@nursekelsey During fetal development, the coronary arteries grow from the heart muscle backwards toward the aortic root, not the other way around.

Some musical gratitude for all the healthcare workers who do the impossible every day.

@jpsitesMD My favorite institutional approach (and I've seen several) is diluting a code dose in 10mL of NS. Then a standard 1/10 code dose can be administered with 1mL, and in a pinch you can push the whole syringe for a full code dose.

[Charlie Bergstrom @charbergs]

@what_sara_said @nursekelsey I agree.

[Charlie Bergstrom @charbergs]

@nursekelsey Yes- and we need to do a lot more- systemically and as the doctors on the team- to support nurses in these particular circumstances, especially in this particular time! ❤️

[Charlie Bergstrom @charbergs]

@nursekelsey Yes- of course. Please recognize that we may be very clear about what “everything” looks like, and in my experience they still may chose that, and may not even be able to repeat it after the fact.

[Charlie Bergstrom @charbergs]

@nursekelsey That said, I recognize that the outcomes of those conversations can make for a very difficult shifts for nurses- and I respect so much what you have to endure.

[Charlie Bergstrom @charbergs]

@nursekelsey Being “aggressive” in advocating a position isn’t effective. Nor is it our job. Our job is to lovingly, adequately represent the difficult choices and what the outcomes might be. It’s very, very challenging.

@zakwilliams I spent a few hours with you and your Dad when I was a Pediatric resident at SF General Hospital at Christmas. I’ll never forget it.
