james60+FollowED Hack: Lipid Rescue Made SimpleEver heard of LAST? It’s a rare but scary complication from nerve blocks in the ER, and the antidote is intralipid (yep, fat emulsion!). Docs at Highland Hospital just rolled out a super simple 'Open-Pull-Push' protocol: open the kit, pull up the lipid, push it fast. They keep everything ready to go in a block cart, and even run practice drills. Love seeing real-world hacks that make emergencies less chaotic! #EmergencyMedicine #PatientSafety #MedTwitter #NerveBlocks #Intralipid #Health40Share
Andrew Hutchinson+FollowAPPs Are Taking Over Healthcare?Did you know nearly 2 out of 5 healthcare providers in the US are now advanced practice providers (APPs) like nurse practitioners and physician assistants? The number of APPs is booming, and experts say we could soon see as many APPs as doctors in the workforce. They’re helping docs focus on what they do best, but there’s a catch: physician practices are getting more expensive to run, and hospitals are feeling the pinch too. Healthcare is definitely changing! #HealthcareTrends #NursePractitioner #PhysicianAssistant #MedTwitter #HospitalNews #Health00Share
Russell Cooke+FollowResidency or Just a Never-Ending Audition?Imagine grinding through three years of pediatric residency—overnights, codes, admits, the whole deal—only to be told you need two more years of fellowship just to do the job you’ve already been trained for. Nothing’s changed about the work, just the rules. It’s not about better care; it’s about gatekeeping and control. Feels less like education, more like a protection racket. When does the training treadmill end? #MedTwitter #ResidencyLife #PhysicianBurnout #MedicalEducation #HealthcareDebate #JobCareer30Share
