I just can't believe I'm spending my thirties making sure my friends don't die in childbirth.

Tonight I learned something I’ve always suspected. Most people will support a rapist over a woman.

One things that is absolutely clear to me after reading a lot of medical malpractice cases is that no matter how by-the-book you were with following the standard of care, there absolutely is a doctor in your specialty who will testify as an expert witness AGAINST you.

For the love of all things holy just put all your orders in at once instead of trickling them in every 15-20 minutes for the next 2 hours

Y’all ICU folks are built DIFFERENT….. please tell me how we rounded for 6 hours the other day…6 HOURS talking about 12 PEOPLE…this is actual EM torture 🤧

ICU Pharmacology Secrets: This is another random collection of pharmacology pearls that I witnessed & wrote down during the last two months. And so it begins: 1. Hydralazine (H) is a widely used arterial vasodilator; especially in 🇺🇸, it is mostly used to treat

***TL;DR I'm looking for an open PGY-1 spot starting this year*** Hey guys, life is weird. About six months ago, two months into my EM residency, I started experiencing right arm weakness (biceps, deltoid). I couldn't flex my elbow or raise my arm above ~15 degrees. Now....(1/*)

TW: suicide There is an empty corner desk in a resident workroom at GW. Now forever engraved in my mind, that desk is a harrowing reminder of the cost of medical training. In his final words, Dr. William West said that he was simply out of gas, that he had nothing left to give.

Putting a baby in a freezer would kill it, but freezing embryos keeps them alive. That's why an embryo isn't a baby. Hope that helps if you're very stupid <3

What do we call that moment when we get in the car after an ICU shift and are relieved it’s finished but paralyzed because of what you witnessed in caring for people fighting to live. Unable to start the car, wanting to scream, cry, yell at whatever gods are listening. Be kind😞

HALF of the 600 patients in this study didn't end up needing a CVC. Think of the risk and effort (yours AND the patient's) saved by using peripheral pressors.

large, prospective study supporting the use of peripheral norepinephrine. extravasation did occur in 35 patients (5%), but it wasn't severe (no patient required surgery or substantial intervention for treatment of extravasation).

Disclaimer:: I am not a surgeon, but did have to do an emergency cric on a patient with massive hematemesis, a soiled bloody airway, who was coding. I've played this out in my mind mentally so many time and made the decision to cut before I hit the door. MY practical experience:

1. Ginger ale with crackers helps get that pediatric pt home. 2. Ginger ale with a turkey sandwich satisfies the hunger of your homeless pt. 3. Ginger ale cures the hypoglycemia of your RN that hasn’t eaten. Ginger Ale is a miracle drug
