Emergency medicine is a team sport. If you’re the morning doc, your job is to help the night doc get home; your job is NOT to repeatedly question and second guess the night doc’s decision making. – at Vancouver, British Columbia

New Trick of Trade: Recent chats on linear U/S probe in peripheral IV placement & tegaderm damaging probe. Slide probe into folded “cuff” of sterile glove. Flat edge and no wrinkles with probe cover. Bonus: Glove 🤚 fingers out of way. (Gel goes in first).

Interplay between H&P and #PoCUS Location of pain or auscultation findings guide where to put probe. More efficient. Important to the average community clinician

I'm so excited to share my #POCUS moment of the week: 45/F w/ HTN. p/w vague epigastric discomfort for 2 days. She described that as subacute onset burning sensation rising from epigastrium to the throat. No dyspnoea/diaphoresis. Had some residual pain after PPI so came to ED
