We have a population that is changing, and we can't keep doing the same thing.
Bringing someone to the ED is an intervention that may not be in their best interests.
We need to get better for them and for us.

Incredible audience at the pediatric abstract session, packed room. Outstanding research and incredibly laid back and funny discussion. It was such a blast. #EUSEM2024 @EuropSocEM
GeriEM: after propensity matching, there’s no difference at 30 days in terms of serious outcomes in elderly patients with syncope whether you admit them or not.
I’ve long thought that admitting loads of old folk with collapse?cause😡 wasn’t good for them… #EUSEM2024
The presence of emergency medicine is female, and the future as well.
Best abstract session so far 100% female. #eusem2024 @EuropSocEM @barbrabackus
Maybe the program with invited speakers should reflect that in the future.
absolutely thrilled to get to know our junior moderators, who will take over the stage this year together with experienced moderators. Please let us know how you felt about that.
One of the mainstays of our preparatory training was the famous flow chart from @EMManchester
On my way to copenhagen and #EUSEM24 with an all new abstracts tract (well not that much, but hopefully some steps into improvement). So if you are here for cutting edge science (as you should be) don't miss out on the real scientific program! @barbrabackus@YordaYou
Did you know that @docpgb is a full-time Critical Care Doc who suspects nobody reads bios? According to his kids that is probably all you need to know about him.
See you at #TBS25
@cianmcdermott @cazcormack @antwaldecho@UltraOriana@zedunow As a cardiologist turned emergency physician that was exactly one of my obstacles: first of all realising the shift in scope from 3D-EF measurement correct up to the decimal place to „yeah, the EF is severely impaired, don’t care about numbers“ 😂🥳
First talk is @EmICUcanada on five things your Intensivist wants you to do.
#uoftem24
1. Post intubation 10 mins.
Start the ICU basics
1. Lines,
2. fluids
3. Ng tube,
4. meds,
5. raise head of bed
6. Maybe use a checklist.
I've often said my biggest concern with the "save ED/ #Ambulance for emergencies" campaigns is they might actually work.
They might convince the public that they're the problem - not the system.
Today I saw exactly that.

Ultrasound workshop here at #TBS24 is on it‘s way @TBS_Zermatt, so see you tomorrow at 1pm sharp. And maybe later on with some surprise at the workshop night.
'We over-predict our ability to predict.'
A highly improbable event (a black swan) is:
- unpredictable,
- has a massive impact,
- and after the fact we concoct an explanation that makes it appear less random.
