UK Occupational suicide study demonstrates male paramedics have a 75% increased risk of suicide to other professions. Red flags include sickness absence, injury, loss of licence, change of job role and alcohol & drug misuse. #MHM2018#ParamedicMentalHealth
I’m sorry but 8 months for stabbing a paramedic trying to help you is not a deterrent it’s a joke! Will it take a healthcare worker being killed before this is taken seriously. This is disgusting #ZeroTolerance https://t.co/aJMk1RhVt1

For a really interesting patient perspective on the #ems#EmergencyMedicine experience of a man figuring out he is having an MI watch @ThatKevinSmith talk about his journey. https://t.co/r9oTBfiMQ7 interesting how he picks up on all the little comments and modesty needs #FOAMed
#ECG of an unconscious young man thought to be in "V-Tach"
His rate is ~110 bpm
When the rate is <120, think #Hyperkalemia
K+ was 9.5!
If you can recognize this without blood work one day you will save a life!

Obviously futile CPR is a terrible thing to do. Subjecting a frail, ill patient in last days of life to hours on trolley in hospital corridor is even worse. We must protect those who deserve right to die peacefully in their own beds. #havetheconversation before it is too late.
