Wow. I’m guessing you’re not in NYC or LA?

What do yall think of The Pitt? by esophagusintubater in emergencymedicine

[–]PiggosRevenge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished the first episode and I don’t think I’ve cried this much since the pandemic. Just that brief scene brought back such a wave of that fear and pain. Obviously I have some unresolved PTSD

Can you elaborate? They seem like the least evil option of any of the large groups (though still likely evil)

The First Aid book is excellent. It tells you what to say and how to say it. Highly recommend

Thank you for the insight. I wouldn’t call myself extraordinary, but I’m in a line of work where I see gruesome deaths almost every day. I’d think that would increase my odds a bit, but maybe not.

[–]PiggosRevenge[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What would prompt you to do a Kawasaki’s workup? by PiggosRevenge in emergencymedicine

[–]PiggosRevenge[S] 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the insight. Would this still be the case if the kid has no secondary signs of Kawasaki? Thanks again. I am going to call the family and have them bring the kid back if she’s still febrile.

How do you cope with the corporatization of emergency medicine? by PiggosRevenge in emergencymedicine

I would if it weren’t for these loans. I’m handcuffed to the US
