Didn’t find any news of Modi visit on ⁦The New York Times⁩ front page but found this scathing opinion piece arguing that Modi “has delivered prosperity and national pride to some, and authoritarianism and repression of many others that should disturb us all." nytimes.com/2023/06/22/opi…

ESPN Knowing what to do in case of an emergency saves lives. Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart malfunctions & stops beating unexpectedly. Call 911 & push hard & fast in the center of the chest until help arrives.

Extraordinary attempt to break the world record for CPR training in Hyderabad today, over 2200 candidates. It’s a glorious way to start an EM Conference. Hats off to the Society for Emergency Medicine in India SEMI #EMCON

I grow tired of hearing about “grit” and “resilience.” Terms that have been co-opted by institutions looking to transform systemic failures into individual problems.

Unpopular opinion: As far as POCUS in Critical Care is concerned, here in United States, we lag at least 5 yrs behind our colleagues in other parts of the world (Europe, Australia, NZ, Canada). The lag time has decreased w efforts from people like P Mayo, J Díaz-Gómez, S Koenig

How the farmers protest in India is linked to the climate crisis. Or why climate politics is to be found everywhere and in things that would appear, on the face of it, unrelated to climate change. scroll.in/article/106382…

The moment Leopold Sedar Senghor heard that Thomas Sankara had changed the name of his country from Haute Volta to Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 , and the people who live there will be called Burkinabes, he sent a letter to him saying Mr President, this appellation does not correspond to
