How to piss off all your coworkers, NYer in California edition:

order five guys instead of In-n-Out and say,

β€œI don’t get the hype, 5 guys is way better”

Very entertaining

A junctional rhythm at a rate of 38 bpm is shown with pacing initiated. TCP begins with a black arrow at the center-top of the strip, annotated β€œPacing 1 Started.” Note the placement of the black triangles, indicating the demand pacer’s recognition of a QRS from the underlying bradycardic rhythm. A black circle highlights a phantom complex, where an arcing electrical artifact was mistaken by paramedics as electrical capture.

Going to provide a brief #MedSky overview of false electrical capture during transcutaneous pacing (TCP) by paramedics in prehospital 9-1-1 response.
