This + the market today? … is this the end?
After more than two dozen tornadoes and flooding rains pummeled the central U.S. on Wednesday night, the region was braced on Thursday for more days of significant rainfall that forecasters said would last through the weekend.
Storm Forecast: Heavy Rain Expected in Arkansas and Tennessee
Potentially “catastrophic” flash and river flooding is expected to continue as rain pummels the Central U.S. through Saturday, with the risk of more tornadoes.

The patient was in kidney failure and her immune system would reject a human organ. Scientists hope genetically modified pig organs prove safe and will alleviate the organ shortage and save lives.

This is nicely done

Time for another #POCUS pitfalls thread: the infamous IVC 🤩

I have MANY thoughts on the IVC 💭

When I first started teaching POCUS, I actually disliked the IVC because it was often poorly done or incorrectly interpreted ❌

I have now come to love the IVC, BUT you have to do it right!

#medsky #surgsky Have you ever had a patient forget to show up for surgery?
The hospital just sent me a reminder that I have back surgery next week. Is this something people forget? Like “oh yeah! I’m being fileted two
days before Christmas! I knew something was that week!”

Curious does this actually change management for anyone? - for a trauma surgeon I’m not sure it would but perhaps in HPB?
