I worked Christmas with my chosen family, as I usually do. This year's highlight was a purple/echo call for a cardiac arrest who had been on a bench 3 days. (Its been -15C overnight most of the week)

It was a bronze statue.

My 5yo daughter, hopping out of the booth at Chick-fil-A: “Let me out. I have BOYS to fight with” and runs to the playground

As the door to the playground opens, I can hear a boy saying “I don’t want to FIGHT you!!”

Parents remember your words.
Not your intubation, line placement or bed management skills.

Choose them wisely

Some of us never stopped wearing them. I hate being sick. A mask is so EASY.
A Call to Action!

Do No Harm BC is renewing our call to restore masks in healthcare!

Ontario, Newfoundland, and Labrador have already restored masks in healthcare. At the same time we are seeing increasing cases of measles, walking pneumonia and the potential threat of H5N1.

If you are a doctor working for an insurance company denying AIR AMBULANCE transfers let me be the first to give a hearty FUCK YOU
To everyone in a similar scenario: the tactic my doctor's office has taught me is to ask, in writing, for:
1) the name, board specialty, and license number of the doctor making the determination the treatment was not medically necessary;

Cyber bullying works sometimes
This is just in Connecticut, but it's a start: "Comptroller Sean Scanlon said that following conversations with Anthem, the provider for the state employee health plan and many others throughout Connecticut, Anthem will no longer be implementing the policy to limit coverage of anesthesiology."

I feel like I shouldn't have to keep saying this, but it astonishes me that it keeps happening:

If your patient has a very obvious, painful, traumatic injury, give them analgesia. Give them proper doses & give it early.

Yes, even if they aren't screaming.

Don't let people suffer quietly.
