💡Did you know?

Patients with liver disease may present with an ⬆️ coagulation panel 🩸🩸 but they can actually be at ⬆️ risk for clotting 🔴 too 🥴

(So don’t d/c that DVT prophylaxis just because of a bump in the INR😉)

If you're at extremely low risk for a severe case of COVID19 why does getting vaccinated make sense? The simple answer is that you still reap massive personal benefits from getting vaccinated because it helps end the pandemic. Let me explain 1/8

When a doc on inpatient service takes the time to call you and tell you how helpful your med rec note was and that you were a big part of preventing an ICU admission 😊❤️ #EDPharmD

Benefit of Twitter is I can literally curbside leading experts in the field, stay in touch with new literature, make new friends and laugh with memes. All at the same time!

And now for a #pharmacyeducationboard inspired by the new ED-AWARENESS study (and my own personal soapbox)! 📢😲

There continues to be more and more literature detailing the harmful psychological effects of inadequate or no sedation post-RSI 😢

All I want for Christmas is pharmacists to be allowed to make antibiotic changes without me cause let’s be real they know more than me and if I have questions I’m going to ask... the pharmacist @SICUPharmD @cvhmurphy #teamworkmakesthedreamwork

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

The best vaccine is the first one you are offered.

You won't have any protection at all whilst holding out waiting for a particular one.

All the approved vaccines are safe and effective.
