IV you do have and infuse 50 cc of saline. This will distend the vasculature and hidden veins will emerge from the depths! #EEM2018 #MacGyver
