. @atscritcare.bsky.social has been my intellectual home for two decades, and it was such an honor today to spend a few moments reflecting on the relevance of the great James Baldwin for teaching and working in this moment -- and what needed skills an intensivist can bring #ATS2025
picture of a bunch of my mentees and then a Baldwin quote: “So … what do we do? I’ll make you a pledge.
If you will promise your elder brother that you will never, ever accept any of the many derogatory, degrading, and reductive definitions that this society has ready for you,
then I, Jimmy Baldwin, promise you I shall never betray you

Its interesting to see INSPiRE-ICU2 protocol being published recently. It's an RCT in the US comparing safety and efficacy of isoflurane vs propofol in MV ICU pts. I wonder whether the results will be similar to the recently published SESAR trial or in fact show benefit. #pharmsky #medsky
