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.
I don’t think the left fully grasps how much they are radicalizing people when a marine who saved a bunch of people on the subway from a violent person with mental illness yelling β€œsomeone is going to die today” is demonized. Daniel Penny did nothing wrong, you lunatics.

#POCUS reminder of the day: This finding alone doesn’t distinguish between hypovolemia and euvolemia, nor is an indication for intravenous fluid administration. (or hypovolemic vs euvolemic #hyponatremia) #Nephpearls #FOAMed

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

I bet you had no idea that the modern emergency medical system and the first EMT’s were pioneering Black men from Pittsburgh who saved lives in more ways than one. This is the story of Freedom House. link.chtbl.com/obvkRMCh?sid=…
