The ABS is eliminating ABSITE percentiles. Why? Percentile scores are unstable, misleading, and never meant to guide promotions or fellowship decisions. journals.lww.com/annalsofsur…

Heartbroken after seeing a young patient with no medical history, end up with a BIFFL GRADE II dissection of the vertebral artery and subsequent acute PICA infarct immediately after a neck adjustment from the chiropractor. This has to stop. Chiropractors - you HAVE to stop.

Great video and great resource for trainees and faculty alike
Direct gasless optical entry in Palmer’s point - one of the many ways to gain initial access in #MIS. What is your primary method and which area? What’s your back-up? @mj_pucci @OMGhanemMD @EricKnauerMD @AnkitPatelMD @HPB_Surgeon

800 police officers at the Chiefs parade 1,000,000 people at the Chiefs parade All 1,000,000 of those people were allowed to carry guns to the parade under Missouri’s weak gun laws But sure, tell me again how more guns equals more safety…

Can't intubate, can't ventilate - you've tried the bowling ball 🎳 technique, and an SGA won't seat (or their face is missing). You have to cric. Use the 4-step method the US military has perfected over the past 1.5 decades. 1. Knife 🔪 - 4+ cm incision of the neck (this is not the time to be dainty), 1cm incision of cric membrane 2. Finger - insert into new airway to hold position 3. Bougie - insert into trachea, will stop around 10cm 4. Tube - insert your tube over the bougie (Video from Rich Levitan -- FYI, I have no financial COIs other than DoD funding) youtu.be/xMFH8_nQZ50 #emergency #emergencymedicine #foam #foamed #foamcc #army #armymedicine #armyemdoc #tip #meded #trauma #icu #criticalcare #meded #airway #medic #combatmedic #military #navy #airforce #marines #prehospital #medx #medtwitter

Balanced resuscitation with whole blood versus component therapy in critically injured pre-adolescent children. This finding should encourage whole blood resuscitation when available over the use of component therapy. Read the new #ArticleofInterest here: buff.ly/3G39xkg

5 yrs ago today I had a moderate stroke from a vertebral artery tear caused by a chiropractic neck adjustment. After 6 days in hospital, I couldn’t drive for a month and needed a walker and cane. I’m grateful each day for my recovery. Don’t let anyone touch your neck friends. ❤️

John Stewart is a magician. Watch him lay out why republicans are hypocrites for limiting the constitutionally protected free speech of drag queens because the government has a responsibility to protect children, but refuse to do the same with firearms.

I feel like you have to announce yourself as an alpha male anywhere in your Twitter bio/handle... It immediately highlights how insecure you are about yourself

Today's Shock #ICUOnePager is about #vasopressors! This covers: What is the goal MAP? When to give "push dose pressors"? When is a central line required? What can you do when pressors aren't enough? (hydroxycobalamin, methylene blue, steroids, etc) onepagericu.com/vasopressors…
