Anyone who's recently been to an emergency dept in Ontario recently knows things aren't exactly going well.

It's remarkable that the gov't is cutting physician hours (not how much we get paid) but rather how many MDs we can staff in many EDs around ON.

TL/DR - bad idea.

Why do I hate hearing “the patient was bucking the vent”?

Mainly because it’s usually followed by “so we increased sedation.”

I woke up this morning and almost spit out my coffee... I was shocked that Nadia Surani, @ONThealth official had the audacity to put these thoughts in a formal request...and was actually serious..

My wife and my dad are both primary care docs.

A few reflections as I look around a dysfunctional healthcare system.

I see firsthand every day how terrible the situation is yet one of the unfortunate features of staffing a system with such resilient healthcare workers...is that it will never truly "collapse"...

I reject the precept that "there are no ER nurses".

There are, they didn't die, they weren't lifted up and out in an end of times rapture, they were not sucked int a cosmic black hole - they are elsewhere in the system - waiting for a chance/change to get back to their vocation.

Happy Emergency Nurses Week from ENA President @Jenn_Schmitz_34! #ENWeek

[Brent Thoma @Brent_Thoma]

First we had an emergency room. As we provided more and more services, we grew into departments with dozens of beds. Now all our beds are filled with inpatients and we once again have a single emergency room - one that we used to call the waiting room.

@ENAorg @alisondayrn How much coffee do 700 Emergency nurses drink in a half day??!!

Let me paint a picture of #peds #emergency care for you.

Let's say your 3 year old bonks his head on the coffee table right before dinner. Nothing horrible, but needs stitches. You take him to urgent care. They tell you that they can't fix it, and you need to go to the ER.

#NurseTwitter : While assisting with a procedural sedation (# dislocation left ankle) the EP hands you a syringe with a blank Med Added label and says “this is 4 mg of ondansetron”. You get the feeling that there is some urgency to complete this procedure.
What is your response?
