Handcuffs and Unexpected Deaths — “I Can’t Breathe” as a Medical Emergency | NEJM
Cases in which someone in apparently good health is physically restrained by police
and has a cardiac arrest represent a failure of the medical profession — not just
of law enforcement.

Vaccine preventable diseases literally KILL CHILDREN, there is NO EVIDENCE they cause autism & the fact that we’re even having this conversation in 2025 would be a FUCKING JOKE if it didn’t mean that kids who can’t help the fact that their parents are making BAD DECISIONS are ACTUALLY GOING TO DIE.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism - there is extensive research showing this. Resurrecting old, discredited, fraudulent work is shameful.
Vaccine-preventable illnesses are serious - this is going to cause real harms.
This is dangerous & disappointing.

IMHO the best strategy for occasional intubators (e.g., pulm/crit) is:
-Preox with BiPAP (PREOXY trial)
-Paralyze with roc/ketamine
-Intubate with hyperangulated VL + rigid stylet
This has a very sharp learning curve
Fellows can do this ~50 times and provide reproducibly safe intubations #EMIMCC
-Preox with BiPAP (PREOXY trial)
-Paralyze with roc/ketamine

The reality is that at least 170 citizens have been held by immigration agents, including two kids with cancer.

"There's a case to be made that Al isn't just a bubble, or even a huge bubble, but something like the platonic ideal of a tech bubble."
There's been endless talk about an AI bubble, but less about exactly how, why, and how much it's a bubble. So I turned to the framework put forward by scholars Brent Goldfarb and David A. Kirsch, authors of "Bubbles and Crashes," for assessing tech bubbles.
Spoiler: On a scale of 1 to 8, AI is an 8
