I’m so deeply disgusted by this man.
An unvaccinated child in west Texas has died of measles – the first death in ten years.

RFK Jr.'s response? “It’s not unusual,” he said of the contagion when pressed by reporters. “We have measles outbreaks every year.”

Well, this will be something. I’m expecting the ED to be directly affected by this, depending on how things evolve.

This would have come in handy for a presentation I did just last week on the use of Bicarb in the ED.
You've probably heard that Bicarbonate has to turn into CO2 to raise the pH.

“Don’t give bicarb if you can’t increase ventilation.” But why?!

How much CO2 is there in an amp of sodium bicarbonate? Hos much does it raise pH? And how long does it last?
