True

I think a lot of people say they did an RSI, when really what they mean is that they used a paralytic agent to facilitate intubation

A 28yo woman died of post-covid myocarditis today. She was asymptomatic and treated at home and then developed complications after being declared negative. Let that sink in.

The decision aids are not meant to be used for no-brainers. Positive TN = don't use the aid! if + STEMI = don't use the aid! Decision aids never trump common sense!! Same for PERC, same for Wells, same for HEART, same for all decision aids. That's why you train, read, & learn!

Ok so we all learned to use decision aids as designed & not alter them to our needs (EMRap this month on Canadian syncope). But who, I ask you, who is taking a + Troponin chest pain patient and calculating a HEART score?!? Nah son, that's an NSTEMI. Admit. @EMSwami @amalmattu



So true RT @NicholasChrimes: To be effective, leaders in a crisis must: 1. Know which questions to ask 2. Know who to ask them 3. Have authority to make decisions based on the information provided 4. Have a mechanism to communicate the outcomes of those decisions

Barbara Bush's Secret Service detail, several of whom have been been with her for decades, refuse to leave her side until she is buried. Very powerful.

After attending and speaking at FAST18 in Nashville, I have come up with my own EMS Credo: Care for the sick and injured, honor the fallen by learning, continue our mission. #FAST18


Remember the Senior Chief’s talk… I am never out of the fight. Get up no matter what #FAST18

Phenomenal presentation!
