'We over-predict our ability to predict.' A highly improbable event (a black swan) is: - unpredictable, - has a massive impact, - and after the fact we concoct an explanation that makes it appear less random. @airwaycam at @TheBigSick 2023 on the emergency airway.

“We over predict our ability to predict” Black swan events are unpredictable and have a massive impact. #TBS23 @airwaycam at @TheBigSick

I've often said my biggest concern with the "save ED/ #Ambulance for emergencies" campaigns is they might actually work. They might convince the public that they're the problem - not the system. Today I saw exactly that. A short 🧵 1/x

First talk is Sara Gray on five things your Intensivist wants you to do. #uoftem24 1. Post intubation 10 mins. Start the ICU basics 1. Lines, 2. fluids 3. Ng tube, 4. meds, 5. raise head of bed 6. Maybe use a checklist.

Did you know that peter brindley is a full-time Critical Care Doc who suspects nobody reads bios? According to his kids that is probably all you need to know about him. See you at #TBS25

The presence of emergency medicine is female, and the future as well. Best abstract session so far 100% female. #eusem2024 @EuropSocEM Barbra Backus Maybe the program with invited speakers should reflect that in the future.

GeriEM: after propensity matching, there’s no difference at 30 days in terms of serious outcomes in elderly patients with syncope whether you admit them or not. I’ve long thought that admitting loads of old folk with collapse?cause😡 wasn’t good for them… #EUSEM2024

Incredible audience at the pediatric abstract session, packed room. Outstanding research and incredibly laid back and funny discussion. It was such a blast. #EUSEM2024 @EuropSocEM

We have a population that is changing, and we can't keep doing the same thing. Bringing someone to the ED is an intervention that may not be in their best interests. We need to get better for them and for us. #eusem2024
