Maybe it’s because of my cardiac arrest, but I don’t understand why patients get upset when I say their symptoms are due to aging. 95% of what I diagnose is because we get old. I always bring it up as delicately as possible, but like do you know how lucky you are? I see patients in their 80s and think, “man I hope I get there one day.” So many things in this world can kill you. You’ve beaten the odds. Honestly, congratulations, you’re old.

I’m going to post this every time I see an accidental childhood death:
If everyone is watching, no one is watching.
Assign a watcher. Make it one person’s responsibility. Make it their responsibility to hand off that responsibility. Always.

From our PHARM-CRIT data: when critical care pharmacists cover 1️⃣ service compared to ≥2️⃣ services or decentralized coverage ➡️ more attempted and accepted interventions
📣Increasing workload beyond one service decreases accepted interventions
@JACCPJournal @accpcritprn – at Chicago, IL
🚨PHARM-CRIT-SERVICE study
🔍 218 ICU PharmDs in 85 🇺🇸🏥
1️⃣ ICU pharmacists covering 1 service had ⬆️ interventions attempted & accepted than 2+ services or none
2️⃣ Higher patient-to-pharmacist ratios = lower intervention acceptance #TwitteRx

Why is no one talking about this 🤯🤯. ANNEXA-S trial looking at use of andexanet alfa for pts on FXai prior to urgent surgery was silently stopped per manufacturer "due to the limited value as a single-arm study". Meanwhile with an n=10, we see 70% serious ADEs 👀👀

Just a friendly periodic reminder that what has become routine to you, may be one of the scariest times in your patient’s life.
My pharmacist heart hates this syringe so much..
My two month old got his vaccines today and we were given a dosing chart for Tylenol. His dose = 2 mL..
I don’t expect anyone to be able to *accurately* pull up that dose using this syringe..

As a preceptor now, I think about how I used to feel bad for my abusive preceptors and justify what they did to me with “maybe they’re just having a hard day, or hard time”
Even on my absolute worst days.. I could never imagine saying the things some of my preceptors said to me
Wish you could review available dates at testing locations for board exam scheduling prior to paying $600 and submitting your application.. I want to take BCEMP right away but if only the beginning of the testing window is available, that leaves only 3 weeks to study 🙃 @BPSweb
