@bobbisworldrn I know right? I had one yesterday who wasn't feeling well after taking double dose epilepsy meds for past 6 weeks. Then family refused ALL injections, due to traditional beliefs...

[#traumadoc4lyf @docphredrena]

@psennett @EM_RESUS So true! Saw many of these with end stage AIDS and in palliative care.

@MichaelDaignau3 @EM_RESUS Hopefully they aren't critical...

[Sam Ghali, M.D. @EM_RESUS]

When a critical patient develops a sudden and strong urge to move their bowels, they are about to code until proven otherwise. Trust me on this one.

A poem from Charles Bukowski's "On Cats", published posthumously, 21 years after his death in 1994.

My Cats
I know. I know.
they are limited, have different
needs and
concerns.

but I watch and learn from them.
I like the little they know,
which is so
much.

they complain but never
worry,
they walk with a surprising dignity.
they sleep with a direct simplicity that
humans just can't
understand.

their eyes are more
beautiful than our eyes.
and they can sleep 20 hours
a day
without
hesitation or
remorse.

when I am feeling
low
all I have to do is
watch my cats
and my
courage
returns.

I study these
creatures.

they are my
teachers.

being an adult means not knowing what words like “rizz” mean and being too afraid to ask

#TipsForNewDocs

Bad: "consider ____" and "continue to monitor"

Good: "If ____, then ____."

When you feel yourself writing "consider" or "continue," rework it as an "if, then" statement.

Notes better + thoughts better = better care!

Let’s normalize that a patient’s status may change within seconds. It is NOT your fault if they were okay on your assessment and then something changes.
