*Wild* levels of circular firing squad here. Do you want trans children to be recognized, to have rights, to have health care? If yes, you agree with Schumer. We’re not in a position to purity test every ally. Plz stahp.

Kind of like one of those native land acknowledgments folks used to do at the beginning of things.

Not enforcing the existing laws- certainly tracks with my experience working in a safety-net hospital. Definitley true that HCWs are at super-high risk of workplace violence, I just haven’t seen evidence showing that incarceration helps. California just passed bill 977, so we can see what happens!

Agree with the first bit, 100%. The second bit- idk. Many of the patients swinging at HCWs aren’t legal scholars. Might imprison a bunch of mentally ill poor people by accident. I wonder if mandating better staffing ratios might help as much as criminalizing patients. www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....
Workplace Violence against Health Care Workers in the United States | NEJM
Violence against health care professionals in the workplace is underreported and understudied. Additional data are needed to understand steps that might be taken to reduce the risk.

Imagine being this devoted to contrarianism. He’s this close to expressing sanguine skepticism about sky color or water humidity. Is he here yet btw?

Anyway- lots of thoughts obviously. Check out our Core Ultrasound interview for cool new data on VExUS/new Doppler techniques.

Our group does research on the technique, and we were pleasantly surprised to find out it holds up in TR patients (paper coming soon!). Still big ? about cirrhosis, positive pressure ventilation, CKD/ESRD. And then there’s the issue that it was only really built to predict cardio renal aki.

Important to remember the population in which #VExUS was derived though, before we go applying it all over the place.
