Vaccines are one of the most important and effective tools in modern medicine. We strongly support the use of vaccines to protect individuals, families and communities.

Placing an Art lines during cardiac arrest isn’t just feasible it’s *essential* to providing optimal resuscitation.
Arterial line placement during cardiac arrest in Emergency Department is feasible and highly successful! Very proud of our star MS1 @HofstraU @ZuckerSoM Michelle Akerman, leading author on our letter to editor @ResusJournal reporting our experience @NSLIJ_EM @Northwell_EM
And remember this when they come in middle of night looking fine and parents say they were “wheezing” without asthma/RAD history 1- they did look bad (stridulous) at home 2- the cold humid air outside made better 3- it was stridor not wheezing (parents only use words they know)

In patients presenting with cUTI (including acute pyelonephritis) who are improving clinically on effective therapy, we suggest treating with a shorter course of antimicrobials, using either 5-7 days of a FQ or 7d of Non FQ rather than 10-14d 14 days for cUTI is obselete!

I’m sharing an actual recent peer-to-peer call that shows what physicians and patients face when trying to get a surgery approved. This call felt as absurd as it sounds. The peer-to-peer call was to advocate for surgery to prevent and treat lymphedema for a patient with breast…

RFK Jr. went on national TV and spouted egregious, dangerous falsehoods about vaccines. As a parent and infectious diseases doctor, I couldn't stay silent. @FoxNews might not fact-check him, but I will. I've reviewed the trials. I've catalogued them. I have receipts. 🧵

Infected stone is why we get the CT!! That can be life threatening and rapidly progress to sepsis and MODS.
Pyelonephritis and cystitis are diagnosed clinically. I literally couldn't care less what the CT scan shows, unless there is specific concern for a renal abscess or perinephric abscess #IDTwitter #MedTwitter
I love this simple tool to address a VERY important and often overlooked part of inpatient and critical care @tarvinwashere
Mobility is one of the most important - and most overlooked - ICU interventions. One challenge is its isn’t always obvious what mobility level a patient has achieved. I built these “flip books” using the JH-HLM scale to indicate (& motivate) mobility in every patients room.

An urgent care referred a carpenter with a splinter in his hand to me. It was removed with tweezers. Referred a laceration to the ED for sutures. Referred wrist fractures to the ED for splinting. These places offer very little value to many patients.
Amiodarone isn’t the answer just because it’s listed first. Let’s give lidocaine some love!! Our @AnnalsofEM commentary lays out the argument for lidocaine in VT/VF arrest. Time to rethink your ACLS autopilot. #TwitteRx #EMRx Free access link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kyInib7EMAhG
