In 2019, I was a CVICU patient in cardiogenic shock due to fam cardiomyopathy. Had to get a heart transplant!

This week, I’m a doctor in a CVICU. Got my Crit Care Medicine #fellowship diploma, & have a few shifts left. 🥹

Huge thank you to my #organdonor for this. #donatelife

Hey! Look! Did you see that massively huge convoy of health workers who has gone in to work each & every day to provide healthcare for vulnerable people amidst staffing shortages, snowstorms & a raging pandemic? Yeah...shoutout to that convoy. That convoy is the best. 🙌🏾

@TracyMorton @mandy_peach @sjrhem The key is ‘meat glue’ - powdered transglutaminase used in processed meats, creates facial planes between layers of meat quite nicely!

Proud to announce the publication of CAPITAL DOREMI in @NEJM - a comparison of milrinone and dobutamine in cardiogenic shock. Contrary to the hypothesis milrinone was not superior to dobutamine in this randomized double blind comparison. https://t.co/XUz7fCR2GG

Breaking results: >10% of patients with subsegmental PE have DVT on ultrasound either at baseline or repeat ultrasound a week later. Be wary of witholding anticoagulation for subsegmental PE without negative serial ultrasound. #ISTH2021 @CAEP_Docs

Staff handover: aeCHF

My R2 handover: secondary to aortic stenosis, anaemia and angiodysplasia of the colon (after chart&lab review)

The R1 I’m handing over to: Have you heard of Heyde’s Syndrome?

I hadn’t. Residents add value to care. Way to go doc 👍

@jmugele A friend once told me “I want my physician to look weathered. Like they’ve seen stuff.” I now meet that standard.
