This is a win! Now let’s make sure it’s offered at an affordable price OTC, continued to be covered by insurances, and offered free in many of the places where people who use drugs are most likely to seek it out
Today is a good day!
Thanks to all who have worked to make this widely available! via @NYTimes @MDQuincy @theNNTweet @salisburyafshar @ICEPemergency @ChiRecoveryAlli @CookCountyEM @toxikonchicago nytimes.com/2023/03/29/healt…
Sharing a (temporarily) free link to our qualitative study of patient perspectives on seeking emergency care for low back pain and access to physical therapy in the emergency department: authors.elsevier.com/a/1gYy8…
Filled out two squares on my fatherhood/PEM bingo card this week: ED visit for bronchiolitis for kid 2, call from school nurse for kid 1 sticking a bead up her nose. Must urgently find and destroy all button batteries and magnets in the house now…
See below for our commentary re: this week's @JAMA_current tramadol study and potential mechanisms of tramadol-related harm. Also recommend reading the 2015 @JAMAInternalMed tramadol commentary by Nelson and Juurlink.

Free link to our @AnnalsofEM article on lessons learned from implementing ED take-home naloxone programs at 7 Chicago-area hospitals (no paywall until 10/9/20): authors.elsevier.com/a/1bbrC…
So true. I used to complain about what EMS didn't do for the patient or what history they didn't obtain. Then I spent 2wks riding w/ @DHParamedics and saw what incredible obstacles EMS has to overcome just to bring a patient to the ED. Now I only say "thank you" and listen.
Next time you decide to continue chit-chatting with your colleagues or ignore EMS report, maybe consider what that EMS provider had to experience just to deliver that patient to your controlled environment with endless resources. #listen #colleagues #changetheculture #MedTwitter
A couple illustrative stories: EMS call to a basement apartment. The place was in disrepair, rodents/roaches everywhere, multiple birdcages with squirrels (?!) in them.
Incredibly proud of @NorthwesternEM chief and future @NationalCSP fellow @vidyaeswaran for leading this multi-system report of ED take-home naloxone implementation! annemergmed.com/article/S019…
We hold this truth to be self-evident:
"You buy a cookie, you eat the whole cookie" - @theNNTweet and @patricklank help us prepare for Illinois' legalization of recreational marijuana 1/1/2020 #emconf @NorthwesternEM
TL;DR: We have turkey sandwiches and sprite.
Why do patients come to the emergency department after using cannabis? tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Hey #medtwitter, does anyone have a resource to teach ED providers how to have a conversation with patients re: MAT? #opioidcrisis #foamed

A new @NationalCSP class of clinical scholars starts soon; I am thinking of lessons to share. My @ncspMICHIGAN Practica 1 research w/ @kekocher had a LONG incubation period to publication. Perseverance is KEY!!! #CVofFailures #visualabstract #getyourmanuscriptout
So true. Love the example. Would be great for every Grand Rounds talk to begin or end with a “CV of failures!”
