Patient's who suffer from addiction are some of the most vulnerable patients we care for in medicine... It is our responsibility to help them access care that can save their life. - @cabanasmd, @NAEMSP President
Pts who overdose on fentanyl have a higher one year mortality than patients who have a STEMI post PCI.
The NNT for buprenorphine is 2. There is no other medication that we prescribe in the ED with a greater impact on mortality.
-@callan_fockele on the @NAEMSP Townhall.
@mattrife Missing him will never go away. (I wish to hell it would) Every time you say a joke, know that he helped you live your dream and was incredibly grateful to have you in his life as well. In every stride you make, he is still with you, guiding you and laughing his butt off. Hug.
If you ever worry that there are no longer good people in the world, here is a great example.
There are few rewards greater than how you feel when you care for people who can’t do for themselves. All Volunteers make the world better.
