One of the worst things for science is when a leading journal like @JACCJournals publishes a manuscript so devoid of ethical and scientific rigor.

The responsible action would be to retract it and issue a public apology.
Anything less is a disservice to the medical community.

Here's a video I made breaking down this very important ventilator graphic from a patient who was intubated for airway protection. Your ability to understand these principles will save lives!

This is the type of thinking that needs to be brought into every emergency department. Looking to match the patient’s respiratory rate for whatever compensatory patterns they’re choosing is extremely important. Great video! Thank you for sharing Sam

[L F Doc💥 @straightparh]

Your x-rays, CT scan, ECG teaching skills are amazing and this is another great piece of teaching video.
Thank you very much doc. For taking time out from your busy schedule.

Early in my career, I consulted for Coke to ensure sugar taxes failed and soda was included in food stamp funding.

I say Coke's policies are evil because I saw inside the room.

The first step in playbook was paying the NAACP + other civil rights groups to call opponents racist

A fantastic example of one of the most powerful bystander interventions: bringing an AED to the site of a cardiac arrest.

Together with CPR, these two simple interventions are the most effective in saving a life in case of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Well done Ladesma!

@EM_RESUS @AslangerE I was thinking the posterior route as well. Very interesting indeed. Just go to show presentation and HX are key to work up.

if electrolytes could talk I just KNOW potassium would be soooo annoying

[derekbarbeau @dbarbeau01]

This is EXACTLY why the last thing you should EVER consider is intubation of a crashing asthmatic patient. Well done @EM_RESUS 👏👏👏 #FOAMed
