Excited about my broader role and to see my protege advancing in her career. Metro Life Flight is dear to me but I know Dr. DeMarco will take good care of the program and bring new ideas to the table. Plus I still get to fly and help teach!
Congratulations to our MetroHealth attendings, Dr. Craig Bates and Dr. Jen DeMarco 🎉
Dr. Bates has been promoted to the Division Director of EMS for MetroHealth! @cbatesmd
Dr. DeMarco will be taking over as the Metro Life Flight Medical Director! @JDemarcoEM

Finally! Anybody out there flying the Hamilton T1 vent in a @MetroAviation program in an EC145 or BK117? If so, talk to me about your mounting solution please. Thanks!

That's what I'm thinking too. Shout out to @FOAMfrat @christifulli88 for mapping his scene vent workflow, seems like it's makes sense and would work. teapaw.org/christifulli88/status/… – at Williamsburg, OH
@washingtonpost error in your recently released article by Iati and Knowles - says R0 number in England is below 0 which is impossible - it should say below 1 which is what the linked article says washingtonpost.com/nation/20…
Here is what article says "...British officials estimated that the virus’s reproduction rate, known as R0 and pronounced “r-naught,” was below zero and falling by up to 2 percent per day..." and links to gov.uk/guidance/the-r-number…
Citizen participation is the cornerstone of an effective democracy - kudos to election officials for allowing these people to vote
These photos via @stltoday are quite something: Voters infected with Covid-19 cast their ballots with the help of election staffers covered in PPE.

ACEP Policy Statement:
"The use of PEFR monitoring during the ED eval and management of adult patients with acute exacerbations of asthma has not been shown to improve outcomes, reliably predict the need for admissions, or limit morbidity or mortality."

I applaud Life FLight on their transparency on this incident.
It provides the opportunity to learn from others mistakes.
I know of 2 recent incidents - totaled aircraft in which the programs chose to "sweep it under the rug" with zero media coverage.

I would love @jducanto to study difference in airborne droplet generation with #SALAD technique vs. standard intubation.
Very easy sell to get THAT published!! #HEMS #EMS @MikeSteuerwald @cbatesmd @FLTDOC1 @UCAirCareDoc @NC_ACEP @DrDStuhlmiller

If you didn’t already realize our house of medicine needs to do its own introspection, the largest emergency medicine doc group on FB is kicking out and blocking multiple POC for even asking that the issue of racism is discussed. #medtwitter – at Dallas, TX

Blocked! I guess I'll take this as a compliment?
“This accident was all but invited by the actions and culture of @SurvivalFlights,” said @NTSB Chairman Robert L. Sumwalt.

Watch this AMAZING dynamic MRI showing what happens to airway with various anatomical head and neck positions
This is exactly why basic airway maneuvers save lives!

Absolute horse shit. How do they even make this stuff up? Fear mongering in the name of preserving corporate profits. Absolutely nothing to do with the reality of actual patient needs and outcomes.
Please -lets debate in an open forum.

I agree as well - it’s a privilege to be given a chance to comment on this situation. The article did a great job of bringing out the issues that matter most. I hope that pubs like @verticalmag can continue to apply pressure to bring positive change
Thanks to @SharkParsons and @verticalmag for covering this critically important story, and for the opportunity to comment.
