No one should go blind from exercising their right to protest: rubber bullets/marking rounds/tear gas all cause severe eye injuries and should NEVER be aimed at faces. All ophthalmologists should condemn the use of these weapons for safeguarding public order. #NYCPROTEST
Lots of people asking about using milk. Milk will help with the burning, but it’s not that effective at removing the oils. You need detergent for that. Baby shampoo, diluted dishwashing soap, etc.
For all the protestors, pepper spray is oil based. If you get sprayed DO NOT rub your eyes. Immediately blink as much as you can to wash out some of the oil with your own tears. Then, wash your eyes with baby shampoo and rinse copiously with water. Be safe.
Why is “being too political” an insult?
Shouldn’t all mature people be political?
Our policies reflect our mores and values.
Ideally, being political = engagement in determining both policies and people in the interest of what is just, wise and expedient.
An autopsy is a test and has false negatives like any other test.
The pre-test probability that George Floyd died from a 200+ pound force applied to the airways and vessels of his neck for many minutes is pretty much 100%.
No test can move that needle.
Me teaching ARDS to residents/Med students: All y’all will encounter ARDS so it’s important to know to how to diagnose it.
