So relieved to have stepped off the other platform.

It *was* a wonderful space & a HUGE asset to me starting out in #CriticalCare/ #ICU

I hope I can find and add to that community here 🦋

Please say hi 👋

Q: The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists put out a statement saying 'acetaminophen remains a safe option for pain relief during pregnancy.' That's at odds with you

TRUMP: That's the establishment. They're funded by lots of different groups. And you know what? Maybe they're right.

Can't help but notice the more understated approach to memorialising kids slain at school over the years.

To be clear:
Every death to gun violence an absolute tragedy.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

257. The Commission recommends that all Member States:
(a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip;
(b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide;
(c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law;
(d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide;
(e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court:
(a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants;
(b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.

Terrifying for families.
Horrifying to patients afterwards.

See a lot of feelings of guilt and shame about delirium-driven agitation at our post-ICU clinic.

A not-so-gentle reminder of why I'm not going back to Tw*tter.

For f*cks sake.

Perhaps another time.
Wishing you well.

I think they say what we all know, and what's reported on, but confronts us with it in a way that just can't be denied; highlights the impossibly of the situation for the Gazans and delivers that reality straight to us in all it's grotesque absurdity.

“Nobody used the word delirium. I thought I’d lost my mind.”

— Delirium survivor

➡️ Always provide clear information, including telling the patient they have delirium, during the episode. Then explain & de-brief afterwards.

#ChatGPT just created a full personality profile for me based on all our chats.

V interesting!

Absolutely. One of the highlights of my parenting journey so far!
I'd never read the books, nor watched the movies, which made it all the more special 💫
