@JoeKennedyEM @TriageNurseMD 100%. I try to keep that in mind working with our AMC transfer center…and it really hits home when out in the community and on the other end of the line.

I DISSENT. I wore this pin on my white coat until it got lost in the hospital laundry somehow. Obviously not enough. Time to burn shit down.
Thinking of the amazing RBG, and my wife, and my daughter, and my Mom, and mostly women everywhere who we failed today. Let’s go—let’s rage

Holy shit! Did everyone read this? So much for the "ACEP shills for CMG's" argument. Perfectly laid out, uses firsthand testimony AND uses the word 'monopsony.' Why isn't this letter getting more play? Congrats @GillianMD1 and @ACEPNow on doing the right thing.

As an ethicist who teaches #medstudents about the ethics of organ allocation I'm thrilled that organ transplantation is in the news. But many are troubled by the latest case. Is it right to refuse a heart to the unvaxxed? Who decides? Read on for, I hope, some clarity... A🧵...

As an E.R. Doctor, I Fear Health Care Collapse More Than Omicron https://t.co/AkLJveUKo8

Picture a commercial airliner taking off with a 33% reduction in flight crew, with 70% of the seats occupied by passengers unable to de-plane when they were supposed to, saddled with outdated IT systems and under major construction.

That’s how emergency medicine feels in 2021.

In just three days, your elected reps at ACEP Council will set the College's trajectory for the coming year. Let's reset and refocus on the frontline ER doc, improve comms, and show we don't need industry in College leadership. Make your voice heard at https://t.co/5v0xL7fAcF.

The harder we work to prove our status, the more insecure we appear.

Respect is rarely claimed through acts of self-importance. It's regularly earned through making others feel important.

The people we admire are those who go out of their way to help us feel seen and heard.

Emergency Medicine needs to be resuscitated and who better at resuscitation than EM docs @Rick_Pescatore @EMNews https://t.co/Eyq6cfdw3m

A modern drag on happiness: time confetti.

Emails, texts, and social media are eating 10% of our free time—and fragmenting it into tiny pieces that we can't enjoy.

A simple solution: blocking out uninterrupted time for leisure, just like for deep work.

@lena_carleton @EMIMDoc @kwhomd So many factors play into each application that I don’t think it’s a big deal IMO. Be comfortable with the quality of the training offered by the categorical programs and do what’s right for you #MedStudentTwitter #dualtraininglife

• Read everyday.
• Spend time with nature.
• Ask questions.
• Never stop learning.
• Don't pay attention to what others think of you.
• Do what interests you the most.
• Study hard.
• Teach others what you know.
• Make mistakes and learn.
• It's Okay to not know things!

Wait, @DGlaucomflecken tuned in today?!? #honored Thanks @ACOEP for letting me be a part of #ACOEP20

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

I’m giving a talk at #ACOEP20 tomorrow, but I have the day off today so I’m gonna get some CME. I hope my heart is listening to this.

If at first you don’t succeed, you're in luck.
Effortless excellence is a lousy teacher and a fickle friend.

The achievements we savor most start with a struggle and end with hard-earned mastery.

Success is sweeter—and more repeatable—if it's the product of deliberate practice.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Ask people for feedback, and they sometimes tell you what you want to hear.

Ask them about blind spots, and they're more likely to tell you what you need to hear.

Gains in self-awareness often begin with the question: What do other people know about me that I might not realize?
