On my own authority I can pretty quickly get someone a t-shirt or a sticker with a picture of the aircraft on it…. but beyond that? lol.

I’m in DC scheduled to give this talk today. But the organizers flagged slides in my deck that mention racism, structural gaslighting, New Jim Code and other themes that are off limits in the Land of the Free.

Hey Crit-Care peeps, why have I never seen metaraminol in the USA or in most of our presser literature? Paper I was just reading mentioned it so I had to look it up... Is this a cost thing? Adverse effect issue?

Now you have me thinking about how a c-collar could be used to hold a pressure dressing in place in someone who’s been shot in the neck… 🤔

Is the goal to kill the patient? Tap water from the sink into the IV would have been faster and cheaper.

Dear hospital admin of BSky I need help! Our nurses are unhappy? We have tried the following, compared to last year they are, Earning less, Getting less PTO Less Overtime Less incentives Less schedule freedom And we even let them have more patients to be responsible for! What else can we do?

If you get trampled by a military horse, did you die from a biological weapon? These are the important questions I think.

So how is your little cage? Still breathing? Seriously, that is a mixed blessing of a a title, but probably a good one. A person who can see the serious problems coming before the rest of us can, is a gift of a person to have around.

I have summarized this for my medicine trainees as follows: “While the science is complicated, in general, more radiation will not be better for your patient” -It seems like a decent explanation when they want to order yet another CT scan.

If you are not worried about fluid overload. Do you have any reason not to give it? Not saying it’s perfectly safe. But it’s pretty darn safe.

Echo…? And EKG section can maybe be removed? I don’t think it’s predictor of anything, and I assume we are using this in the context of a know PE already?

“Doctors used to recommend preventing 11 diseases and now they recommend preventing 72! We need to decrease the amount of diseases prevented a little bit.” You see how stupid that sounds?

I know of Terry Pratchett & his works, yet I've never gotten around to reading his Discworld series (only the stand alone "Good Omens"). Prime has "Hogfather" and it's a great delight. Death is a goddamn hoot. Happy Hogswatch to all who celebrate!

Just wanted to stop by and say hello from your friendly neighborhood ICU where I also definitely don’t suffer from a sampling bias, and to tell you that you are not crazy. Practically everyone has sleep apnea.
