I’m always torn between wanting to use my sunlight lamp to wake up and using a sleep mask to fall asleep, there’s just no good compromise.

Daily reminder that UpToDate is not an appropriate source for vancomycin dosing

It took me until my second to last call shift to realize how bringing ice cream to eat in the call bed changes the game

You know you have a problem when you have an 11 week (!!) break in between jobs and you’re stressed out about finding things to do😅 Travel isn’t an option since will be balling on budget with the gap in income. What would you do in that time??

Doodz I did a thorough study on melatonin in school and found literature that showed our body physiologically produces about 1mg of melatonin naturally so taking more causes SE, etc. Taking 0.5-1mg is the magic trick. I take children’s gummies and works like a charm.

I’m going to miss this place 🥺 Kat Chester, PharmD, BCCCP, BCGP, FNCS John Patka ❤️

A key point in ACLS is that in shockable rhythms, the ⚡ is key to improving outcomes A knee-jerk reaction in a code is to give epi, but epi before shock in a shockable rhythm WORSENS outcomes ⚡once, then ⚡ again, THEN give epi bmj.com/content/375/bm… bmj.com/content/353/bm…

Vasili Panop Step 1 in ACLS (after CPR) is to determine if the rhythm is shockable, so yes, no meds until rhythm is known. If you give epi before knowing the rhythm, you might prevent a shockable rhythm from responding to a shock Nicholas A. DeFilippo, PharmD (He/Him) pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9515014/
