This is more important than any other news. Millions rely on St. Micheal’s ER when on death’s doorstep. A problem at St. Mike’s is a problem for all of us. There is no rational world where ER doc hours in Ontario should be reduced. Make Dr Petrosoniak’s concerns go viral.
On the backdrop of increasing ED wait times we have completely inept decisions by MOH @fordnation & @SylviaJonesMPP cutting MD hrs at St. Michael's Hospital @UnityHealthTO & other hospitals
Let's dig in 🧵

What happens when there is disagreement between an MD and a patient or substitute-decision maker (SDM) about code status? Is it ethical (or legal) for a physician to unilaterally make a patient “DNR”?
Check out this short thread 🧵 and our new publication in @CJA_Journal below

Hey @oliviachow and @cityoftoronto it's time to open up additional warming centres.
It's -18 with windchill. All warming centres are full.
The only option we have is to discharge patients without a place to go to the street. That's not ok.
This is inhumane.
Do better.

I love ED peer-to-peer!
Helpful chats with @petrosoniak and Eric Letovsky this weekend. Such a great service for rural and remote docs in Ontario.

For most people who die from trauma incidents, like car accidents or gunshot wounds, death occurs before they make it to the hospital. That fact led a team of St. Michael’s physicians & scientists to ask: what if we brought aspects of the hospital to them?bit.ly/45T9IKV

my pet peeve: someone dies of unclear causes, gets ROSC, rushed to CT, only gets a head CT🤬
STAT head CT is insensitive for anoxic injury & low yield overall. often the LEAST important scan
if you're road tripping a post-arrest pt to the scanner please get the whole thing 🙏🙏

You've probably heard that Bicarbonate has to turn into CO2 to raise the pH. “Don’t give bicarb if you can’t increase ventilation.”
But how much CO2 is there in an amp of sodium bicarbonate?
A bicarb 🧵

Dr Anton Helman @EMCases opening #EMUpdate2023 with a wonderfully warm tribute to the late Dr Paul Hannam, our chief who is missed every single day. @NYGH_News
One of my incredible co-residents wrote this piece- it is beautiful and heartbreaking and resonated deeply with me. It is a privilege to train with such talented physicians.
