Today instead of “pharmacy” I was referred to as “physician autocorrect” 😂

Coming to you live from the ED to tell you emergency medicine is really fucking hard.

Single dose Aminoglycoside implemented in the ED can help avoid hospital admissions. Awesome pilot series led by @JJenretteRx doi.org/10.1111/acem.1…

@PhlawlessPharm I read this tweet and the next morning, same scenario: “I’m on drugs” 😅

Me in trauma today announcing roles: “My name is X, I will be doing drugs” 😩🙃😂

Hi, medical toxicologist here. Administering large doses of naloxone to all patients with opioid toxicity to "totally reverse" them is not a good take. My thoughts below:

@BCB_PharmD @EmmaHaught1 @MeganARech We do!

@KLowRx @EmmaHaught1 @MeganARech Interesting, do you use Epic?

Interesting results…I had never seen pain dose ketamine as an infusion over 15 min until my current institution! Curious if people doing the short infusion are seeing benefits? The studies seem favorable but also never had an issue with IV push before

@BCB_PharmD @EmmaHaught1 @MeganARech We’ve developed a protocol where it’s compounded in the department and nursing scans both the ketamine syringe and 100mL bag to take central out of the equation

@EmmaHaught1 I'm a proponent of the study @MeganARech referenced, but my docs rarely use it and when they do they don't want to wait for it come from central pharmacy.

Any articles on how preceptors can reflect/track/incorporate learner feedback? I'm finding zero and am starting to think it's not talked about enough. We're doing learners a disservice by not adapting and improving. Any articles on this out there? #twitterx #academia #residency

All that hard work in residency paying off! 🎉🎉

Stewardship initiatives that would work, would not cause harm, but no one would let me do: 1. All providers get a daily vanco ration. If you run out, you have to borrow from other provider, they have to agree w/ you and give you one of theirs 2. Board w/ # quinolone Rx by name

EM Pharmacists dramatically reducing the time to attempted patient contact for EM pt's dc'd later to have positive blood culture results. A great way for us to help out in a busy department and ensure the best care is provided pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37515915/

when the pharmacist recommends cardioversion: sometimes you need medicine, sometimes you need Edison. #emRx

@olsonplanner I literally just checked and was not on one like i thought i was - yikes 😳😬

Anyone who graduated med school in 2020-2022: Confirm your loan servicer has received your income-driven repayment plan application and that you are actually on this plan. Many instances of ppl thinking they are on an IDR and the loan servicer "never received the application."

Going into the holiday, a few reminders: Colloquially it’s called Independence Day. To ER doctors it’s ‘omg don’t drive drunk you’ll all just hit each other, seriously don’t hold fireworks with your hands, and that potato salad been sitting out for 9 hours now, don’t do it’ day
