Emergency Fellow. Coffee-fuelled, Exams done. Ready to step up for another shift on the front line. Hard job, but bloody rewarding. Opinions my own.

You know you’ve adjusted to the pandemic when you try to eat lunch through your face mask.

Our computer on wheels were formerly known as cows. Intern was standing in front of elderly female patient and commented “this cow doesn’t work very well”. Computer on wheels now known as workstation on wheels. WOWS.

Anyone used optic nerve sheath diameter #POCUS during a pre hospital mission?. Did it change management? . @cliffreid @HawkmoonHEMS @eimsyeire.

Apparently intensive care has grown as a speciality over the past few decades! @PulmCrit #FOAMed

I give and receive handovers in the resus room. My practice is:. Any immediate needs? - if so, perform them immediately. If not, verbal handover on ambulance stretcher ONE time, then leave and clean equipment before returning to ask if any final questions. What's your practice?.

Emergency medicine is a BEDSIDE specialty. Anyone else worried it's becoming a computer-side specialty #emr #FOAMed.It's reducing junior doctors clinical exposure/experience.

That time the lateral neck XR was worthwhile. Patient thought her pills got stuck on the way down. Little did she know her pill box had a stow away sewing needle.

Posterior STEMI! I didn’t do the leads (I should have for twitter) We got the pt straight to the lab, where his 100% LCx (anomalous off RCA) was stented.

Took this dodgy photo of a good ECG where my iPhone shadow hides the diagnosis. What is it?
