As a final year resident my program director sat us down & threatened to put “not a team player” our files if we didn’t agree to be on call every third night for a year *without* compensation.

Everyone should know how to do CPR #DamarHamlin #Bills

Seeing how much the world accepts that it’s impossible to move on after watching CPR really makes me think about how we (medical professionals, especially those who work in Emergency departments) are expected to just move on immediately after a code.

Do NOT write COPD in that chart unless you’ve seen the PFTs with your own eyeballs.

Nice! Many people nailed it: - Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) - Crazy paving on CT - Involves surfactant protein accumulation, sometimes due to abnormal GM-CSF signaling - Treatments include whole lung lavage, nebulized GM-CSF More discussion here:

Why didn’t you get paxlovid? -No evidence of benefit for < 65 -Doesn’t reduce/shorten symptoms or transmissability -No evidence effects long COVID Just because you want or think you’re entitled to paxlovid doesn’t mean you should get it

OPINION: "BA.5 just wiped me out for 12 days. Why did doctors let me get sick instead of giving me Paxlovid when I asked for it?" writes @MatteFleischer, The Chronicle's editorial page editor. Read more: trib.al/RITKxNV 📸: @BronteWittpenn

Wow this Manti T'eo documentary... I'm speechless. If you haven't watched it yet, go change that asap. The media owes this man an apology. Netflix did an amazing job getting his story out. #UntoldNetflix

"Hey what’s this funny donut 🍩 stuck on the crash cart?" It's a 🧲 magnet! We keep it there because it can be life-saving if applied over a pacemaker or ICD. A 🧵about magnets, pacemakers & ICDs. Some useful facts that everyone in an ICU ought to know. #FOAMcc #FOAMed 1/
