I’ve spent the years as a Clerkship Director writing SLOEs (the letters that make or break EM residency apps).
So trust me when I say: the “little things” matter more than you think.
Here’s what every med student should do on their EM rotation to stand out 🧵
Riveting alternative treatment to acute delirium when attributed to anticholinergic toxicity—> Rivastigmine

Another fantastic grand rounds! Thank you @peterjohns84 for taking the time to lecture on the diagnosis & stratification of “dizziness” & vertigo in the ED. We have become more confident in our HINTS assessment, BPPV treatment, & use of brain CTs because of it
Dr. Johns is a specialist on this matter, contributing to numerous papers, even writing for Tintinalli's! Be sure to check him out on YouTube 👇🏼

no such thing as a “max” dose of pressors
no such thing as a “minimum” platelet threshold needed before placing a central line (if one is emergently needed)
it’s fascinating how medicine creates so many bogus concepts
