Great to see this wonderful article about our important #burns research on @SciDevNet @LindAlliance scidev.net/global/news/evide…

Evidence missing to address burn death disparities

Burns research must prioritise effective treatment of acute burns and associated trauma, with poorer countries in focus, say experts.

Only 20% of the general public knows what a "nephrologist" specializes in. 4% thought it meant "death". 😱 Great work from the team @UMNPeds. I've learned to introduce myself as the kidney doctor. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3617…

Since it doesn’t seem to be published anywhere, I’m publishing it here: I’m in a group of 50 hospitalists. We have cared for thousands of sick COVID patients for 6 months. 10s of thousands of hours in their rooms. Paper surgical & N95s masks. 2% of us have been infected.

Let’s move on to fluid resuscitation. “When you have 20 different formulas it means that none of them really works for everyone, key is to adjust fluids depending on patients response” @TinaPalmieri4 #CCC49 #ABAatSCCM
