@forrestbohler@compactmag@matthewschmitz do you anticipate that the community you’ll soon serve will want a proud champion for white male doctors operating on them?
Middle-aged male on day 2 of withdrawal from opioids. What’s your diagnosis? (1st EKG prior to admission, 2nd at time EKG changes noticed, 3rd 6 hours later w/ acute hypotension) @ecgandrhythmRoe@ECGwithReid@emcrit@cliffreid
@molsjames hey so do you think a med student with a disability that affects manual dexterity, for example, is going to choose to pursue trauma surgery?
33F with severe Group I PAH, in ICU on three vasopressors and CRRT. You see this CVP waveform on the bedside monitor. Look closely- what do you see? @emcrit#pulmcrit#criticalcare (CVP as an entity aside)
@DrNickDalmon “They will carry ultimate clinical responsibility” In my state, nurse practitioners can and do practice independently with no physician supervision. This very much includes ICU bedside procedures. And don’t worry; they will also later supervise NPs in training :)
@PulmCrit i’m imagining it now:
“well team, the MAP is barely hitting 50….how long until we can titrate the norepi?”
“3 hours, 32 minutes, and 49 seconds.”
*looks at family member* “well, we’re doing everything in our power to save him.”
*kidneys screaming*
@ecgandrhythmRoe Hmm, could be similar to this tracing? Poor R wave progression/persistence of precordial S waves, small amplitude in aVL (not as much lead I), rightward axis @ecgandrhythmRoe
