@IM_Crit_ E. None of the above. Petition your credentialing office to remove merit badge courses.

@IM_Crit_ "I can't do anything you don't want done, but you're tying my hands by refusing. This is my friend from palliative care to talk about what you really are looking to get out of your care here in the icu"

[IMCrit @IM_Crit_]

I get why some of my ICU colleagues prefer working nights; fewer rounds, less bureaucracy, and a tighter-knit team. But no matter how you justify it, the biological reality catches up to you:

we’re dying one night shift at a time

[Luke Duncan @amcdocdunks]

@IM_Crit_ We're aggressive about VTE ppx at my shop after a cluster of PEs- low incidence but it's an STS tracked quality metric.

The answer from 2025 CABG report is DVT rate 0.75% and PE is 0.17%.

Generally, these are mobilized patients on atleast ASA +/- NOAC/VKA (Afib or Valve).

@LeahHoustonMD A job description: I put pixels in an "Epic" program that have worth to my employer. They send that data to brokers to exchange the pixels for digital representations of virtual currency in electronic banks backed by the US Government. Productivity = $ value of my work.
