Let’s get 500 retweets on this as soon as possible to humiliate Donald Trump. The greatest political ad ever made.

ICU Pharmacology Secrets:
Some drug side effects, even if relatively rare, are well entrenched in our memory. For example, most intensivists & hospitalists are aware of cefepime-induced neurotoxicity or clindamycin’s association w C difficile infection (or even the seemingly

This isn't a "you may be disappointed in the outcome but the Court was just following the law" moment. Denying the original request to skip the Appeals Court was discretionary. Granting cert now is discretionary. The schedule of the argument is discretionary.
Delay is a choice.

The use of medical trainees to fill long hours is a historic vestige that, IMO, is out of step with the view of modern work (and, more importantly, education)
No one is learning that much medicine at hour 26. Or 24. Or 20. Or, frankly, 18.
They are just learning their place

Pulmonary embolism diagnosis is often missed because presentations are highly variable and may even be asymptomatic.
How is pulmonary embolism diagnosed, and why does early diagnosis matter? @bcmaughan @OHSU_CPREM @OHSUNews @JarmanAF @klinelab

Today in 1933, Adolph Hitler swore this oath as he as he became the German chancellor:
“I swear loyalty to the Constitution, obedience to the law, and conscientious fulfillment of the duties of my office, so help me God.”
Having run on an explicitly authoritarian platform, within a year, Hitler had completely neutralized the "coalition government," outlawed all parties aside from the Nazis, purged the civil services of Jews and political foes, cracked down on the free press, and sent thousands of political enemies to Dachau.
In Hitler's Germany, Germans took a very different kind of oath, one to Hitler, not the law.
“I swear I will be true and obedient to the Führer of the German Reich and people, Adolf Hitler, observe the law, and conscientiously fulfill the duties of my office, so help me God.
Over the next 10 months, we are going to walk you through Project 1933 so you can appreciate the weakness of legal protections in the face of people committed to violating it and understand how Project 1933 relates to the Republican Party's Project 2025.

NEW: The Biden campaign just released a gut-wrenching & personal new ad featuring a woman forced to flee Texas to receiver an abortion, saying it’s “because of Donald Trump.” THIS is why Gen Z & women will vote for Joe Biden. A very good & powerful ad. Please watch & & share👇

Your periodic reminder that less ice at the Arctic is consistent with a weaker jet stream that allows cold air to drift down into the Great Plains.
The frigid temps you're experiencing happen BECAUSE of a warming planet, not in spite of it.

A lot of great posters at #NAEMSP2024 but this one resonated.
Proof of the new mantra -resuscitate before you intubate.
Patients in hemorrhagic shock given blood + TXA + Ca before ETI don’t then need ETI (1.6% ETI vs 100%).
And for those who just get ETI, nearly 50% die.

Since 1989, and a new age of globalization began, 50 million jobs have been created in America.
48 million of those jobs, 96%, have been created under Democratic Presidents. 2 million, 4%, were created under Republicans. 5/

This is quite the awful thread. 🧵
At 3:45, as the transplant team was prepping the OR, a doctor came to Carole's room. She had terrible news. @Cigna, Carole's insurance company, had just denied her claim. They'd made a mistake, they said, in initially approving the procedure. They were now refusing to pay for it.
