Hello measles, my old friend: The return of previously vanquished vaccine-preventable diseases A study published last week suggests that, if vaccine uptake continues to decline, measles will soon be endemic again in the US. It's just part of how RFK Jr. is making America sicker again.

Nice article about the medicalisation of dying

"Death is increasingly seen as a failure, rather than a natural stage of life"

Do ant toxicologists prescribe anty-dotes?

The December 2024 Research Roundup Another month, another set of articles. Perhaps some are useful. Perhaps some will guide your practice. At least one should completely blow your mind.

The December 2024 #FOAMed research roundup
This edition contains what I think might be the best article I have ever read: Did you know that ants are better doctors than we are??

Femoral Central Lines are awesome!
1) Infection rate equal to rate with IJ (subclavian are cleaner)
2) Easier to place in the awake patient

In fairness it was a very cheap airline! Crew insisted that I perform 5 minute obs… but didn’t offer even a cup of water!

Attended an in-flight emergency today… airline had exactly ZERO medications/ equipment or even PPE. the medical bag contained 10 amps of “ammonia” for uncertain purpose! Fascinating how an industry obsessed with safety does this! @kangaroobeach.bsky.social @first10em.bsky.social
