Happy #EmergencyMedicineDay

On my way to #Montreal for #ICEM25 #ICEM2025 (in collaboration with #CAEP)

The program looks fantastic - www.xcdsystem.com/caep/program...

I'll be speaking on Sunday and Monday on the topics below - looking forward to meeting you there!

What a terrible loss

Healthcare workers face innumerable episodes of violence - there is a need for vigilance but more importantly leadership and government must take steps to prosecute these offenders appropriately rather that just saying “it’s part of the job”

Thanks to @emcases.bsky.social for the invitation to speak about whole blood (with @petrosoniak.bsky.social) on the EM Cases Quickhits podcast!

Hope to see you all at #ICEM25 in #Montreal soon!

Loss of a legend.

Glad I got to see him live last year

It was an honor to be able to join a great group of speakers on the stage, and to meet old friends and colleagues as well as new ones.

Thanks to Prof Lockey for the invite!

Last year, my health insurance company stopped paying for my Humira. Humira is a type of immunosuppressive drug called a biologic, and I take a pretty high dose of it to control my severe Crohn's Disease. Without it, I will have a bowel obstruction, and then I will die.

Violence is never the answer

The sheer lack of empathy and simple logic that US health insurance companies show which results in unmeasurable public suffering (and death) needs to be highlighted and addressed though.

Nine podcasts recorded so far with @docib.bsky.social for @stemlyns.bsky.social at #LTC2024 - they won’t be released for a bit so if you find waiting tricky, try this one from Tactical Trauma on ECMO in Trauma www.stemlynsblog.org/podcast-ecmo...

(Photo credit: @resusone.bsky.social - thank you!)

Agree - nice for senior clinicians to model that it's ok to talk about these issues by sharing their personal experiences.

Every year, improperly stored firearms contribute to tragic incidents, including unintentional shootings and firearm-related suicides.

Storing firearms unloaded, locked, and separate from ammunition —saves lives.

When writing a systems-based problem list on the ICU, PE is primarily a cardiovascular problem, not a primary respiratory problem.

Israel hat, wie jedes andere Land, rechte, gewaltbereite Hooligans. Dass sie gestern in Amsterdam massenhaft rassistisch und gewalttätig agierten, rechtfertigt natürlich keine Gewalt gegen israelische Fans. Doch diesen Kontext zu verschweigen, zeugt von Realitätsverweigerung. Siehe Bild.
