ER doc. Occasional single cover noctournist, hence inappropriate swagger. The opinions expressed are mostly retweets from smarter people.

@Gabby_Brauner27 Not enough to stop us from quitting in droves.

@haefer1 @BuffaloBills @SkedderRules @trusswurm20 This didn’t age well.

Docs immediately steal some tetracaine when they suffer a corneal abrasion because it is 1000x better for pain than alternatives and safe when used for a day, which is all you need. How many studies required to extend this courtesy to our patients?

My favorite part of this pandemic is people who live in population density of 25,000 per square mile scolding people who live in a population density of 25 per square mile

@Shrik_ER Wait? They didn’t exclude the people who got sicker as “loss to follow up”? I fear we’ve learned nothing from our French counterparts...

With all due respect, why/how are celebrities getting tested when asymptomatic? In the hospital we are currently applying to the state for approval to test, & it takes time for approval. ONLY patients that meet strict criteria (e.g. symptoms) can get tested.

[Ryan McDermott @McDMD85]

@DogICUma @BalmMichelle Why test if we’re at that point? If you’ve abandoned public health measures, it’s usual care for “viral syndrome”.

Can we just admit that norepi is always the answer and stop torturing students/residents?

The looks on IM residents faces when I say this...

My favorite use of the prescription drug monitoring database is, while caring for a patient after overdose, calling the patient's controlled substance prescribers. I'm having some uncomfortable conversations that I hope will lead to some uncomfortable conversations.

[Ryan McDermott @McDMD85]

Sensible- but kind of a dopey mandate for people dealing with OOHCA. Cant recall the last time EMS reported pt complained of hyperK just prior to arrest. (Please don’t @ me EKG findings, etc.)

[Dr. Mizuho M. Morrison @mizuhomorrison]

“Routine use of bicarbonate in cardiac arrest should no longer be reflexively given.” @chitwngurl
Instead use in select cases of:
✅hyperKalemia
✅TCA overdose

@ERgnome As it turns out, TPA cures neither stroke nor ugly.

So bludgeoning every last drop of blood out of trauma patients is bad? Depressed I couldn’t hear the audible “duh”. Granted, it’s a pig model- maybe humans don’t need blood. Guess I’ll wait for the RCT. #FOAMed

Been waiting for this paper...

Closed chest compressions REDUCE survival in an animal model of haemorrhage-induced traumatic cardiac arrest.

@jimcramer If this improves the domestic bourbon alottment, I say we start a few more trade wars.

A lot more critically ill patients die from successful RSI than failed RSI

https://t.co/T9oG4GGHiD #FoxNews I feel like I'm late to the punch here, but it seems like this being the hardest Cutler has ever sucked slipped by completely unquestioned. I'd say 2009 at least deserves consideration: https://t.co/DslXxFxtx8

An interesting and alarming case for all of us pressured to see more and more patients with less and less support...

Congrats @RobGronkowski, one of the classiest to ever... dive at a defenseless guys head after the whistle. #TheNorthRemembers #GoBills

The tank is empty because it’s leaking. Looking forward to more data showing the futility of dumping 30 cc/kg into a bucket with a hole in it before fixing the hole. #FOAMed #CENSER

Fill the Tank or Rev’ the Engine… WHOA, PUMP the BRAKES: Early fixed dose norepi for septic shock? https://t.co/AwfNcwWxRk
