Where are all our usual Emergency Gen Surg patients with septic and ischaemic problems? Dying at home untreated? Too worried to come in? I fear a big influx soon of very sick patients with advanced disease. Why are we not talking about this?

@RedCross I understand the critical need for donation. Every drive near me on multiple days says “no more appointments available”. Will I be turned away if I go anyways? I can’t imagine them turning away a donor of the need is so great !

Student loan email today: I’m accruing $25/day in interest; $750/mo, or $9000/yr. So w/o paying at least $750 a month (which many residents can’t), my loan balances will just continue to go up.

I went to one of the least expensive schools in the country. #StudentLoanDebt

I pulled into the hospital parking lot for night shift with an uneasy feeling in my stomach. I'd heard on the radio about a bad trauma when I was on my way in to work. Somehow I knew it was going to be a rough one...

Watch this incredible video of a patient with venous thoracic outlet syndrome. Provocative testing shows right subclavian compression and compromised venous return—you can even see flow reversal refluxing up the neck!

@BlairBigham All the high tech stuff -cath labs, 911 systems, helicopters, ECMO, everything modern medicine has to offer in cardiac arrest is essentially futile, unless these first link in the chain - bystander CPR- is solidly placed

Recently had a #paramedic student ask if I still provide patient care, or if “you’re just admin now?” Was able to say I proudly staff monthly & that it keeps me grounded as an administrator so that I always understand what my team experiences. #leadbyexample #EMSleadership

Took my 94 year old father-in-law to the doctors. Sat back and watched his eighty-year-old internist do a thorough physical and history. No labs or imaging
this visit.
Imagine.... medical care actually guided by just physical exam and history.

A vanishing art.

[Jeff Jarvis @DrJeffJarvis]

A worthy rant...

I can’t agree more. Treat every field intubation as a difficult one.

If it turns out to be easy, it’s likely because you prepared.

I stayed for hours after my shift yesterday to be with a little girl whose daddy was dying. We coloured and sang and wandered the secret passageways of the hospital. She confided in me that she is in fact Hermione Granger, a good wizard. I made her a special wand...

@ktcollopy They lost ALL of my wife’s luggage, told her to replace it all and submit receipts, we’ve never seen a dime.

I used to say I wish there were a vaccine for stupidity. It never occurred to me that the people who need it wouldn’t take it.

@wine_oneone Oh well 🤷🏼‍♂️🤞🏻

@jarrod_cross1 @markpiehl @markpiehl would love to elaborate I believe- seemed like up to 4, at a skilled and controlled rate of admin, with a syringe of roc drawn up and ready within arms reach but only utilized if absolutely necessary

[Rudy Hanzel @rhanzel14]

kids that are big sick and need intubated to save them, in which intubation can also kill them, think deep sedation intubation (4mg/kg ketamine) + HFNC, without paralytic @markpiehl #FAST19

[Rudy Hanzel @rhanzel14]

@DrJeffJarvis @MikeVerkest Literally a few hours before you announced this I was thinking to myself- man id love to be involved in some kind of pre hospital/transport clinical research, but HOW ? Anxious to see what this turns into !
