If I wanted to fix hospital and emergency care today, I wouldn’t spend a penny on hospitals or ERs. I would spent my entire budget overhauling nursing/rehab homes and mental health.

"Unfortunately, EMS clinicians typically receive little to no training on how to deliver death notifications, though they are likely to experience a situation in which a death notification will be needed." #deathcommunication ems1.com/ems-products/f…

GI attending blew my mind today GI: acidic food doesn’t make GERD worse. Acidic food is more basic than gastric acid, so all acidic foods act as a buffer. The problem is potassium content. High K+ foods activate H/K pumps -> increase endogenous gastric acid secretion 🤯🤯

Because the trajectory of alcohol withdrawal is so unpredictable, effective treatment hinges on frequent reassessments. This is traditionally done based on the CIWA-Ar score, which is long/cumbersome. Using a short and easy scale encourages best practice. emupdates.com/baws

Think about these when starting your nitro infusion for SCAPE: One sublingual nitro tablet: 400 mcg (same as one nitro spray) Patches come in 200, 400, 600 & 800 mcg Paste: 0.5" of paste = 5 mcg/min IV infusion, 1.0" = 10 - 39 mcg/min, 2.0" = 60 - 100 mcg/min
