Emily Rx

Still doing 60 mg IM ketorolac? Consider 15 mg instead, glad to have the IntraMuscular data to go with the IV from @painfreeED previous work. I sum it up this way, "Ceiling effect of NSAIDS: there are only so many COX to block!" pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34365063/ COX=CycloOXygenase enzyme

Types of toxicology papers, @xkcd style! Ping @cleebennett @ERtox @Natekunzler @Harvard_Tox @PeterRchai and more

@SonoMaxMD Yes!

@endowayRx weren’t we talking about this recently?

@JoeButler57 @MDeLaneyMD LOL

@MDeLaneyMD @endowayRx I prefer yungEpi

Physician asked me for push-dose epi. Nurse grabbed epi code syringes, handed them to me. I stated, “that’s not what she wants, I’ll make it, I have to dilute it.” She responded, “that’s epi that we push.” She’s right. I’m thinking a better name might be micro-dose pressors

@DrugInfoGeek This probably inspired the idea when I was mulling it over, I had recently been reading some of the psychedelic microdosing lit

@endowayRx I too have been trying to cone up with a better descriptor for these Push-dose is a terrible way to describe dilute pressors as ~every drug 'dose' is 'pushed' in these situations. I like micro-dose pressors; don't think anyone would get confused with the other use of microdose

@jdfj @AJWPharm I love peppinephrine but while we’re all yelling at each other through masks, I wonder if the p in front would occasionally be a little muffled/not heard clearly

@ZachFoughty @DrugInfoGeek I’ve heard them referred to that way as well and like it but not sure the nomenclature would gain enough traction for widespread use

@EMdruggist Omg yes please, I love this!

@endowayRx Maybe we can call it Bebe-epi? I feel that that would be super fun to yell in a critical situation 😂

I was today years old when I learned that you can put a fentanyl patch on a snake 🤣🤣

@bessbell Luckily there is a third option, Jo Jorgensen, that will be on the ballot in all 50 states! Check her out!

This election is a tough call because one candidate was endorsed by both the Taliban and the KKK and the other was endorsed by a broad bipartisan coalition and the New England Journal of Medicine.

Brilliant proposal from Aravind Chodavarapu for how we can refer to post-graduate pharmacist training: phresh phresidents doing phresidencies and phellowships

As an emergency pharmacist, I have always been so proud of the collaborative nature of the ER. I’m not a member of any EM organizations. The lack of interdisciplinary collaboration in our EM organizations and this kind of behavior is why

This is frustrating. It seems we still have some work to do on interdisciplinary collaboration...and respect

@EMinFocus @DerekMonetteMD @hrh_approved @emresidents @ACEPNow @AAEMRSA @SAEMonline @CORD_EM @ACOEPRSO @aaeminfo @ACOEP @SAEM_RAMS As an emergency pharmacist, I was always so proud of the collaborative nature of the ER. SAEM is one of the only EM organizations that allow pharmacists to join. I’m not a member; the lack of interdisciplinary collaboration in our EM organizations and this kind of behavior is why

Words matter. In the medical setting, *resident*, *residency*, *fellow*, and *fellowship* belong to physicians ONLY. ⬇️📃 Every EM physician, resident, & student should be paying attention to the battle on scope of practice. 🥼 That’s the tweet. emra.org/be-involved/be…

@hrh_approved Out of curiosity, what should pharmacy post-graduate training be called?

Everyone involved in facilitating simulation should listen to this excellent conversation! youtu.be/bdIvhbSNfZM

@littlecheee But they have a replacement program! I can send you the link!
