Very wise words. Seems like so long ago when we had @BarackObama leading our nation. We need diversity openness & inclusivity in our world. Not insults & divisiveness. @UCSDMedSchool @UCSDEMResidency #BlackLivesMatter

Honored to be among the #meded award recipients at @UCSDMedSchool tonight along so many other amazing educators I love and admire.

[UCSD Ultrasound @ucsdsono]

Let’s do some #nerveblocks! Our @UCSDEMResidency POCUS faculty & Fellow ran a superb regional anesthesia workshop. Taught the serratus anterior & the PENG blocks! So useful for rib fxs, hip fxs, & more! Thx to @BenSupat and the UCSD U/S division for a great session! @UCSDHealth

[Jailyn/Ben @coreultrasound]

Sometimes the soft tissue surrounding fractures are so swollen that LM-based hematoma blocks don’t seem to work. Adding #POCUS to your procedure can help with precision placement of that anesthetic!
