Proud to have helped eliminate "excited delirium" in EM.
Aiming to correctly use the subjunctive in Spanish more often.
And I am never, ever sick at sea.

Adults with #AFib who drank at least one cup of caffeinated coffee daily after successful cardioversion had a lower risk of recurrence than those who abstained from coffee & caffeine.

For those asking for the context behind Bolsonaro’s insults at the start: he was still a congressman in 2014 and made headlines for being open about supporting the 1964 coup d’Etat. This was not a popular position in Brazil at the time. All Borges asked him was: “So there was no coup in 1964?”
Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

On 13 Nov 2026 #NASA's Voyager 1 will be one light day (25.9b km/16b mi) from Earth. No other nation has done this - yet Voyager carries greetings from all humanity. We're not only spacefaring - we're now starfaring. How about a #LightDay - some #interstellar #softpower for NASA?

I'm sure that my ER colleague was 100% sincere when they ordered a costly EMS transfer.
But this situation forced this family into (credit card!) debt.
We don't talk enough about the financial risks of ER visits.

Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole carries a very low (but real) risk of causing ARDS.
Duration of therapy is a risk factor (>7 days).
Could likely be minimized by avoiding unnecessarily long courses.
TMP-SMX is usually well tolerated, but can wreak havok (SJS, ARDS, drug-induced meningitis). #EMIMCC

New study design:
Multiply a small & uncertain number with a big number and you get a big number
The final big number looks, well, really big
This grabs headlines & gets cited
It doesn’t clarify underlying uncertainty, so it doesn’t actually illuminate anything
Mathematically rigorous clickbait

We are former CDC officials. RFK Jr.'s change to vaccine guidance is propaganda.

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.
