@HouthoffKavita Any chance the tip of the Tuohy got a bit bent as you were walking off lamina? Sometimes even a small bend allows LOR but impedes catheter advancement. If I can’t advance the catheter after hitting bone multiple times and finally getting LOR I’ll check the needle tip.
@Will_MBBS_MMed@thenfb I saw this on the plane ride home to Vancouver a couple months ago. I remember that old Chinatown growing up there. Sad to see it go.
@KaraPepperMD @MikeMcClurkinMD Because bariatric surgeries are done in the OR and egg retrieval is often done in outpatient clinics without all the necessary airway adjuncts and resuscitation equipment. If you do egg retrieval in the OR then I 100 percent agree the BMI cutoff is silly.
@sheworelemonjp@honest_to_jove@ClinicalPearl Yes, those people are called staff or attendings. Residents are there to learn. Yes, they also provide service, but if the system depends entirely on 2 residents with the expectation that neither of them can get sick, that system is broken.
@asquared20me@strauss_matt@strauss_matt this person is asking a question that demonstrates a misunderstanding of how denominators affect absolute ICU numbers. As someone in a position of authority advocating for educating people, why are you not explaining this simple point of clarification to them?
As Omicron cases explode
We need a strategy for isolating folks who test positive
We need to think about the purpose of isolation clearly
Because if we don't get it right,
It'll both be hugely disruptive and won't keep us safe
So let's discuss what we need to do

@nat_wainwright8@UHN Had the same issue trying to book a test for my son, who was exposed at school. I think our case numbers are grossly underreported right now due to testing bottleneck. Scary thought.
Text messages between Elizabeth Holmes and Sunny Balwani today at the #Theranos trial.
Holmes:
"You are the breeze in desert for me."
"My water."
"And ocean."
"Meant to be only together tiger."
Balwani: "OK"
A few thoughts from the COVID ICU @UnityHealthTO@UofTanesthesia@SMHcriticalcare
1. Racialized communities are disproportionately affected. EVERY patient admitted to the ICU I worked in was a person of colour. As a society, we have not done enough to protect these communities.
