It’s disappointing to see anti-vaccine propaganda being promoted at the Timmins Victor M. Power Airport @CityOfTimmins I’m sure we can find better content to show people arriving here

This is the rejection letter for the work that just won the Nobel Prize. Don’t stop believing!
I should save all of mine and maybe one day some stranger will think it’s an amazing relic and tweet it...

[Cameron Baston MD @cameron_baston]

Incredibly excited to put out this letter about #POCUS, especially #IMPOCUS in home visits! Well done @alexbonnelMD @Novaleda , although I think we can agree that the acronym is the best part https://t.co/JLNoQxgm8o

I'd like to share some reflections on the death of a patient. I’ve thought about her a lot.

She gave me explicit consent to tweet the details of her case, about four hours before she died. Her hope was that someone might benefit from her experience.

Today I finally used my extensive training in the Krebs cycle from undergrad and medical school to diagnose and treat a patient.

Just kidding. I rounded and did some caths.

“Over half of Canadian physicians said that they would be unwilling to go to a colleague for help if they were struggling with burnout or mental health... we have a responsibility to end that stigma” ~ @drgigiosler

2. As a beginner, learn what the normal scans look like.
3. Don’t wait! Seek out as many opportunities as you can to learn PoCUS.

[Ryan Seguin @RyanSeguin95]

(1/3) Over 40 MS1/2 sat in during lunchtime to hear @Al_Gheriani discuss PoCUS applications in Internal Medicine. The interest in #PoCUS @uOttawaMed is incredible!

(2/3) Some of the take-home messages:
1. PoCUS is not a replacement for good clinical judgement. It is simply another data point to help us better manage our patients

[uOttawa PoCUS @uOttawaPoCUS]

For those interested in #PoCUS and #GlobalHealth, Manual of Ultrasound for ressource-limited settings by @PIH is a great read!
