Proud to have helped eliminate "excited delirium" in EM.
Aiming to correctly use the subjunctive in Spanish more often.
And I am never, ever sick at sea.

Our rural hospital farmed hospice capabilities out to a private equity facility this past year for cost savings and we literally have been over capacity hospital wise since Christmas because we don’t have enough outpatient hospice nurses for our current hospice patients since the switch

This is pure, unabashed bigotry.
If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party.
But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence.
A stain on our Congress.

Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.
3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.
4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.
It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.
Story to come.

It's so bizarre how the antivaxxers spout all these statistics about deaths from vaccines, and in 20 years I've never even had a patient go to the ER because of one. And believe me, they would tell me.

Sometimes, we can't save a dying child and I accept that.
But sometimes during a code where I believe the event is survivable, I think to myself "If I can't rescue this kid, I have to quit my job"
anyway, it has made me extremely normal

Renee Good wasn’t dead the moment she was shot, and they still denied her medical assistance. As I said in my video at the time, they could not have known whether there was an opportunity to save her bc they didn’t let anyone assess her. There has to be some consequence for denying her that chance!

Ellison: "This was a family taking their kids from an athletic event and they ended up getting caught in the middle of the ICE behavior & protesters, & then, inexplicably, they shot tear gas too close to the car & that caused the infant to have some respiratory problems. CPR had to be administered."
