@NoobieMatt Omg Matt so glad you’re ok. Btw I know you’re a badass but to know you’re AJ avenger?!

[Ben Abo @benabo]

@JonEMTP @FirstNetGov @FirstNet @ATT Haha yes. Oooops thanks

[Ben Abo @benabo]

I HATE AI based customer-lack-of-service. Looking at you @FirstNetGov ridiculous

That’s the tweet. First one in almost a year? Months? Whatever. Ugh

[Ben Abo @benabo]

@Rick_Pescatore @armyemdoc @gruntdoc @TheSGEM This. Right. Here.

[Ben Abo @benabo]

@annenortonnow How about me being threatened as a Jew despite providing medical care for Nazis with Swastikas tattooed and dear friends who are Palestinian? You ignoramus.

[Ben Abo @benabo]

@MedicMatt17512 @BenZabar Don’t call it chemical restraints. Call it chemical sedation. But yes use chemical sedation.

[Prodigy EMS @ProdigyEMS]

Tourniquet on a snake bite? You know @benabo has the answer… only on the escalator! @UKROBL1 gets the low down on the way down! @HISTORY @NAEMSP @EaglesGather

[Ben Abo @benabo]

@AmericanAir I get never an intent. But after how many years of being in service to not have a single employee be on the same page of how to help the fee hundred people?

[Ben Abo @benabo]

@AmericanAir Delayed for maintenance and plane switch by 3 hours. Then that suddenly Delayed last minute by 49 mins. Then we walk halfway down jetway and you pull us off for pilot time out. Then say customer service that way: closed. Go to another desk: closed. Directed to 3rd…

[Ben Abo @benabo]

No one there. 2 hour wait for phone… I have two small dogs and the 4 elderly people I was helping.

[Ben Abo @benabo]

@JamesWilsonDO1 @spenserlang @johnbrucewalla1 @DrNeilStone Yup. And only small percentage of QTc changes were minimal and only when at least 24-32mg within 4 hours

Xoxo

[Ben Abo @benabo]

@JamesWilsonDO1 @spenserlang @johnbrucewalla1 @DrNeilStone The other drugs. Zofran yeah no not true QTc prolongation unless massive doses I don’t even see cancer patients get

[Ben Abo @benabo]

@JamesWilsonDO1 @johnbrucewalla1 @DrNeilStone I agree except not even once will I get an ECG for zofran if giving less than 24mg in less than 6hrs

[Ben Abo @benabo]

@spenserlang @JamesWilsonDO1 @johnbrucewalla1 @DrNeilStone No. The QTc prolongation isn’t really a worry. It’s only if excessive in <6 hrs AND was about 0.06s… so no. Never. Ever.

[Ben Abo @benabo]

@BenZabar @EBMgoneWILD Yup. Nice snek

[Ben Abo @benabo]

@Supermansings Yeah, you can blame them for making rash decisions

[Ben Abo @benabo]

@k_kinzel Oh. I haven’t had much rather use that for just plain meetings.

[Ben Abo @benabo]

What is your least favorite online meeting platform, and how do you avoid being forced to use @MicrosoftTeams ? I really think I will refuse to be on a meeting that uses Teams.
