It's my pleasure to be passing the baton to Dr. Jenny Lu as @toxikonchicago's next Fellowship Director. It is one of the most fantastic jobs in medicine, and I know that Dr. Lu will be a huge success in this role going forward! @CookCountyEM @UICBrownCoat @ILPoisonCenter

@MDaware Not that it’s a bad thing, but apparently 66% of your followers are Hufflepuffs.

another Potter poll from LilAware: if you were old enough to enter the Triwizard Tournament, would you?

@MDaware @davidcarr333 Wait. So covid causes endocarditis now?

@davidcarr333 in fairness we probably all routinely missed endocarditis before covid

Not every fever is Covid. All those other diagnoses still exist. Take a history. Dust off your stethoscopes. Multiple negative Covid tests, Missed Endocarditis.

@jennak06 Only times it’s ever helped me: unexplained AMS in a child. Also, I don’t have methadone on my UDS 😕

Hey Toxicologists, I know it is *the thing* to hate on UDS, but the result I do actually find useful is UDS + methadone. Come at me!

@theereneepetzel Strange - my four year old picked a superpower this morning also! His was “trapping people with lightning bolts.” #raisingsupervillains #actuallyhappened

When your 5 yr old picks a superpower and it’s kindness... #myemmittboy

My thoughts exactly, @MittRomney

Today’s insurrectionist attack on the U.S. Capitol was incited by Trump’s poisonous lies & flagrant assault on our Constitution. The GOP must discard and disavow Trump once and for all, end its attacks on the electoral process, & commit fully to the peaceful transfer of power.

@igorbobic 😢

That’s the confederate flag flying outside the Senate chamber

Protesters have breached the Capitol. They’re outside the Senate chamber

@MKleinMD @emily_fri My sister had it while we were skiing. I called her dramatic. She was dramatic, but she was also anaphylactic. #doctorbrother

@emily_fri Shut the front door. I’ve treated a handful of cases of exercise induced asthma, but never knew it could be connected to food. Medicine is wild. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16711535/

I just learned about food dependent exercise induced anaphylaxis. 🤯

@Elise_Lovell @theNNTweet @ACMCEM @NorthwesternEM Thanks for making it so interactive. It was a blast! And yes, George did get lunch. The most EM lunch of all time - a turkey sandwich.

Healthcare workers and public health folks, let's do some simple education. COVID-19 is contagious, and that's why you need contact tracing. Newscasters and advisors to government can be "heroes" by being factual. This is harmful and unacceptable. 1/4 @ndrew_lawrence

@MJP_MD @MikeGisondi @theBranzetti @NorthwesternEM Sorry @MJP_MD - You were that middle photo that @theBranzetti deframed.
