@LeahHoustonMD Yes

This is one of the most out of touch takes I’ve ever heard from a fellow physician. Read the room, Congressman. Physicians are burning out because we are being crushed by administrative burden, loss of autonomy, declining reimbursement, corporate consolidation, insurance interference, and a system that treats doctors like disposable labor while demanding endless sacrifice. Stop blaming physicians for refusing to tolerate an increasingly dysfunctional system. The problem is not that young doctors lack commitment. The problem is that medicine has become unsustainable.

@mcuban What kind of chickens? JK, thank you for the post.

If you want more doctors doing house calls, not selling their practices and going to work for the big HC conglomerates, make public med school free. A little gov intervention, so that rather than having 100s of thousands in debt guiding their decisions , they can do primary care or be a family physician and spend as much time with patients as they want. They can take cash. They can take chickens. If you had 250k after almost a decade of school, do you think that would impact your decisions ? And if you own a big HC conglomerate, does knowing they are drowning in debt impact your decision and how you compete and contract with them ? Fuck yeah it does. You pressure them till they have to sell out to you in an acquihire. They can’t afford to survive on their own and every huge HC company takes advantage of them About 32k students enter med school and DO school a year. 75k for a grant each. Thats 2.4b annually for each class. That’s it. You want better healthcare for everyone. That’s the place to start.

✔️If a tracheal tube is accidentally placed in the oesophagus, a capnogram is the gold standard to detect this and prevent hypoxia. ⛔️ The big universal 🌎 problem: on most medical monitors the ventilator pressure curves can look very similar to capnogram curves!! (See images 1 and 2) ⚠️This is a call to action for all capnograph device companies in the world to set shaded capnograph curve as default (Image 3). Open curves look like other measurements. People have died because of this (Image 4) Currently, on most monitors the default cannot be changed manually. We need a universal shaded curve for capnography to increase patient safety.

@DrNeilStone Well said.

I've had enough of this site. I'm sick of the bots, hatred, lies and abuse. I quit. Enough. I'm out. See you all tomorrow.

TIL a DuCanto catheter can deliver a bougie. Obviously not what you would *plan* to do but useful if you find yourself with suction in the trachea and a contaminated airway. This is also why you need to have TWO suction catheters. Demo at @TheAirwaySite difficult airway course:

Airway Management Biggest proven breakthrough last 20 years
→ Videolaryngoscopy Biggest missed opportunity:
→ Awake intubation Biggest conceptual shift:
→ First-pass success + peri-oxygenation + context sensitive airway management Biggest future gain:
→ Structured airway strategy (triage-based thinking) #anaesthesia
