Yesterday, as the senior resident in our Trauma & Critical Care pod of our ED & at the head of the bed, I had the opportunity to utilize TEE to access the quality of chest compressions during a cardiac arrest. This clip shows ROSC being obtained during a pulse checks. @WUSTL_EM

Daniel choked that man for 6 full minutes. He had already shit himself. Most untrained people pass out in ~45 seconds.
For people that don't do martial arts, this is the "I shot him 20 times in the head because I was afraid for my life" type of response.

Avoid reflex clinical decisions based on isolated #POCUS findings.

#POCUS reminder of the day: This finding alone doesnβt distinguish between hypovolemia and euvolemia, nor is an indication for intravenous fluid administration.
(or hypovolemic vs euvolemic #hyponatremia)

In the end, it is *your* job to turn yourself into a competent physician. It is not anyone elseβs job.
The patients are under no obligation to be forgiving if you canβt or wonβt do this.
Those working in teaching hospitals should be there to help the trainees who want the help.

Kirk Franklin, on his last IG post, just said in so many words βI pray that your harvest in 2024 matches the seeds you sowed in 2023β
& an amen goes there. I receive that!

Black male physicians in 1940: 2.7%
Black male physicians in 2018: 2.6%
So this MD is more than just lettersπ. Shout out to the many amazing black male doctors/friends that are changing the face of medicine.

I bet you had no idea that the modern emergency medical system and the first EMTβs were pioneering Black men from Pittsburgh who saved lives in more ways than one.
