On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country.

I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination.

If you want the results the REVERT trial had in converting SVT you need to do what the REVERT trial did.

Not some rough approximation of what you think you remember the protocol was.

@MedicMatt17512 Congrat Matt! You are an asset to the program!

@Aidan_Baron @georgette_eaton We do urine dips to detect ketones but it’s really more if it present or it isn’t. Hadn’t considered a quantitative sampling… hmmmm

[Bryan Laviolette @blav81]

@MedicMatt17512 @RyanMarino I think the more important issue is lack of access to addictions medicine support or RAAM clinics post Suboxone…

Happy to tell you that @BlairBigham & @cherylcookie21 are some of my favourite people! They are both speaking at Grand Rounds for @Ornge. The theme, “Defending Dignity, the intersection of end of life & critical care” is both important & under represented in medicine #FOAMed

Human remains recovered during ordnance clearing in Vendin-le-Vieil, France, have been identified as those of Lieutenant Francis (Frank) Henry Hemsley, a Canadian soldier of the First World War. 1/5

Paramedics of all settings, I implore you, if you were sending a patient to ED please do not tell them they *will* receive an investigation/treatment or be seen by X specialist. I encounter this often and it can lead to conflict. I suspect same is true for referring back to GP.

@CouchichingOHT Great to see a #communityparamedic as part of the inter-professional team!

[Bryan Laviolette @blav81]

Highly recommended reading for my prehospital care peeps.

[Dr Aidan Baron @Aidan_Baron]

I end up speaking to paramedic friends and collages every few months about doing medicine. Is it worth it? What’s the process like?

“Should I do it?”

And my answer is essentially these three things I’ve discovered and learned from others

Harm Reduction is to EMS as fire prevention is to the fire service.

We’re some of the only people in medicine that get 1-on-1 time with patients even after we’re done with what we need to do.

That last bit of time on the ride in is valuable, don’t let it go to waste.
