statnews.com/2025/08/07/slo… <-- ironically enough the article isn't written by a medical doctor, but they make a valid point. Many of my sick oncology ED patients have never had an honest 'goals of care' discussion, despite being at the world's center of oncology excellence 🫣

Sometimes we call it burnout, but really it's a matter of shedding bad habits & building on new effective ones. Don't quit your job, quit bad habits. Acute Care Medicine: Applying Covey's 7 Habits of effectiveness podbean.com/eas/pb-69p9w-1…

100% agreed Dr. Venugopal! Be able to follow up on your patients is not only a valuable feedback and a learning opportunity but also good for continuity of care if gaps are identified.
Raghu Venugopal MD@raghu_venugopal

It's short-sighted @CMPAmembers feels ER MDs understanding what disease affected the patient, to improve practise, and for no personal gain is the target for privacy police. Sounds like non-clinicians wrote this, free of the duty to care for people. cmpa-acpm.ca/en/advice-publ…

Politics poisoning academia in the worst possible way... Even worse possibly exposing their biases. 😤

The ED population is sick and unfortunately not as optimized as the OR cases, if anything it's a miracle sometimes we even get the airway - which 4 Anesthesiologists would be hovering over in the OR, after pre-op clinic, medicine consult, and fully fasted belly.
Simon Carley@EMManchester

JC: Is ED intubation really associated with a higher mortality as compared to OR intubation? ED intubation for patients needing urgent haemorrhage control surgery is linked to higher mortality and complications, but - #confounders! #FOAMed @stemlyns stemlynsblog.org/jc-risky-intub…

I love the optimism in this - I think within 5 years the tech will be there (if it’s not already!) but getting risk averse institutions (and clinicians/patients) to accept this new reality may take more than 5 years… but here’s hoping! @DocMaximum @eUSMD @karimjessa @DrDevSK
Craig Joseph, MD@CraigJoseph

I'm convinced that five years from now, the concept of a #VirtualScribe will be so entrenched in most ambulatory (and some ED) workflows that we'll wonder how we ever did without it. Is someone gonna put a reminder on their calendar to hold me to account? buff.ly/3Kna0QD

Started again...entire healthcare system is signing out to the ER for the holidays. Patients calling GPs office being told no appointments available for their non-urgent problem, go to ER. No added support for the ER to meet the demand. ER not able to be on-call for everything

Warning ⚠️ EDI can be bad for your health! In this internal document from the @Royal_College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, there is a proposal from the EDI group to prioritize social justice over medical expertise. This is bonkers. #Cdnpoli @fordnation #Onhealth

Hamas' decision to locate its headquarters units under hospitals was a propaganda masterstroke. From western media coverage, you'd think that gaza was one giant pediatric ward that just happened to have a few terrorists inhabiting basement apartments

At a screening on Parliament Hill today, not a single member from the government showed up to see the footage from October 7, 2023. Not one Liberal Member of Parliament. Maybe before making statements they’ll read this account. 👇 #cdnpoli
