4 victims of gun violence a day. 1,500 cases per year. That’s what we see and care for here Hennepin Healthcare Hennepin County EM Hennepin Healthcare General Surgery Residency Gun violence is a public health emergency. It’s neighbors, friends, parents, children. We have to do better. cbsnews.com/minnesota/news…

Pts who overdose on fentanyl have a higher one year mortality than patients who have a STEMI post PCI. The NNT for buprenorphine is 2. There is no other medication that we prescribe in the ED with a greater impact on mortality. -@callan_fockele on the NAEMSP Townhall.

MS4s: Don't forget to file your tax returns by Monday if you want to have $0 student loan payments for at least the first year of residency! (Screenshot of my current MOHELA student loan payment provided below.) Michael Putterman, CFP® 🤑🥼 Tyler Olson, EA

Thank you #MedTwitter for giving me the best friends and mentors s girl could ask for. Someone photoshop Jace Mullen in…we tragically couldn’t find him for this pic.

Another source of student debt. Very common as students spend thousands on third party resources considered essential for high Step scores. Many traditional lectures not relevant to USMLE or faculty’s niche area (tho many lectures clinically useful even if not geared to USMLE)

These numbers are brutal. RCT comparing FPS with DL and VL in neonates. VL FPS: 74% DL FPS: 45%

When I was a 4th year med student an insurance salesman talked me into applying for disability insurance. (Even though I had no income) The problem? I got denied due to a PMH To this day, I cannot get disability insurance because of that mistake Wanna know why #medtwitter ?

Welcome to the ICU! There is no max dose of levophed. Nice to have you with us!

Evidence is not mounting. There is already ample safety data. It is time to allow this drug in the US!

Congratulations to the amazing Maia Dorsett on being named 2024 EMS Medical Director of the Year by Nat'l Assoc of EMTs Couldn’t go to a more deserving EMS physician!

Who wants to start the class action lawsuit against Mohela and government for this student loan shambles— not being able to switch out of save, not having these months count when you can’t make payments or switch plans, etc.

So Tyler Olson, EA I’m enrolled in SAVE (by decree) and now sitting in forbearance while opportunity for qualifying low payments in residency drain away. Is there any alternative other than wait and see what happens? U.S. Department of Education this is trash Joshua

Paramedics should be taught to present patients similarly to how it’s taught in medical school (abridged version). Everyone knows what to expect.

This Friday, September 27th, Dr. Bonnie Snyder will be discussing her recently published paper “Association of Small Adult Ventilation Bags with Return of Spontaneous Circulation in OHCA. We will be live at 11 AM EST. Zoom Registration: us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

Hard to believe the end of residency is in sight but I’m so stoked to be joining Hennepin EMS Medical Directors for EMS Fellowship and staying Hennepin County EM for another year!

the problem is that we don't "randomly cut everything by 10-35%." when it comes to austerity, the first things on the chopping block are always education, healthcare, and aid to the poor. why don't we first try "randomly" chopping corporate welfare and "see what happens?"
