@IM_Crit_ Sooo true!! I cancelled the CT after a negative MRI and got reprimanded by the protocol police and had to explain to admin 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️😂

ICU Neurology Secrets: I know that this may sound a revolutionary idea for people that live & breathe "protocols" but if a patient with stroke symptoms has a CT brain at 11:00 am followed by t-PA infusion & next am at 09:00 undergoes brain MRI, she does not CT brain at 11:00 😊

@Shabbirkazmi90 @IM_Crit_ This is SO spot on!!!

@IM_Crit_ And hospitals pay us zero dollars 💵 for these life grueling services.

A lot of people don’t know this: many hospitals in the States have no trainees/residents, so an attending takes the in-hospital call. It is 3:00 am now and if you visit our 200-bed hospital, the only physicians you will find are the ED attending, the hospitalist and me.

@DrCanuckMD Hahaha. As an ICU attending I would give him my standard line of “please go home…read a mystery novel… and find a fucking clue”

@LGlaucomflecken @njohncamm @DGlaucomflecken Maybe @njohncamm just needs to read a mystery novel and find a clue 🤷🏻‍♂️ Those of us that attended SCCM Congress LOVED your message and are actively practicing treating the patient and their families.

Good to know that an interventional cardiologist doesn’t consider the survivor and family’s perspective important enough to teach them anything. I sure hope @njohncamm just wasn’t aware of @DGlaucomflecken’s cardiac arrest.

@baltazarsurgery Looks like your “lil sib” me followed my big sib’s career in critical care hahhaha. Sorry I didn’t catch you at Congress.

@baltazarsurgery Did you graduate from TUCOM California?

@drjill14 @DGlaucomflecken @LGlaucomflecken This was a fantastic talk. Probably one of the best I have ever seen/heard.

Still thinking about this incredible talk and message from @DGlaucomflecken and @LGlaucomflecken #SCCM2023 #pedsicu

@GoodishIntent 😩😩😩By the time I get the admission (2-3 hours after arrival)… NOTHING has been done. Not even fluids or any form or insulin 😭😭😭

@m4betch Ignore all that noise. Apply to all that you’re interested in!!!

Did my dad help you on September 11, 2001? If so, I'm trying to find you. (a thread) On September 11th, 2001 my dad caught a flight in Ohio to fly home to Denver. He was there on business and was anxious to get home to see his family. (1/11)

@JaymetheRN @PhilStudge @shesinscrubs 🥰 they are the absolute best. I’m very blessed and lucky and appreciate the family we have.

@IntensivistDoc @PhilStudge @shesinscrubs I bet the nurses 💓 you!

Weird how some physicians start to care about/pay attention to the nursing shortage when they see nurses being paid what they’re worth…

@brakes4birds @CeeRussell @shesinscrubs Thank you. My partners and I are very protective of our colleagues

@IntensivistDoc @CeeRussell @shesinscrubs For what it’s worth - not all of us take offense to this. I use the same verbiage when referencing the docs that I work with, usually in a sentence in which I’m feeling protective of them. Thank you for advocating for your colleagues.

@JaymetheRN @PhilStudge @shesinscrubs You are spot on! I was told that my support of the nursing staff was adding fuel to the fire in creating a hostile work environment 🤯🤬 that woke up papa bear. I’ll continue to advocate.

@IntensivistDoc @PhilStudge @shesinscrubs It's all a twisted system designed to keep nurses down

@PhilStudge @shesinscrubs I was pretty much told to “shut up and dribble” They definitely haven’t stopped me from advocating for the nursing staff

@IntensivistDoc @shesinscrubs It IS your business. Without them, you're out of business.

@CeeRussell @shesinscrubs My apologies. That statement was not my intention. You are spot on with that.

@IntensivistDoc @shesinscrubs Nurses are not “your’s” unless you are a patient. Nurses are your colleagues.

When a bunch of docs and nurses quit and a hospital is about to collapse, please, everyone, before you leave that hospital… Make sure to send 🍕 to admin. Finding staffing is hard. They need to know they are the real heros.

@theintensemd My admin tried to tell me who shall or shall not be admitted to MY ICU. Aren’t they cute…NOT. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Hospital is overflowing. We are short staffed. Administration bought everyone pizza. Haven’t they seen all of the memes?

@GolsRpalliative @jmugele That happened to me literally 5 minutes ago by a patient’s family member. To which I replied “can I call your loved one a murderer for passing the virus onto your mom who I just coded 2 hours ago” 🤷🏻‍♂️
