CT scans in complex, undifferentiated critically ill patients save lives. we don’t have a mega-RCT to show this (analagous to CT screening for lung cancer) but it’s still true 😛 – at Burlington, VT
ICU pictorials: A patient was admitted for "weakness". Unimpressive vitals / phys exam / labs. A few days later because of temp 101 F, a fever w/u was initiated. Due to "SOB", a CT chest angio was done:

100% agree, no need for platelet transfusions My takeaway from this paper: avoid the subclavian site when platelets are <30
platelet transfusion before CVC? significant bleeds occur in 2 ways: 😫arterial laceration 😫hemothorax (pleurovenous fistula) in coagulopathy, avoid bleeding by: 👍avoid artery w US guidance 👍avoid subclavian site if able no need for platelets (1/2) nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…

Please order the CT with IV contrast. The kidneys will be fine. It's whatever diagnosis we are missing with the non-contrast CT that will damage the kidneys.

I’m an emergency medicine doctor. When you come to my ER, I will take care of you even if your beliefs are different than mine. My job is to take care of patients. If you would deny a patient care because they have different beliefs than you, then you should not be in medicine

Diuresis MUST continue until volume overload resolves, NOT until Creatinine increases Routinely, diuresis MUST continue DESPITE Creatinine increase #Medtwitter #kidney #meded #FOAMed #heartfailure #pulmonary #critcalcare #anesthesia PRTIYL @DrHilaryShapiro

Nurses save lives. I see this all the time in the ICU. It's a curious thing - both obvious, yet also frequently overlooked. 🙏Thank you for everything that you do. #NursesWeek

Thank you Fox News for bringing this to my attention. I love the idea of small businesses exercising their right to refuse service to fascist parties. Let's keep this trend going. flwrshop.com

I have posted this before but .. 26 years ago, a gunman entered Dunblane Primary School in Scotland, killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK govt responded by enacting tight gun control legislation. In the 9400+ days since, there have been a total of O school shootings in the UK.

My preschool-aged nephews aren’t old enough to vote, but they’re old enough to be killed by a gunman at school. They’re not given a choice, but we are. Enough is enough.

82% of trans kids consider suicide. 40% attempt it. Why can’t we just let people live their lives in whichever manner they see fit? They are harming no one.
