Have you ever heard of “The Second Golden Hour of Trauma”? It is the time when we can intervene to try to make retaliatory violence less likely. Remember always that violence is perpetrated against a fellow human being. #AAEM23

Dr. Gore presents for us an informative slide differentiating “Acute Stress Disorder” vs. “Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder”. #AAEM23

“Trauma-Informed Care” requires implementation of the “4 Rs”: Realize, Recognize, Respond & Resist re-traumatization. This slide makes a nice overview. # AAEM23

Dr. Robert Gore shares his insights about his own personal journey, about how in dealing with his trauma-related experiences, he was okay…until he wasn’t. What a wonderful message. What a wonderful speaker. #AAEM23

Bob McNamara in the Workforce Town Hall reminding us that in deciding who is seeing the patient, corporations ARE engaged currently in the practice of medicine, & it MUST be the role of the physician leading the team to decide who (& with what qualifications) sees the pt. #AAEM23

I just learned a new term from Drs. Pierre, Smith & Brown at the Microaggressions session for “Upstander” training. “Upstander”. A person who can & will stand up for the person wronged by a microaggression. This recorded session is worth your reviewing it! #AAEM23

Jared and Ivanka got $640 million as WH "advisors" Ivanka got 18 trademarks from China Jared got $2 billion from the Saudis Jared got $6.35 million in PPP loans Ivanka, Jr & Eric are being sued for fraud But tell us more about the Bidens corruption. #ProudBlue #TrumpCrimeFamily

Donald Trump gave no order to deploy the National Guard to protect the Capitol prior to or on Jan 6. Listen to the testimony of his own secretary of defense. No matter how many times Trump lies about this the facts won’t change. He is unfit for any office.

I just learned from expert Cham Dallas, a veteran of responses to Fukushima & Chernobyl, that NO medical personnel have ever suffered radiation injury from treating radiation-exposed victims. COVID was a greater risk to medical personnel. We can respond without fear #CEEM23

From Cham Dallas: The photos list the 8 main points of his talk about responding to radiation disasters. We can be harmed as medical rescuers by going into “hot” contaminated ZONES, but contaminated PATIENTS cannot cause radiation exposure to us. #CEEM23

Nataliya Izhytska MD, a cardiologist by training and a brave Ukrainian physician involved in the response to the Russian invasion, bears witness to Russian targeting of medical facilities & personnel, clear violations of the Geneva Convention. #CEEM23

Russians are placing explosive mines in civilian areas, so the result is many civilian casualties, not just military ones, and many of these have required amputations. Russians target military facilities also. This violates Geneva Conventions. #CEEM23

Russian military units that have invaded Ukraine are engaging civilians, killing children & perpetrating numerous war crimes. Dr Izhytska bears witness by sharing evidence. #CEEM23

I will never stop saying it (until we have it): Board certification for our specialty! This will not only improve patient safety but also patient experience. #FacharztNotfallmedizinjetzt Roland Bingisser Bruno Minotti Senad Tabakovic SGNOR_SSMUS YoungDGINA

Joelle, I enjoyed your March 2024 column in EMN. Keep that “attitude of gratitude”! Spoken/written by a true “problem solver” whose world is “only half empty”, and not “only half full”. After I temporarily retired, I got “back in the game”; I value being on a “great team”!

LOL! This NEVER gets old and this is the best one EVER!!
