@JudyWelshMD Free food & beer never goes out of style! (Also would be cool to share the CP/MIH work going on in Indy & hear how things have grown at the clinic). Looking forward to some post-covid travel to CLE
The @AnnouncePodcast just released the newest installment featuring guests @KellyMDoran & Mr. Steve Brown, discussing how unstable #housing and #homelessness have health impacts on ED patients!
Check it out here on SocialEMpact:

Me: where does ice water come from?
Nurse: ...
Me: no like I know where ice water comes from but where do I get some for my patient on this floor
Another humbling intern moment - grateful for nurses who don’t outwardly make fun of me (and who know where the water is)!
Stephanie Fernandez also discussed “blue dot” studies to identify human trafficking/domestic violence victims (when sent to bathroom for UA, can put a blue dot on the cup to quietly signal a problem) - more at https://t.co/B6juJ5jpb0
It’s a full house at the #SocialEM committee meeting! Excited to hear from our panelists @alterdoctor @breenataira @AlisterFMartin & Stephanie Fernandez about finding a niche in Social EM #EMRAatACEP19
Stephanie Fernandez re human trafficking in the ED - 88% of victims sought health care, most of which was in the ED. Compared to validated screening questionnaires to identify victims, physician gestalt is <50% effective
@breenataira re her work in language justice - short, intense language courses tend to lead to reduced interpreter use and (potentially fatal) communications errors - see https://t.co/IaUPOQsYMj
@AlisterFMartin final lesson learned in through his #SocialEM opioid use work as a resident: “learn to rock the boat while staying in it” - falling out of the system entirely helps nobody.
@AlisterFMartin re making institutional changes as a resident: “when you’re asking for advice, you’re often getting an accomplice”. Reach out to your supports in your residency, department, institution.
@AlisterFMartin re lessons learned about #SocialEM in residency: there’s no far-away room that exists where all the smart people are with all the solutions to the world’s problems - it’s the room that you’re in.
Let the countdown begin! #ACEP19#SocialEM Section Meeting, Monday, October 28, 3-5pm, Room 706.

Join us!!
Things they don’t tell you about being an intern - targeted advertisers will misunderstand why you google “STI Treatment Guidelines” 4-5 times per week 😂
