How to cancel the 19th amendment the easy way: I learned yesterday that the GOP is trying to create law that allows you to vote only if your legal name matches your birth certificate name. This means millions of married women will have their voting rights suppressed.

An honour to speak at #SWAAC #ELSO #AbuDhabi on when to put an infant on #ECMO.
Neuro injury concerns delay ECMO initiation and then deterioration leads to loss of cerebral autoregulation.
Use ECMO to support the patient and not as a rescue therapy when 👶 post-arrest or in multi-organ-failure.
