Hey EMS docs/fellows, there is a job opening for an EMS medical director with a cool system. Let me know if you can't find the link or any questions. Let people know.

But what about EMS???? Asking for a few thousand friends. #EMS #payparity

PAC is now available in Europe with upcoming events in Germany and Austria. Check it out! https://t.co/1Y96VrCA8U

Even if no obvious clinical or procedural gaps exist, dig into:
🔍 Clinical reasoning nuance
🎭 Communication with patients/families
🤝 Team dynamics
🧠 Efficiency, prioritization, resilience

These are advanced skills that benefit from coaching.

[Dr. Rick Pescatore @Rick_Pescatore]

So by all means, push the next big breakthrough. But don’t forget the places that won’t see it for years. Because no algorithm is coming to intubate at 3 AM. No AI is staffing the fluorescent hallways. People are.

Protected Airway Course 2025 is all about innovation & teamwork - proud to be faculty doing Stress Lab 2.0 with a fantastic group of multidisciplinary clinicians. High-stakes airway management meets stress inoculation!

Had a blast helping out with the Protected Airway Collaborative this past weekend. DL, VL, FONA, SALAD, BEEF SALAD, and more! Learning with expert educators on innovative sims and cadaveric models was a great way to spend the weekend. And hanging with airway nerds!

[Joshua Kimbrell @joshkimbre]

Saw an AED at school today with a warning like this.

We wonder why bystander AED use is so low? We deter people from using it!

[kathryn chadason @le_chadd]

@MDtheDO Sick thank you! Love a good subreddit

[kathryn chadason @le_chadd]

@excelsioremt had a pt ask me if we kept leeches on the truck because of a particularly embarrassing blood letting moment, & another time a preceptor called me “puddles” the whole shift - i somehow managed to blood let all over his boot and no where else lol - ur not alone :) just takes time

[kathryn chadason @le_chadd]

@excelsioremt Tamponade higher than you think, just above the end of the cath.

I used to hate non occluding caths - now they’re my go to :)

Also if ya want sum xtra practice 👇

[kathryn chadason @le_chadd]

Thx to an unusually slow shift, I came up with a way for student to practice IVs w/out sacrificing any human limbs:

- draw up partners coffee
- insert into 250cc bag
- tape tubing to stretcher handle
- begin acupuncture/voodoo ritual

Bonus: IV bolus coffee when done
(jk don't)

love that my pre-calc teacher keeps referring to the founding mathematicians we’re learning about as our “great-great-grand professors”
