Always a blast when @EmoryEM-MedTox☢️, EMS🚑, @EMORY_CEPAR get together for science 🤓and learning more about radiological emergencies @Radiation_AACT @AACTinfo @ZiadKazzi @e_hwang @PoisonCenterGA
🎵 🎼 Fantastic performance of Ravel’s Bolero by the @AtlantaSymphony. I used to joke that I could fall asleep playing that piece and never get lost. Not the case with tonight’s brilliant interpretation! Bravo to the direction and musical talent! 👏👏👏🎻🪈🎺🎷🥁🎹
Rounding out a busy week at #WADEM2023 with a ride through Killarney nat’l park. It has been a fantastic week, reconnecting with people and meeting new minds. 🌍
IS there a better way to triage? The verdict around the world is…🤷🏻♀️ but @JessWOsMD and I really enjoyed the interactions across the 🌍 at #WADEM2023 🇮🇪 sharing what we do at @EmoryEM and discussing this universally challenging topic! 🍀

APD is investigating an active shooter in the area of 1110 W Peachtree St NW. Please shelter in place, or stay out of the area.
#MichelleYeoh “For all the little boys and girls who look like me watching tonight, this is a beacon of hope and possibilities” 😭😭😭 ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, @AWAEM! In honor of #WomensHistoryMonth & 🌎 women’s day, I want to raise up the #WomeninEMS that have been mentors and friends. They have pushed me to shatter more glass (a mini 🧵):
@GradyMED1, medical director extraordinaire and Supermom, @natalie_zink who moved ⛰️ to support student @NAEMSP membership, @JessWOsMD, our talented and dedicated EMS fellow who will take the 🌎 by storm, Yuko Nakajima, MD @MSFJapan President…
I can continue naming so many more! Do you have @WomenInEMS that have inspired you, had your back and been in your corner? Let’s get them a shout out as well! 🙌
This is important information, worthy of academic papers. So not biased…but my sibling @irenatfh drives home the point of adding another factor driving outbreaks.

On a recorded call, a @UHC nurse and an insurance broker laugh while discussing a patient whose claim had just been rejected.
They agree that any appeal would be a waste of the family’s time and money:
“We’re still gonna say no.”

Bystander CPR can double or triple the survival rate from sudden cardiac arrest, but less than 1/3 of SCA patients receive CPR before first responders arrive. Thank you to @HamlinIsland & @American_Heart for spreading the word. abcn.ws/3jlmdeC #CPRwithHeart #HeartMonth
My parents are bilingual and don’t always live in the US. They’re curious about my specialty and about #GradyEMS. So…I got them “A Thousand Naked Strangers” by @goes_by_hazzard translated in Chinese! I can’t wait to see their reaction! 🚑😱😵💫🤣
And that’s a wrap for #NAEMSP2023!
It’s never enough time to catch up with old friends or to make new friends. Until the next time, and may the 🏴☠️ not keep us apart! See y’all in Austin! 🤠 @NAEMSP #EMSDocs
👏 🗣️ @NAEMT_, @acog & @NAEMSP for highlighting this topic:
1) Acknowledge: there is racial & regional disparity in maternal care outcomes
2) Act: #EMS 🚑 SHOULD engage in training for maternal health
2) Advocate (and validate) that we CAN improve women’s health!

.@LGlaucomflecken says that her husband, @DGlaucomflecken "only remembers going to bed one night & waking up in the ICU without underwear a few days later". Meanwhile, SHE is the one who truly experienced the #SuddenCardiacArrest. Families need strong support. #NAEMSP2023
