Provocative take: Dilt or metop for AF with RVR is *not* an urgent intervention. Little reason for EMS, or EM in the first hour, to do this. Risk >> possible benefit #OculoDiltReflex

56 years ago today, Dr. Christiaan Barnard performed the 1st successful human #heart #transplant at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa. It was a race he wasn’t supposed to win. A short historical thread...(1)
