I’ve always been proud to be an Iranian American immigrant.

But to follow Stanford’s new language standards, I would need to call myself an “Iranian US-citizen person-who-immigrated.” 

This seems awfully wrong. (Thread)

Dear @potus and @SecVetAffairs, can you start offering abortion services at all VA hospitals, and specifically make an exception to allow care for civilian women? State laws then won't apply.

@jaymontgomery44 While this wasn't a lacrosse ball flying at >200 mph (!) I have to assume that this was commotio cordis.

Young pt with NICM told me today he “fainted” after the soccer ball hit him in his chest during a match. Was shocked to see this on his S-ICD. #EPeeps

[Amir Schricker @AxisDeviation]

@jeffrey_vinocur @jaymontgomery44 Followed up with pt, who confirmed he did in fact get hit in chest with the soccer ball. He then turned around to run another direction and collapsed. Great point though — and one which I hadn’t considered!

@JDMossMD If going in alphabetical order (A, F, H, St, Su) next up would be 🔺.

[Amir Schricker @AxisDeviation]

@jeffrey_vinocur @jaymontgomery44 Great question. Will follow up with him to see if he had confirmation of actually being hit. Stay tuned…

[Amir Schricker @AxisDeviation]

@paulzei Glad someone picked up on that!

@HHreibe The movie is actually propagation of the ILAM (activation) map. VT flatlined the A-line immediately despite pressors.

Great VT ablation in “ischemic cardiomyopathy”. Endo LV/RV normal. Epi ILAM with #HDgrid saved the day. Pics: epi scar, epi ILAM, crazy signals at term site. @EPWoodsShop @rabinkova @DrRoderickTung

Go ⁦@EPWoodsShop⁩! Great talk on rationale of ILAM to be part of PVI+ for AF/AFL. ⁦@AbbottCardio⁩

[Roderick Tung @DrRoderickTung]

ILAM for localized LA flutter?! Congrats to @EPWoodsShop for leading 🙏. DZ can be overt niduses for reentry in the atrium. Perhaps a potential PVI+. #QSQ

Congrats to our own Chris Woods @EPWoodsShop for being promoted to Chief Medical Director of Clinical Trials for the entire @SutterHealth system!

[Amir Schricker @AxisDeviation]

@Ed_Gerst Agree. And I see this essentially exclusively with St Jude devices.

[Amir Schricker @AxisDeviation]

Exciting day doing our first @farapulse pulsed field ablation (PFA) cases today! (Mapping done for fun, during waiting period...and not bad for 64 seconds of ablation.) @EPWoodsShop

[Amir Schricker @AxisDeviation]

@jeffrey_vinocur @ALFIEEP1 @mattaustein Completely agree with you.

[Amir Schricker @AxisDeviation]

ECG of the day. Called by ED: “All I see are P waves...but I can’t feel a pulse.” #EPeeps

[Amir Schricker @AxisDeviation]

@Doc_AleCuesta @ALFIEEP1 I believe it was temporary interruption of transcutaneous pacing.
