You don’t have to stay in your lane. You do need to check your blind spots before changing lanes.

What gets people in trouble isn't tackling unfamiliar topics. It's being ignorant of their own ignorance.

A mark of wisdom is entering new terrain with an extra dose of humility.

Don't use your energy to worry.
Use your energy to believe, create, trust,

Let’s talk about why emergency departments are full.

We’re going to use Mary as an example. Mary is a completely fictional patient.

Let’s say Mary is 72. Her family doctor retired 5 years ago.

She’s in the ED after a fall “weak and dizzy” (we see this a lot.)

Euglycemic DKA.
https://t.co/lEdYdsJBmI
Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (EDKA) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition that presents with metabolic acidosis and ketonemia in the absence of hyperglycemia. It is often associated with the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, but can also occur in other settings such as fasting, illness, or alcohol abuse. The diagnosis of EDKA can be challenging due to its atypical presentation, and it is important to consider this diagnosis in patients with unexplained metabolic acidosis, especially those on SGLT2 inhibitors. Treatment of EDKA involves aggressive fluid resuscitation, insulin therapy, and correction of electrolyte imbalances.

It's finally done. Over 3 days of hand-plotting 173 years' worth of data. The end result is unbelievable.

What an incredible dataset to look at.

🧵1/Little I did know about Bachmann's Bundle (BB) before starting EP fellowship. Quick run👇

BB is the main pathway of electrical conduction between right & left atrium. BB is muscular bundle connecting right & left atrial walls.

❌Disruption of BB causes "Interatrial block"

I have attended many CPR classes over the years, but I was never told this…
What do you do when you're alone and have a heart attack?
Here’s an important post that can’t be shared often enough:
Take a 2-minute break and read this:
Let’s say it’s 5:25 pm, and you're driving home after an unusually hard day at work. You’re tired and frustrated. Suddenly, you feel a pain in your chest that starts to radiate down your arm and jaw. It feels like being stabbed in the chest and heart. You’re only a few miles away from the nearest hospital or home, but unfortunately, you don’t know if you can make it.
Maybe you’ve taken CPR training, but the instructor never taught you how to help yourself in this situation.
So, how do you survive a heart attack when you’re alone? A person feeling weak and whose heart is beating erratically has only about 10 seconds before losing consciousness.
But there is something you can do: cough repeatedly and very strongly. Take a deep breath before each cough, and repeat the coughing every second until you either reach the hospital or your heartbeat returns to normal.
Deep breathing gives your lungs oxygen, and the coughing stimulates the heart and boosts circulation. This pressure can help restore a normal heartbeat.
This is how cardiac arrest victims can survive long enough to receive the right treatment at the hospital.
Cardiologists say if you receive this message and pass it on to 10 people, we can save at least one life.
For women:
It’s important to know that women often have different symptoms than men. They rarely experience crushing chest pain or arm pain. Instead, they may have indigestion, tightness across the back at the bra line, and sudden fatigue.

E+R=O is how life works. It happens with or without your awareness.

Your life’s task is to master E+R=O.
