@CriticalCareNow , Haney, just wanted to say thank you for ResusX. I’m a military PCCM attending, and I very much appreciate and enjoy your approach to learning in the critical care setting. I’m definitely going to continue subscribing and learning. Keep up the great work!

A big shout out to everyone who uses dictation/transcription software to write their progress notes, and then refuses to proofread.

The entertainment value in these notes is getting me through my Monday.

@chungk1031 Glad you’re feeling better and the problem ultimately was identified and treated. You bring up some salient issues/questions that need to be further addressed.

@SouthwestAir reimbursed me $165 for my cancelled flight from LAS to HNL. (The trip was north of $3000 for my wife and I for HNL to STL roundtrip). This experience has been an utter disaster. Will you pay for our hotel, cab, and food yesterday? I’ll never fly Southwest again.

@hasanminhaj @jimmyfallon @SlackHQ Used to be a fan of yours, not anymore. You’re pretty ignorant. By the way, we’re in a pandemic and have worked our asses off, way to try and stay relevant.

Excited to share three new ICU #OnePagers on a couple important critical care topics: acid base, arterial lines, and EVDs. Lots of nerdy fun here including Winter's formula, Lundberg waves, and pulsus alternans. Also an updated version of the ARDS OnePager. #FOAMed #FOAMcc
