Sorry to get political, but the new Trump tariffs are what your economic policy would result in if you put literal gibberish economic grievances as AI prompts.

Having worked in Emergency Medicine for 4 years, I think we should not be feeling guilty for taking a sick day or time off, even for trivial reasons. Obviously within reason, but you don’t have to justify it to anybody. Too often I see people force themselves to work when their head is not in it.

Finally finished Indiana Jones and the Great Circle after inching through it for the past month. Game is simply amazing, the graphics and presentation are top notch. The story is actually better than some of the movies. Personal 9.5/10.

Me in 2014 with no kids: iPads look cool I guess but I don’t really see the need to have one? Me in 2024 with two small children on a 6-hour flight: iPads are worth tens of millions of dollars and it is a miracle that the market makes them available for a fraction of their true value

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok? Signed, a librarian.

#EMedsky #EMsky Friendly reminder that analgesia is a relatively benign intervention that absolutely should be on your to-do list for almost every patient who arrives at your ED. Check if they are on one, and if not, prescribe some. No, it won't make the abdominal exam give a "false negative".

Rabies virus is the most lethal virus. Neuroinvasive rabies is a death sentence. I cannot stress this enough: if you have any physical contact with a bat—especially a bite—get treatment immediately. If it gets into your central nervous system, you will die horribly. www.sfgate.com/bayarea/arti...

Skytorial: Five pearls on olanzapine 😁 Between agitation and nausea/vomiting, olanzapine has a wide range of use. Olanzapine is generally not a front-line agent (e.g., haloperidol or ondansetron often are). But sometimes, it really comes in clutch....
