An introductory thread about who I am. 🧵👇
Yes, true.
It's not just a respiratory disease; respiratory symptoms are just the more obvious manifestation.
It's an endothelial disease that attacks small blood vessels throughout the body: lung, brain, gut, immune system etc.
Remember that excellence

is better than perfection

COVID isn't like AIDS but it does attack the immune system. There seem to be the same number of "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" and "what doesn't kill you cripples you" bullets in the chamber
For when you run out of scopolamine
My work day happens to start late today 😏

The theme song to Slow Horses is just iconic.
"... and have a heapin' helpin' of our horse fatality"
(must have been a meat shortage)
I could never figure out why he says
"Y'all invited back next week to dislocate my knee"
Despite not having seen an episode of the Beverly Hillbilies or Glilligan's Island in over 30 years, why is it that their opening and closing theme tunes are so baked into my head that I can recite them verbatim?
But I don't do this for sick people. Emergency intubation of physiologically compromised patients is a whole other ball game
Typically I preO2, while I give a weight based does of midaz and opiate, I use propofol Marsh model, set the target at 6, instruct my assistant to apply cricoid and give roc when the target is reached, I wait 60-90s, I tube.
(Of course it's more a fixed sequence induction than a true RSI)
