Couldn’t be more proud of our two fellows who have made me laugh, smile, push me to be a better educator and physician. Can’t wait til you both take over the ultrasound world! @pocusfam @EMDocHilDav
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Best year of my life, hands down. Never enough thank yous for all you have taught me, both inside and outside the ultrasound world. I will sorely miss you @MedicalTechDoc, @CreaghB, and @EMDocHilDav. You are a better tweeter than me. 🥵

Hey #MedTwitter. Any book suggestions for a very early career medical educator. In particular books on medical education and teaching/learning theory. Thanks in advance! @STFM_FM @acgme @DrNwando

2021 was quite a year. Lots of studies. Lots of new evidence. Today I had the opportunity to share some practice changing articles with our residents - here is a quick summary. @OhioAFP @aafp @OhioStateFamMed @EEvidencePlus

1/ One of my new favorite #POCUS views is the Parasternal short axis (PSAX) view at the AV level. So much can be seen in this view. - AV valve - PV and pulmonary artery - TV @Scottiedoc1 @PratsEM @NephroP @OSUultrasound @POCUS_Society @CreaghB

2/ The classic PSAX view. LV in the far field and RV in the near field. Sweeping towards the nipple, shows progression from the MV level to the papillary level of the LV. View is good for: -Wall motion abnormalities -Detecting effusions -RV dilation Clip credit @thepocusatlas

Hey #MedStudentTwitter. Thinking about what specialty to go into. Give #FM a second thought. You get to do everything in FM. Today I 1)supervised a circumcision 2) rounded on adult inpatients, and 3) saw virtual clinic patients. @aafp @AAFP_FMIG @OhioAFP @OhioStateFamMed – at Columbus, OH

Hey #MedTwitter, when is the best time to teach on the inpatient service as an attending? It’s tough to fit in teaching when residents have so many tasks to complete. Love to hear attending and resident perspectives. @STFM_FM @aafp @OhioStateFamMed @cjchiu @buckeye_sanjay – at Columbus, OH

Ideally would be the combination of the above, but often time precludes this. – at Columbus, OH

1/ You never know what you'll find with #POCUS. Middle-aged man presenting with flank pain, with no hydro on RUS. An education aorta and IVC view was obtained, which ultimately led to this. @Scottiedoc1 @PratsEM @CreaghB @POCUS_Society

Love the idea of “dark beam sign”! @Scottiedoc1 – at Columbus, OH
We already have “light beam sign” in lungs. I hear by propose we rename this GB finding “dark beam sign” because it’s way cooler than the current sign name. Residents, what is the sign? @mount_md @Skins_MD @AafpMig @POCUSAcademy @POCUS_Society @Pocus101 #POCUS @MedicalTechDoc

Replying to @TheABFM
@TheABFM @aafp is this a “Demonstration of unethical, unprofessional, dishonest or immoral behavior” enough to have a “revocation of any Certificate issued by the American Board” theabfm.org/sites/default/fi… – at Columbus, OH

An important finding. Technology is helpful, but can often exacerbate existing disparities #digitaldivide @MarkRastetterMD @DrNwando @leroy_gary – at Columbus, OH

We finally have detailed data on vaccine efficacy. Important illustration showing efficacy increased over time (with antibody production) and why boosters are important @Dan_Krajcik @MarkRastetterMD @OhioStateFamMed – at Columbus, OH
I highly recommend these VRBPAC documents. There are so many amazing facts in here. One striking finding is this figure. People who received the Pfizer vaccine are protected from #COVID19 as early as 12-13 days post first dose (likely reflecting ⬆️ in antibody response)👇🏽(1/n)

Incredible. If only I was a fraction as productive as this legend. #Fauci – at Columbus, OH

When I got on the phone with Fauci, I asked him what schedule looked like that day. Here's his full answer. bit.ly/2VBI3uN
All I want for Christmas... is for you to mask up. – at Columbus, OH

So masks work? Yes, of course masks work. #WearAMask – at Columbus, OH
A new MMWR finds that after Kansas put in place a mask mandate in July 2020 rates of #COVID19 decreased in counties with a mask requirement & increased in counties without one. Wear a mask, stay 6 feet apart from others, & wash your hands often. More: bit.ly/MMWR112020b
