Still doing 60 mg IM ketorolac? Consider 15 mg instead, glad to have the IntraMuscular data to go with the IV from @painfreeED previous work.

Physician asked me for push-dose epi. Nurse grabbed epi code syringes, handed them to me. I stated, βthatβs not what she wants, Iβll make it, I have to dilute it.β She responded, βthatβs epi that we push.β Sheβs right. Iβm thinking a better name might be micro-dose pressors

As an emergency pharmacist, I have always been so proud of the collaborative nature of the ER. Iβm not a member of any EM organizations. The lack of interdisciplinary collaboration in our EM organizations and this kind of behavior is why

In the medical setting, *resident*, *residency*, *fellow*, and *fellowship* belong to physicians ONLY. β¬οΈπ
Every EM physician, resident, & student should be paying attention to the battle on scope of practice. π₯Ό

Brilliant proposal from Aravind Chodavarapu for how we can refer to post-graduate pharmacist training: phresh phresidents doing phresidencies and phellowships
