Cardiac arrest is an incredibly heterogenous condition. A witnessed VF arrest in a young person with an inherited electrical type heart condition who gets compressions and a shock on a gym basketball court can wake up and walk away normal.

This is Sick-Tok's greatest hits. I am a former special education teacher and current emergency medicine physician and have tremendous compassion for those who are truly dealing with life-limiting conditions like ASD and real EDS (th

Cardiologists pride themselves on the best acronyms in study titles I think. There's a lot of good ones out there.

This is a trash study and the title implying that this is an AHA statement is misleading. It was a data dredge associational study with minimal controlling for other covariates / risk factors for heart failure. The implication that mel

It's complicated. Physicians can own imaging equipment, for example, but they can't require you to use it for the radiology tests that they order. There are weird carve-outs for in-office ancillary services (e.g. you're an or

You need to have the sugar because it is required to transport sodium across the cell membrane in the intestine. Without the sugar you will not absorb the salt, which is what helps maintain hydration and electrolyte balance. This discovery

This is an oral presentation by a medical student at a meeting. I wouldn't change your life or approach to ASCVD risk reduction based on it.

Yes but it is the cause of many gastric ulcers and is undertested for at least in my community. Where I can easily do the test in the ER, I diagnose and treat many people with previously-unexplained epigastric abdominal pain syndromes.

My Halligan bar is my favorite tool I own. I've never used it for its intended purpose but it's super fun to hold and show people.

Cold water helps even more! Fun thing to find on HN. I just cited this study in a presentation given to our local paramedics on syncope / passing out.

The corresponding author on this is a very serious scientist, most of whose work is in metabolic resuscitation and cardiac arrest. It's cool to see him applying his skills to this leading cause of disability and suffering. I guarantee

That's great feedback. Thanks! I agree, icons would be helpful and could fit nicely into the aesthetic. I love that CookingForEngineers site. The original name I had suggested to her was Recipes for Engineers, since that was the vibe t

I love the open source model, and there's some good looking recipes here! Along similar lines, with similar goals, my wife and her dad have been building this as a pandemic project: https://www.recipereform.com/ -- I (

I can't believe they used the anal scan. This is too much like SmartPipe to be anything other than hilarious. It's where satire and reality meet back on the other side.

Pedantic point: If you’re intubation the esophagus, you’re doing it wrong. :-)

Am doctor. Routinely prescribe 1000 mg of Acetaminophen.

Thought for a second someone had posted this on HN: https://fridababy.com/products/windi - Which is a bit of a hack in itself, and one that I'm sure would have generated some interesting responses.

This is an interesting study but I have several methodologic concerns and feel like nobody is discussing conflict of interest here. This is done at an institute owned and managed by one researcher, recruited from attendees of a seminar on l

You're going to work as a "GP" with at most one third of the training of almost every other doctor in practice? Seems like you're shorting your future patients a bit. My advice as someone who sees a lot of patients who w

I disagree with some of the above posters. This is often confused with, but is not the same thing as, physician aid-in-dying or euthanasia. People do talk about this in hospitals, and it is appropriate treatment for many patients at the e

Please consider some kind of roll cage if you're going to put a 2-3 year-old into this. In the United States we see a tremendous number of toddlers who are very, very badly injured (or killed) in ATV rollover injuries. Obviously an ATV

What pain relievers are much more effective than acetaminophen, and much higher in terms of safety? NSAIDs are a huge cause of bleeding and renal insufficiency. Tylenol is actually pretty good at treating pain in appropriate doses. Definite

Their website looks like it was designed in FrontPage 2002: https://www.ambrosiaplasma.com - The whole thing is super weird. As someone who has an interest in transfusion medicine, I would absolutely not do this.

"Higher doses will lead to headaches and, paradoxically, tiredness and drowsiness — not stimulation." False. You're right in that it won't help them very much -- specifically because taking overdoses of amphetamines tend
