I'm not going to claim any special ability, but I moved to Boston, DC, and then Durham right before their baseball teams won championships. I just moved to Madison, WI, so make your bets accordingly.

I'm not sure the breathalyzer is accurate at those levels though. It's probably still pretty high but unless they are doing POC blood draws I wouldn't take it to the bank.

This is also a thing I did

Wondering if any space reporter on this app can get a comment from NASA about whether the newly hired ASCANs are going to be RIFed?

Are Brain Wearables the Future of Fitness Tracking?

Glasses, helmets, what have you—the next wave of wearable devices are targeting the brain. Whether you find it tempting or terrifying, the real question: Is this technology even real?

do you bring gum in case there is an extended code?

It's really stupid that I can get the flu shot at work while working (I work in an ER) and the COVID shot requires a separate visit to an office.

Good luck!

Usually those kind of things occur when a board question writer was also on whatever panel made up the policy

Which half?

Short response: no

Although ML has been shown to outperform surrogate decision-makers in predicting patient preferences for CPR, the authors of a new editorial argue that ML cannot replace surrogates in making decisions for incapacitated patients. nejm.ai/3Vysymr

Our greatest concern as clinicians is that the data presented in this article will be interpreted by the media and other readers as evidence that ML can replace surrogates in end-of-life decision-making.

I need The Pitt to also do a space episode with no context or explanation.

So the Braves can be OTP but the good food can't?

I end most of my ED encounters with "it was nice to meet you but I'm sorry I had to."

Before I read any reactions, the article itself seems balanced and compassionate to the family if framed as if sepsis is the identified culprit even though it states it isn't.

The butt fumble to being stabbed by an elder pipeline is neither short nor direct, but it is there.

This is a learned skill, and not intuitive to those going through the transition. I had to take a step back early on in my graduation to supervising physician (i.e. an attending) and realize I'm not really as funny as I think I am, these trainees and others feel obligated to laugh at my jokes.

when you become a boss you lose the right to chop it up with the employees in the break room. you gave that up in exchange for power. if you want a business AND the camaraderie, start a co-op

I'll rephrase based on a decade of working in the field, it's natural to think everyone should get medical care, but it's also natural to feel that my injured arm is more important than a stranger's chest pain. It's why we don't let people triage themselves and why EMTALA is helpful for everyone.

Dan Buckland @danbuckland.me · 10d

It's not a natural inclination, which is why I'm glad EMTALA exists.

I've worked in Emergency Medicine for a decade now. Waits have not and are not due to undocumented patients.

As someone who has seen these from the inside, the amount of money and time that goes into NOT spending non-essential dollars is enragingly high.
It's pure waste in the service of compliance with political goals.

Id like to say to all my Fed friends, even if it's not reflected in your designation you're all essential to me.

Service journalism. This was actually a concern when I did medical drone research in North Carolina and was considered when we did flight planning.

Can you shoot down a drone hovering over your home in Wisconsin? Here's what the law says.

Drones have become an increasingly common sight in Wisconsin skies, and with them comes a long list of federal rules for users to follow.

The cognitive dissonance I'm holding between this fact and wondering if my meetings for the upcoming week are arranged correctly is something I'm sure I will never be able to explain to future generations.

Sure seems like the president just instructed the military to use lethal force against US citizens.
