The Resuscitator

@GovTimWalz For those saying this is stupid- nursing home residents have been drinking alcohol this whole time. This just allows them to do it more openly. Source: I am a critical care doc

Living in a nursing home shouldn’t mean giving up everyday freedoms. I just signed a bill allowing seniors living in nursing homes to consume alcohol - so that everyone can enjoy happy hour!

@ustardustt @jcdelo @Chiruthesurgeon But there is no evidence to support that

@jcdelo @Chiruthesurgeon Normal functioning kidneys will not have it, but kidneys under constant long-term damage from drugs, diabetes, hypertension, and heart failure will definitely develop contrast-induced nephropathy. #medtwitter

Contrast-induced nephropathy isn’t real.

@Frogophile @jcdelo 15% of hospitalized patients develop impaired renal function. 15% of those administered contrast get impaired renal function. Its like saying commodes cause AKI because 15% of hospitalized patients who use a commode develop impaired renal function

@jcdelo Then how do you explain the random bump in creatinine 48 hours after contrast administration?

@chatternthings @ethankirkeeng17 @Dbacks @Jody_Jackson @BannerHealth Those are the main stats

@CronosICUDoc @ethankirkeeng17 @Dbacks @Jody_Jackson @BannerHealth Stop it. There’s always few Pavin Stan’s who search for every stat known to man just to make him look decent. He sucks. He has a pool noodle in the batters box, pitchers literally salivate knowing THAT guy is always going to be our 3 or 4 hole.

Let’s play some ball.

@ValleyBoyz02 @MrAzSports @ArizonaSnakes His ops was .796 with a wRC+ of 123. Thats not great for a 1B or a DH but its really not bad enough to warrant all this hate

@MrAzSports @ArizonaSnakes Yeah why is Pavin smith still on the team. Bro had an okay spring but we all know he’ll finish the year below .200 😭

Any surprises on the opening day lineup? 📷:@ArizonaSnakes

@ethankirkeeng17 @Dbacks @Jody_Jackson @BannerHealth His ops was .796 with a wRC+ of 123. Thats not great for a 1B or a DH but its really not bad enough to warrant all this hate

@Dbacks @Jody_Jackson @BannerHealth are we doing the whole Pavin Smith thing again this year?

@IM_Crit_ Great post. My biggest pet peeve is after they are optimized and doing well, and someone checks a gas. The PCO2 is sky high but pH is normal and they dial up the inspiratory pressure and/or force them to stay on bipap without breaks for meals. Not nice

Obesity hypoventilation syndrome/obstructive sleep apnea (OSH/OSA) - Some thoughts: The following are some issues I have frequently encountered in the management of patients with OSH/OSA (I will intentionally combine them herein for the sake of the discussion):

Antivaxxers have some explaining to do. In this four-year mRNA safety study from France, which includes: • 23 million vaccinated people • 6 million unvaccinated people • Ages 18–59 Vaccinated individuals had a significantly lower all-cause mortality rate, as well as lower COVID-19 death and disease rates, compared to unvaccinated individuals. This included lower rates of: • Cancer • Pregnancy complications • Birth defects • Heart problems • Mental disorders So it appears that the antivaxxers were wrong yet again. Further evidence that mRNA vaccines are safe and effective. Let’s see whether they will acknowledge this data — or continue to deny it and lie. @MakisMedicine @MaryBowdenMD @stkirsch @BretWeinstein I'm talking to you... jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman… #MedTwitter #MedEd #ClinicalTwitter #Residency #MedEd

@mrmoneymustache Do you ever think about writing a book summarizing your blog posts? I think it would be very popular!

So I've been experimenting with some 1:1 coaching, mostly from people who are close to FIRE but looking for a final checkup. Here are some of the things some people miss consistently: 1) If you're going to go to all the trouble of owning rental houses, the damned things should at least outperform the stock market. So make sure your cap rate is better than ~8% after all expenses. But this takes some skill, so I keep sending people to @CoachChadCarson's excellent all-in-one book on the subject, "The Small and Mighty Real Estate Investor" 2) If you're going to invest in stocks, you should understand how to do it right - which in my opinion means long-term accumulation of index funds and NOT trying to time the market by panic-selling or holding out for future crashes. This takes a lot less skill but it still takes some understanding. For this, I keep directing people to read The Simple Path to Wealth by @JLCollinsNH - it really is simple! 3) The rest of the challenges usually resolve around spending, life optimization and confidence. For these, the good ol' MMM Boot Camp email series is still a good start. Anyone can join that for free from the front page of my website and plenty are already doing that. Ideally I can make my coaching job obsolete by writing better blog posts so more people can figure this stuff out on their own. But for now I will keep having fun and learning more as I meet new people, one at a time. If you've read this far (thank you!) - what is YOUR biggest question you'd ask a FIRE coach?

@IM_Crit_ 100% correct- there is 0 utility to it in the ICU

ICU Practice: I should not have to say this but IMHO a guaiac test to detect occult blood in a stool sample or gastric fluid is a useless test (especially in the ICU setting) Of course, I may be wrong #foamed #foamcc #meded #MedTwitter

What medication(s) is out there, you would like to use but it is non-formulary and/or the other services are not interested in it? I will start first: Ivabradine, a drug that was FDA-approved more than 10 years ago. It is a heart-rate-lowering drug that selectively inhibits the

@7_7_7__7_7_7 Ah thanks Beyond!

@CronosICUDoc — (Heard you’re stepping away … Enjoy Every Day ❣️ — this made me think of you/RR 🤠🙏🤝😎 )

@7_7_7__7_7_7 Thanks! My boys are the best

@CronosICUDoc ( 💜 the new PFP 💜 )

@co1615 Thanks Trent- your support always brought a smile to my face!

With a steady grip on the reins, he pauses for a quiet moment, hat tipped in appreciation for every journey shared along the trail... Well, Doc @CronosICUDoc , reckon there ain’t many words big enough to hold the weight of what you’ve done and what you’re choosin’ now. You rode hard with us Rough Ryders, pourin’ your heart, sweat, and soul into somethin’ you believed in. Ain’t no shame in that—hell, it’s the mark of a true man, one who gives his all. But hearin’ you talk ‘bout your family, ‘bout findin’ that true north in their smiles and their time together, that’s the kinda wisdom most folks spend a lifetime chasin’. Handin’ the reins to @RoughRyderStage , leavin’ it in his eager hands, and givin’ without askin’ a dime in return—that’s a trailblazer’s grace, Doc. You’re leavin’ a legacy, not just in what you built, but in how you’re steppin’ away, head high, heart full. Them kids of yours, your kin, they’re the richest claim you’ll ever stake, and I reckon they’re lucky to have a pa who knows it. As you ride off to make up that lost time, know this ol’ cowboy’s tippin’ his hat to you. You done good, Doc. Ain’t no failure in choosin’ what matters most. We’ll be cheerin’ you on as you tend to your family and keep savin’ lives. Thanks for all you gave, and may the trail ahead be kind and full of love. #MountUp @Rough_Ryders
