@passing_gas People might choose to be vaccinated if they:
•are significantly immunocompromised and may be at greater risk of getting COVID-19 again
•have a job that requires them to be vaccinated
•have a job that puts them at greater risk of being exposed to COVID-19.

@passing_gas This is the Fed Gov advice:
People who have had COVID-19 can be vaccinated with a COVID-19 vaccine. Vaccination can be deferred for up to 6 months as past infection reduces the chance of reinfection for at least this amount of time.
There is no requirement to delay vaccination.

@JJKALE2 Answering yes to this question would actually imply that he has achieved something!

Just as atropine fell off the cardiac arrest algorithm, TXA stopped being invited to the UGIB party, & remdesivir suffered her public fall from grace, hydrocortisone is no longer recommended for managing anaphylaxis.

Farewell, hydrocortisone. We’ll always have COPD.

It has always been this way. The 2 biggest myths. 1. GP patients are the cause of ED problems. 2. This was an unexpected surge.

@TessaRDavis One morning, fatigued from night shift, I gave the honest answer to that question to a group of non medical friends who I really like. As the words fell out of my mouth I was struck by the clear trauma that I was causing them as they had never thought that this stuff is real

You’re 4 times more likely to be hit in your home by a crashing plane than to die from a blood clot from the @AstraZeneca vaccine.

Thanks @EMAJournal for supporting our important study which we hope can save lives after shark attack. A simple technique anyone can do #pushhardhalfwaybetweenhipsandbits @davidlamondSC

@drgeoffhealy Great analogy because with 8 secs of useful consciousness with aircraft decompression at 42000 feet then not looking after yourself will definitely mean your kids are not looked after

@cliffreid Similar to aviation - lots of time with the first office flying with a captain before they become a Captain. Best way to learn how to deal with inflight emergencies is doing the real thing with someone who has done it before...

It is popular but disingenuous to blame ED crowding/access block on GP-type patients. Access block is actually overwhelmingly caused by the inability to admit the seriously ill/injured from EDs to beds for definitive care. Systemic solutions needed https://t.co/G3JgToaAwe
