The Trump govt forbids a peace activist access to the States. You'll end up more isolated than the ones you lock up, you american lot.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.
My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.
I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.
✊URGENT ACTION NEEDED
⌛The UN says 14 000 babies are at risk of dying from starvation
🌍Tomorrow, 21 May, take part in a global fast for Gaza
🕯️At 6 PM we will gather in Parliament Square in London for a vigil.
🚫The UK Government must sanction Israel IMMEDIATELY
There is no "competing viewpoint" in science. There are proofs or there aren't. It is so sad to see american democracy die, by the hand of people who don't even dare to call themselves dictators.
So often misunderstood in the ED...
I would argue that a POCUS scan should have been performed well before the CT scan. A dysfunctional RV would have supported the need for contrast.
Plus I would have never started pressors and massive fluid administration without a glimpse of the LV.
A powerful statement from the great @glaucomflecken.bsky.social, endless source of funny jokes and thoughtful quotes. Patients and doctors, we are all in it together.
Such fun to work together @rob-cosentini.bsky.social! And so cool to share ideas beyond medical knowledge.
Promise you will get more granular statements there!
Resgistration and full info at
ccusinstitute.wixsite.com/ccus/events/... It would be great to see you there!
#hr2025 coming up May 22-23 in Montreal! Much as I've taught there, I've always got home feeling that I had learnt more. Not just a stellar faculty, a bunch of truly welcoming people who will talk us into loads of cutting edge concepts

Thrilled to meet!
Great thread, as always! It's never stressed enough: IVC is NOT a linear measure of loading status, just a very dynamic variable that you must fit in the whole context. It forces us to think, and that's a good thing.
just posted my leave message on X, stating Musk is intoxicating the platform. Got an immediate like from him. Plainly algorithm says "like any text with m-u-s-k". Isn't that toxic enough? To hell with X.
It's all about being old (both me and the machines)
@andrelandi.bsky.social welcome!
Love this thread, Katie! Not a pearl, just a trick: to enhance B lines, put the focus level with the pleural line and stretch the TGC from minimum superficial to maximun deep (for the novices, that's the horizontal slides, see picture)
Can't wait to be there!
Migrated over from the other place 🐣 to check out these blue skies 🦋
In the meantime - registration for the Hospitalist and the Resuscitationist #HR25 is open!! May 22-23 in Montreal 🇨🇦
There’s no better gathering of hemodynamic and physiology enthusiasts 🩺

This is another crucial event https://youtu.be/-IYSje0rvP8?si=mCauunUtkBUjdA19
In these dark days commitment to promote peace, mutual recognition and reconciliation should have worldwide support.
Please read, enquire and maybe join in. Kindle the unexpected hope, succeed where governments fail...
Reported a tweet describing migrants as "vermin colonisers" filing it as per X supposed rules as inciting prejudice against minorities + insulting language. After their examination, "it doesn't infringe our rules". Time to abandon X muskland. Ping @ZoeJardiniere @hopenothate
A bunch of crucial questions and loads of thoughts on palliative care from @msiuba at @HandRConference. A talk that may not provide you technical skills and yet make you a better physician.

Thanks @MaxHockstein! Never had such fun talking ECGs, mate. @HandRConference
