By the time the TEG/ROTEM machine gets to Labour and Delivery you could have had a fibrinogen level from the lab. Just saying...

What do you think of this? I like the term “tender conversations” to remind us to approach them with tenderness
Kathryn Mannix says death conversations are difficult conversations when we call them “difficult conversations.” Instead, she calls them “tender conversations.” At #dotmed19
This is one reason @OttawaHospital has the Patient Clothing Cupboard. Watch for info about fall coat and boot drive coming soon. DM me for more info on making donations or accessing the service
I learned that one of my interns brought clothes from home so that his patient (that had none) could be discharged from the hospital with dignity. Acts of kindness everyday that fly below the radar. I have such love and admiration for my @uabimres residents!
Reasons to check INR- patient on warfarin
Reason to check aPTT- unless patient on UFH, you probably don’t have one
These are rules for coagulation time testing outside specialized hemostasis/ thrombosis services. Please tell me why I’m wrong about this
Yesterday, as we entered a resto for lunch, I saw what I knew to be a VERY high panhandler on the corner. But he still mumbled Thanks when change clinked in his cap.

Has anyone read This Little Light? Read it on vacay and have some questions. First is- why does this beach read book feel like more than that? Other qu’s related to some plot twists
Sailing the Mediterranean (Menorca, Spain) with the family. What, did you think experimental chemo would hold us back?
Thanks everyone for the reading recommendations. I’ll let you know what I read and how it was upon return from vacation.
Trainee Tweeps- STOP the anecdotes! No reader likes them.
Recipe 2 is a hero story. This is doubly true for #pccm apps. Severe ARDS, 4 pressors, prone, paralyzed person who somehow survives and returns to give a hug several days later on their way to the fair. This is critical care. It’s also what about 25% of applicants write.
