Our clinical schedules don’t always overlap, but sometimes we get lucky and all work together in the department!
*cue last Saturday* 📸
We work shifts at both @TJUHospital’s main campus (Center City) and Methodist (South Philly) 🏥

Our world is so broken. My heart aches for the lives lost. #GeorgeFloyd #AhmaudArbery (and so many more)
Nothing will change until we step out of our echo chambers and listen to those who look different than us. We all (myself included) have so much to learn. Don’t be passive.

Congratulations to our 159 graduates of the @UofCincy College of Medicine, including Dr Casey Morrone! @caseymorrone @WakeHealth @WakeEMresidency med.uc.edu/ceremonies/honors…
This is brilliant. A quick workout that specifically targets the muscle groups used most by frontline providers. I’m excited to start incorporating these into my normal routine!
An exercise regimen for frontline providers that requires little space, little time, and can help keep us healthy and prevent workplace injury. Thanks to @properpolymath, @tomasrdiaz @ContessaGayles, and @Ronson911.

Not super profound, but always remember that part of preparing for a procedure is positioning—not just your pt, but also yourself. I tend to forget to raise the bed, find a good seated position, etc but everything becomes easier when I take the time to think about it. #CincyAI
Metallic foreign body embedded in the cornea? You may need to remove it with a needle if rolling a q-tip over it doesn’t do the trick. Approach tangentially and bevel up from the temporal side, and use a flicking motion to dislodge. #CincyAI aliem.com/2010/03/great-teac…
Even when your hypoglycemic alcoholic patient has known diabetes, don’t forget to give thiamine prior to correcting their glucose with D50! Nobody wants Wernicke’s encephalopathy. #CincyAI
Trying to determine pericardial vs. pleural effusion on US? It’s all about where the fluid collection is in relation to the thoracic aorta on your parasternal long axis view. Pericardial will be superficial to it, and pleural will be deep. #CincyAI #PattiesPearls

There are plenty of different methods for correcting hyperkalemia (insulin, albuterol, lasix, kayexalate, dialysis, etc) but your first step in hyperK emergency should always be to protect the heart with calcium. Use the algorithm below to help you choose your meds! #CincyAI
Distinguishing ST elevation from J point elevation (b and c below) can be tricky. Pay attention to the initial curve of the T wave—convex in ST elevation and concave in J point elevation. The best clue? A prior ECG! #CincyAI
If your patient has a hand infection, one dispo option is observation for IV antibiotics. In that case, it may be helpful to trend ESR/CRP to help gauge their response and help you with your next dispo decision. #CincyAI
Did you know that lung ultrasound is significantly more sensitive than CXR for diagnosing pneumonia (81% vs 64%)? Watch this video for more info on how to perform and what you’re looking for. 5minsono.com/pna/ [Am J Emerg Med 2015 May; 33:620.] #CincyAI
