When you make your pregnancy announcement via NPR interview because you’re so sick of everything.

My husband and I can work ED shifts while COVID+, go to the gym unmasked, dine indoors, but we’re in a state of emergency and he can’t accompany me to outpatient OB visits. 🤯

What makes an effective medical officer? - If you ever have to choose between being a good officer and a good person, be a good person. Be visible to your Line Officer and bring solutions to them alongside reporting your problems.

“Leadership is a privilege not a right,” @Martin_Dempsey gives an excellent Grand Rounds at @WRBethesda What an extraordinary talk!

[Taylor DesRosiers @ttdesrosiers]

How should junior officers be “responsibly rebellious?” - Leaders should allow for culture of responsible rebellion; JOs often the recipient of culture from above but if their spirit is to improve the outcome for all, can choose successful moments to do so! Need JOs to be vocal!

We must be reflective on our failures and be critical of each other in a constructive way to grow stronger. “If you fail at something you must own it.... carry it long enough to own it.”

Ambition and humility must be a trade off - decisions should be made around character.

On Sean Conley:
1) He’s a D.O.- which means he IS a medical doctor
2) He’s a Navy officer- not a trained spokesperson
3) He has an unenviable job of trying to balance patient privacy vs an insatiable public appetite for every medical detail
4) He’s a good person in a tough spot

ANSWER TIME

Correct answer: A - Kidney

The organ most at risk of bleeding significantly is the kidney. Distal duodenum is RP, with proximal being intraperitoneal (as with spleen and tail of pancreas). Post any questions! Tune in next weekend.

Dear Emergency Medicine colleagues,

When this mess is over, you can all order as many absurd CT scans as you want and I won’t even read the indications before clicking accept.

Keep up the amazing work. You are heroes.

I intubated my colleague today, a young, healthy ER doc like me. This is what I learned...

@KimiChernoby I don’t wear contact lenses any more specifically because of this monopoly. Makes me so angry!
