Like they said…
It's time once again to remind everyone that emergency department (ED) crowding is not due to low acuity visits. ED crowding is due to hospital crowding and the inability to move admitted patients to the floors. Emergency Physicians can handle busy. It's crowding that kills.

Thanks to @PeterJohns84 for a wonderful Grand Rounds this morning at our annual JGH Day; a 3.5 hour bootcamp all about vertigo. Residents & staff came out invigorated and with a new desire to confidently assess the dizzy patient! @mcgill_emerg

This has practical implications for those like us who suffer ongoing staffing shortages.
Recently 5 of my colleagues in a 10d period had to take off work b/o #covid19 infection. We have debated when they can safely return to work w/o being a risk to others esp as most suffer only mild illnesses. Immunity and infectivity in covid-19 | The BMJ

The link from @IDSAInfo is a terrific resource for doctors, and other healthcare professionals to use when considering prescribing Paxlovid, including how to manage the dosing. Highly recommend https://t.co/ji3iCvL0o3 2/
