In referring to the management of primary vs. secondary AFib, @MaxHockstein said it best, "diltiazem makes for a terrible antibiotic." Definitely not in the pocket of Big Dilt

In the favorite quote series: @DrPetDetective said it well on @heavyhelmet podcast: in terms of positioning, “the pelvic binder should be a mini skirt and not a cummerbund.”

Love this study because it confirms my bias on how great EtCO2 (available on every ALS ambulance) is in identifying sick patients (TLDR: triaged 2-4 w/<28 at presentation had a 3.7 LR for in-hospital mortality)

@AveloAir Avelo, where was my flight tonight from Midway to New Haven, 11/16? Have a reservation but no notice of a cancellation. No refund of the cost of the flight. Showed up at the airport and your ticket stand was dark! Left scrambling.

Really excited about this newly reduced price opportunity for EMS interest students to get involved in this incredible national organization.

“Don’t let the sun set on an untapped belly.” In suspected SBP, Diagnostic paracentesis performed <12 h from hospitalization in patients with cirrhosis and ascites may improve short-term survival.

"The dose makes the poison" (Paracelsus) in the context of one pill can kill. Common killers (antidotes): CCB (glucagon & insulin), TCA (bicarb), clonidine (narcan), chloroquine (diazepam), and sulfonylureas (octreotide).

Trying to collect memorable quotes during my EM rotations. A classic came up recently from Dr. Spiegel: "The WBC count is the last bastion of the intellectually destitute" (Amal Mattu). Meaning WBC doesn't equate to the presence or absence of infection so don't reflex order a CBC

A Thousand Naked Strangers by Kevin Hazzard - Definitely one to add to your EMS reading list. Not overblown or self-aggrandizing. Just describing the journey from scared novice to tourist to true believer to proficient practitioner to burned out.

Very appreciative of AAEM for hosting HPEM21. It was an indelible experience meeting members of the Illinois congressional delegation as well as some amazing fellow advocates.

[AAEM/RSA @AAEMRSA]

It was wonderful to see AAEM/RSA members at #HPEM21 & Advocacy Day! Thanks to everyone who traveled to Capitol Hill to speak & learn about how they can advocate for #PhysiciansRights! Our residents & students are the future of #EmergencyMedicine & we couldn't do it without you!

Congratulations to @DarienEMS for winning this year's 2021 EMS World Volunteer EMS Service of the Year Award from NAEMT! 50 impressive years of service to the @TownofDarienCT.

Great discussion by Kelly Grayson at CAPE on AA's pilot ET3 model benefits: Increased recoupment for billable refusals, decreased time on task, higher paramedic salaries. Challenges: Public expectations for transport vs. telehealth, staff buy-in, maintaining quality standards

[Rob Canning @Cannrg4]

Appreciative of @emresidents for publishing "A Letter from a Paramedic to an EM Doc" and for my colleagues who contributed many real-world insights into the development of the piece. https://t.co/54m5UW9WsC

[Rob Canning @Cannrg4]

@gueromedico @eannpearce I wouldn’t be surprised if you evaluated other prehospital interventions that the findings would be the same and it’s a testament to the value of good prehospital care.
