🎵 🎼 Fantastic performance of Ravel’s Bolero by the @AtlantaSymphony. I used to joke that I could fall asleep playing that piece and never get lost. Not the case with tonight’s brilliant interpretation! Bravo to the direction and musical talent! 👏👏👏🎻🪈🎺🎷🥁🎹

Rounding out a busy week at #WADEM2023 with a ride through Killarney nat’l park. It has been a fantastic week, reconnecting with people and meeting new minds. 🌍

[Esther Hwang, DO MPH @e_hwang]

IS there a better way to triage? The verdict around the world is…🤷🏻‍♀️ but @JessWOsMD and I really enjoyed the interactions across the 🌍 at #WADEM2023 🇮🇪 sharing what we do at @EmoryEM and discussing this universally challenging topic! 🍀

This is important information, worthy of academic papers. So not biased…but my sibling @irenatfh drives home the point of adding another factor driving outbreaks.

❕HAPPENING NOW❕

[ProPublica @propublica]

On a recorded call, a @UHC nurse and an insurance broker laugh while discussing a patient whose claim had just been rejected.

They agree that any appeal would be a waste of the family’s time and money:

“We’re still gonna say no.”

Bystander CPR can double or triple the survival rate from sudden cardiac arrest, but less than 1/3 of SCA patients receive CPR before first responders arrive. Thank you to @HamlinIsland & @American_Heart for spreading the word. https://t.co/R3WkVkLQpF #CPRwithHeart #HeartMonth

[Esther Hwang, DO MPH @e_hwang]

My parents are bilingual and don’t always live in the US. They’re curious about my specialty and about #GradyEMS. So…I got them “A Thousand Naked Strangers” by @goes_by_hazzard translated in Chinese! I can’t wait to see their reaction! 🚑😱😵‍💫🤣
