Friends, "Sepsis", whatever that means, is truly the great masquerader.
This seemingly easy diagnosis lulls you into a sense of calm: fluids, antibiotics, lactate.
All the while, your patient with tamponade dies
Pete Carroll actually broke down the Super Bowl play with Richard Sherman
It’s hard as a Seahawks fan, but it’s interesting to here this perspective.

If subxiphoid is the only window available, can you still get most of the information for #POCUS purposes?
Read the latest post on https://t.co/5dIBLwYhWN that demonstrates how to utilize this underexplored window:🔗https://t.co/QCmrU30WKq

#POCUS guided Subclavian/axillary vein cannulation: increased safety and reduced pneumothorax by directing the needle toward the #subclavian vein at a point where it traverses over the second rib providing a protective rib shield between the vessel and pleura.

Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest athletes of all time.
In 2016, we got to see why.
Bryant gave a speech at an awards show.
He used the moment to address all athletes.
“We’re not on this stage just because of talent or ability,” Bryant said.
“We’re up here because of 4 am.
“We’re up here because of two-a-days or five-a-days.
“We’re up here because we had a dream and let nothing stand in our way.”
It was the Mamba Mentality on full display.

LESSON: You can’t cheat the work
Bryant was an obsessive athlete.
• He’d workout at 4am
• He’d train 3x as much (or more) as others
• He had a ruthlessly competitive mindset
He’s the perfect example of what happens when elite talent and work ethic come together.
The lesson here isn’t to be Kobe Bryant.
• You don’t need to wake up at 3am (sleep is good)
• You don’t need to constantly train (over-training is real)
• You don’t need to be ruthlessly competitive (there’s a dark side)
But whatever your craft, you can’t cheat the work.
There’s a process to becoming great (at anything).
• It requires time, intention and discipline
• It demands an unreasonable commitment
• It’s not for the lukewarm or the faint-hearted
There’s no shortcut to the highest mountains.
