@WalmartCanada Your ‘assistance’ seems like AI generate attempts at empathy without any clear actionable items to address your malfunctioning website, or unreachable store, and unhelpful phone line … which allowed this theft. Very disappointed!

Interesting RCT in @NEJM about platelet transfusions prior to CVC placement in people w/ thrombocytopenia (Plt 10-50k):
- higher rate of grade 2-4 bleeding w/o Plt transfusion: 11.9% vs 4.9%
- difference driven by much more bleeding w/ subclavian lines

#IMPOCUS for pleural effusion is more accurate, takes less time, and confers higher confidence than physical exam. #SpineSign Thanks to

@AmandaHempelMD @gjr1837 @lazongs I just hope the end is soon, and we can learn and improve for the next time -

@gjr1837 @AmandaHempelMD @lazongs Capacity has been an issue for a long time (the real problem being health care cost). Capacity should have been addressed pre-COVID, so the system isn’t so fragile. China built new hospitals quickly when COVID came, not impossible to do.

Now sending ICU patients to Kingston (as soon as we can secure a helicopter).

This absolutely NOT our usual winter surge.

Scanning a patient in ICU...Stopped to trace LV. Literally, put the probe back on patient...then this...instant, solid clot. CPR started...no point. Entire heart clotted in a flash. Case courtesy Julia Lewallyn Ronin.
