I find myself wondering why as an ED physician, I am often the one clarifying code status on cancer patients towards the end of their journey. These are important discussions and considerations that should occur upstream by their longstanding trusted treatment team.

[WheelERdoc @realEDdoc]

Can we pass a federal law prohibiting use of home BP cuffs between 5PM - 7 AM?

There is never any indication to check BP at home outside office hours. Any doctor who orders home BP checks for their patients should be legally obligated to see those patients immediately if ⬆️ BP

[Heather Webb @webbmd]

@ForteBlake Blake! This is outstanding! I’m so proud of you!!

[SaltyEM @SaltyEMNY]

Please stop telling people with high blood pressure but no other symptoms that they MUST GO TO THE ER RIGHT NOW.
When you give them this urgency, and our recommended practice is to not intervene on patients with good follow-up, we are setting everyone up to be disappointed/upset.

[Dr. Rick Pescatore @Rick_Pescatore]

Ambulatory BP monitoring may be guideline-supported, but clinicians recommending home monitors MUST inform patients that there’s no such thing as a BP so high that you “have to go to the ER.” https://t.co/BudXOrVmaL

If you’re on the fence about whether or not physicians need a union, read this article. The degree to which emergency physicians are getting fucked over by private equity right now is staggering.

[Andie Woods @AndieW24]

Way to go Myles!! So proud!! Onto Nationals!!

[Heather Webb @webbmd]

So proud of you! Can’t wait!

[Juan Wilson @x_juanwilson]

Thank you to everyone who has been in my corner. The people who embraced me. The people who’ve had a glimpse inside my mind & feel & believe in what’s coming. It’s been a really long journey, but we’re here.

My 1st independent shoe.

This will be all of me. Unapologetically.

Hi, ER Doc here.

I use this account to teach people about medical emergencies. It’s my birthday today and I’m hoping to hit 400K followers to be able to reach more people.

Can I get some follows and retweets to help me get there?

[Josh Davis @MedFactChecks]

This is your routine #medtwitter PSA: Please call the ED when sending a patient from anywhere.

It’s a #patientsafety issue. Poor communication is a top cause of medical errors every year. Don’t let it be your fault.

Including nurses on triage, PCP, UC, specialists…Everyone!

[Zaven Sargsyan @sargsyanz]

Escape room for physicians where you have to…

- Turn off (and on) the bed alarm
- Boost a patient in bed
- Pull tray table over the bed
- Troubleshoot a beeping infusion pump
- Silence and adjust alarm parameters on patient monitor
- Disconnect tube from an IV

What else?

[Heather Webb @webbmd]

This pretty much sums it up

I drank water from a garden hose but my kids need a pellet ice maker for their Hydro Flasks.

No. No it is not. I do t care what your chiro tells you. Their manipulations treat NO disease. I’ve seen 3 strokes in young ppl from vertebral artery dissections the same day as neck torque.https://t.co/KTaNY5Qcow
