EMS/Disaster @cooperEMed, EM @TempleEM, #FAWM certified, associate residency director. Graduate medical education, international EM, POCUS. Tweets my own.
@KJMcGurk When I was a med student, my surgery resident broke her ankle running to a code. Because of that I NEVER run. Ever. I walk very, very, very quickly. But never run. I am too clumsy and it will end poorly.
@effenephrine@KJMcGurk Yeah. I learned this skill mostly speed walking from the bathroom to the trauma bay. Never fails. If you poop on shift, there will be a trauma code.
It's weird but when I moved I never thought that the answer to "what do you miss the most" would be benadryl, ODT ondansetron, diltiazem, and sublingual buprenorphine.
Watching incredibly talented, extremely competent, just overall awesome EM physicians not be able to find the job of their dreams has been an unexpected and heartbreaking aspect of this pandemic.

@sargsyanz Never run. When I was a med student my surgery resident broke her ankle running to a code. I channel my best "a queen is never late" Julie Andrews impression and walk very very briskly. Also, running makes people panic and there is nothing worse than people panicking in a code
