I’m in the middle of a 2 Hour drive and I kind of got hooked on ⁦@thekillers⁩ I guess now I am officially a #victim. What should I listen to on the way back?

Excited to hear about the future of EM from ⁦@emresidents⁩ ⁦@EDPMA⁩ ⁦@ACOEP⁩ ⁦@EmergencyDocs⁩ Presidents. Lots of challenges but also a lot of optimism. We have to develop new models. Looking forward to taking back some of these ideas to improve EM

It’s so weird that masks are no longer required in the hospital for everyone. Not sure they do much but a strange sight that I was not sure I would ever see again.

If we are going to limit and regulate nursing salaries and doctor payments should we not also limit HealthPlan/insurance Co and health system/hospital administrative salaries and profits? Maybe healthcare should be a #publicutility

Studies Suggest Fish Oil Could Trigger A-Fib. Always learning something new. Being an excellent emergency physician requires more than just working clinically. We need time to attend medical conferences. ⁦@EmergencyDocs⁩ See you in Boston at #ACEP21

How many ⁦@EmergencyDocs⁩ got paycuts risking their lives while NFP HealthPlan ceos got 109% pay raises and not only hid but argued to cut and down code payments Check it out BCBS CEOs received bigger raises than execs at for-profit insurers

Help me with this one. If you test positive for COVID-19 and don’t quarantine and infect others there is no penalty but if you drive “intoxicated”you are incarcerated because you are a danger to the public. Does this make sense?.
