Been having a lot of thoughts as a doctor in the making about #COVID19 and structural inequality. It's a bit raw, but that's kind of how everything feels right now.

LOSER: Emergency Medicine programs. It’s been discussed all week, but this year, there were more unfilled EM spots than there have been in the previous 15 years combined. Only 82% of EM positions filled. That’s the lowest of all specialties except radiation oncology (81%).

I was an ICU intern and unfamiliar with bumex dosing and the attending was going a million miles a minute and said “order bumex it’s 40 times the dose” so I ordered 400 because I wanted 10 of lasix…

I’ve never seen restraints used in the U.K., which has shaped my Aus practice. When I know a patient is being brought into ED in restraints, their removal is my first priority. I meet the patient at the door and tell them that. #ICEM22
#ICEM22 Restraints are incredibly traumatic & triggering to patients & staff. Early recognition & treatment of agitation can prevent their need Debrief the patient & staff after Involve lived experience staff Connect with your patient. Explanation, explanation, explanation!
