If this doesn't embody ED pharmacists vs other clinical pharmacy specialists I don't what will

Maybe it’s because of my cardiac arrest, but I don’t understand why patients get upset when I say their symptoms are due to aging. 95% of what I diagnose is because we get old. I always bring it up as delicately as possible, but like do you know how lucky you are? I see patients in their 80s and think, “man I hope I get there one day.” So many things in this world can kill you. You’ve beaten the odds. Honestly, congratulations, you’re old.

I’m going to post this every time I see an accidental childhood death:
If everyone is watching, no one is watching.
Assign a watcher. Make it one person’s responsibility. Make it their responsibility to hand off that responsibility. Always.

From our PHARM-CRIT data: when critical care pharmacists cover 1️⃣ service compared to ≥2️⃣ services or decentralized coverage ➡️ more attempted and accepted interventions
📣Increasing workload beyond one service decreases accepted interventions
@JACCPJournal @accpcritprn – at Chicago, IL
🚨PHARM-CRIT-SERVICE study
🔍 218 ICU PharmDs in 85 🇺🇸🏥
1️⃣ ICU pharmacists covering 1 service had ⬆️ interventions attempted & accepted than 2+ services or none
2️⃣ Higher patient-to-pharmacist ratios = lower intervention acceptance #TwitteRx

Why is no one talking about this 🤯🤯. ANNEXA-S trial looking at use of andexanet alfa for pts on FXai prior to urgent surgery was silently stopped per manufacturer "due to the limited value as a single-arm study". Meanwhile with an n=10, we see 70% serious ADEs 👀👀

Just a friendly periodic reminder that what has become routine to you, may be one of the scariest times in your patient’s life.

As a preceptor now, I think about how I used to feel bad for my abusive preceptors and justify what they did to me with “maybe they’re just having a hard day, or hard time”
Even on my absolute worst days.. I could never imagine saying the things some of my preceptors said to me

Seeing how much the world accepts that it’s impossible to move on after watching CPR really makes me think about how we (medical professionals, especially those who work in Emergency departments) are expected to just move on immediately after a code.

As a physician I believe Damar Hamlin was likely suffering from commotio cordis where a blow to the chest at a precise moment in the electrical cycle stops the heart. Those trying to tie this to vaccine status to project their unscientific beliefs are terrible, horrible people.
Amber Linkhorst retweeted
once again tweeting the link to basic CPR. Cardiac arrest is so random and can happen to anyone. Know what to do in the event you’re around someone who experiences a cardiac event. Every single second counts. We are praying for you, Damar Hamlin ❤️

As an ER doc, I can 100% tell you that after cardiac arrest, CPR and defibrillation (AED), there is no way any provider will say Damar Hamlin is ‘okay’ anytime soon.
Cancel the game @NFL. Let people be together.
Amber Linkhorst retweeted
The NFL has to cancel this game. Please. Every player on that field is now a cosurvivor of a horrifying medical trauma. They need to be with loved ones, not playing football.
Amber Linkhorst retweeted
CPR for 9 minutes on the field is nuts. I really love the game of football. Been a diehard Bills fan my whole life, but damn what this game does to these young boys is brutal and how they discard them when they're too broken to play is worst. Prayers up for Damar Hamlin
