A Cat-5 hurricane has devastated Jamaica.
USAID, with over 6 decades of disaster response expertise, no longer exists. The State Department can't fill this gap.
Dismantling federal agencies has real consequences.

How will the dismantling of USAID affect U.S. relief efforts in Jamaica?
USAID was the lead American agency in disaster response. Now that it's been dismantled, questions are arising about how effective U.S. relief efforts will be in Jamaica after the hurricane.

Finally time for a dip in Chicago River.
300 swimmers looped through downtown Chicago this month in the first official river swim since 1927, a milestone made possible by decades of cleanup, which has also lured back fish, beavers, and a giant snapping turtle.

In case you’re wondering why ACEP is (sort of) singling out Dr. Houry, it’s because she is an emergency medicine physician who (I believe) still takes shifts at Emory Hospital, in addition to her work in CDC leadership.
She genuinely works on the front lines of public health.

I have not seen my classmate since 2018 but she reaches out when she has a major case or research to present or life update. I’m so proud of her major career milestone presenting now as an expert in her specialty.

Just finished 2.5 hrs of chatting and reviewing with my medschool classmate on her slides for her infectious ds peers. More than 15 yrs since we met, we’re in different specialties and countries now but we still talk like the hopeful 1st yr students refining our research paper

Incivility contaminates the OR just as much as a break in the sterile field.
When it happens:
➡️The target is rattled.
➡️The witnesses feel it too.
➡️Focus narrows → core tasks can get missed.

The UpToDate flow chart about types of hyponatremia was literally the last straw on me deciding not to go into IM.
I know enough for EM! Order urine lytes and call to admit before they result and I might have to interpret them. 😅

Once when I was the medicine consult resident overnight I got a page from an OB resident who “just wanted to discuss hyponatremia.” It still makes me happy just thinking about it.
