I tweet about anesthesia, critical care, and medical education. My tweets and interactions only represent me.

There’s not enough discussion on here about how hard it is to do residency with distance. I was told was it’ll be okay, you’ll make it work.

Here we are on our “golden weekend” after not seeing each other for months. Post 28 hour call.

Keep up this in mind for couples match.

100%. Remember PO:IV conversion is not straightforward, high variability in half life.

Good to use for bigger cases with at least a short/overnight stay.

@rishikumarmd Do you have an example of implementing automation in work/MedEd?

This video shows significant airway soiling. Suction was used continuously to provide a view in order to secure the airway (the SALAD technique) #AiRBlogVideos #FOAMed #Airway

You can nicely see the ICP waveform from the patients ( who was boarding ) ventriculostomy. Its very import to look and learn how to read all these different waveforms in the ICU, including doppler on echo and pocus.

Putting a 10cm needle through a rib to biopsy a lung mass next to the aorta, takes about 30-60min and pays us ~$90. Tell me again how physicians are overpaid?

I paid a locksmith $155 to change my front door lock. It took 5min.

[Emily Fridenmaker @emily_fri]

What people think I do in the ICU to help patients get better vs what I actually do in the ICU.

[Daniel Plack, MD @danielplackmd]

@seleniumdrive Totally agree. Rounds standardization should be unit specific.

Crazy that it has already been a year with this crew. I’m so thankful to be amongst them. Every critical care fellowship should be multidisciplinary.

Check out this video from current #RegionalAnesthesia fellow Dr. Rachel Douglas on gastric ultrasound.

It’s pretty much a general rule of life that it doesn’t matter how great your circumstances are, there will always be those who find reason to complain. And conversely there will be those who don’t complain.

Which do you want to be?

[Daniel Plack, MD @danielplackmd]

There is no such thing as a pulm-crit fellowship off of anesthesiology residency. If you want to do pulmonology, you need to do IM. Any anesthesiologist doing critical care is not a pulmonologist unless they are also boarded in IM and then did pulm-crit fellowship.

[Daniel Plack, MD @danielplackmd]

@DrCasteelEM Lots of people like to hate on this advice. Keep in mind it’s just that- advice. You can take it or leave it. It’s advice for how to build a strong financial future. If that’s not a priority to you, then the advice doesn’t apply to you.

@PulmCrit Underlines the need for a high index of suspicion for mixed shock. @CGSNabzdykMD

[Daniel Plack, MD @danielplackmd]

@nikhilautar1 @FaguxMD @TPP_MD Respectfully, I disagree. All interns should be expected to place central lines with supervision.

[Daniel Plack, MD @danielplackmd]

@BoyGeekDrone @TPP_MD It’s a problem in the US too. Some med schools have clerkship rotations (M3 and M4) that are largely shadowing with very little call experience.

@HappyDays_EM @nickmmark @ENirenberg @thehouseofpod Natural lung pressure is….

((Inverse of driving pressure) x baseline NIF) / BSA ?

Can we write this up @HappyDays_EM?!
