The decision as to whether we should provide bicarb to our critically ill patient takes places every single day. This paper breaks things down amazingly well. Don’t forget to pay attention to the serum CO2. 🎩 tip to the authors. eddyjoemd.com/foamed/

Exposure to nature doesn’t only make us happier. It makes us kinder too. Data: Just recalling or seeing photos of forests, oceans, landscapes, or the stars is enough to evoke awe and motivate helping. The outdoors strengthens our connection to something larger than ourselves.
