Take him to the zoo!!!

Tampa Bay is now becoming what Chicago, LA, and Pittsburgh previously were after winning their multiple cups. Winning comes at a (well worth it) cost in the future. Time for Tampa Bay to pay the piper. @FutaMichael @Mattymar89 @FriedgeHNIC

They beat the @NHLBlackhawks?
The Sarnia Legionnaires have won their first game in SIXTY-SEVEN games!

The #blackhawks should have their dads drive them home after that performance.

Falconry. If the wife doesn’t allow, I’m getting a large fish tank.
If you're a millennial (born 1981 to 1996), it's about time you begin to choose or think about what's going to define your mid life crisis. Here are your options:

Clearly the @BlueJacketsNHL didn’t take my wife’s favorite players into account when they just traded them. Now I’m not gonna be allowed to get season tickets this year.

I missed hearing @FriedgeHNIC’s “I’ll say this” all summer.

Apparently, even the snails in Columbus needed a smoke after that game. #OhioState

I can promise that never happens in the pediatric ICU.
It always makes me chuckle when you go to an off service rotation and the nurses are like *thank goodness* an EM resident is here

Do people regret leaving bigger academic medicine for smaller groups? 🤔

We need to stop publishing things just to say that we have publications. Your research should actually have to mean something clinically in order to be promoted.
A new Clinical Practice article summarizes the classification, evaluation, risk stratification, and management of syncope. History, examination, electrocardiography, and orthostatic blood-pressure measurement identify the cause in most patients. Read “Syncope” by Rose Anne Kenny, MD, DSc: nej.md/4cjFuVU Ask AI Companion to provide a summary of this article for your patient. In Spanish.

As someone who has experienced both several times, Adenosine is not as bad as an ICD shock. Is Adenosine extremely uncomfortable for a few seconds? Yes. But I would say those few seconds are better than staying in SVT. Perhaps, shared decision making with patients is best.
I don’t love this. Adenosine is terrible. Patients hate it. You don’t need to torture pts. Giving 6 mg is akin to shocking w anything less than max. If stable, a more elegant kinder way to stop SVT is to reassure pt, quiet room, less hoopla, IV beta blocker, wait, then try valsalva, w postural maneuver if necessary, Valsalva does not work when adrenaline is 100x Consider adenosine use a failure of kind smart doctoring
