Love all of the support this doctor got in the comments of the original video. I want to protect his privacy so I won’t be tagging the original creator, who posted this with the clear intent of shaming the ER staff. Not only is taking pictures/video in the hospital without written consent against almost all hospitals’ policies, it may be illegal in certain jurisdictions in a private setting without two party consent. #emergencymedicine #mentalillness #ernurse #ems #emt #greenscreenvideo
Reposting now that the Astroworld documentary is on Netflix. What an absolute nightmare. According to my favorite medical search engine @OpenEvidence , if you fall during a crowd collapse and are unable to get back up: curl into a ball with knees to the chest and use your arms to protect your head and neck. This may reduce the risk of fatal compressive injury. #astroworld #astroworldfestival #travisscott #crowdcrush
We can diagnose A LOT of causes for abdominal pain in the ER. Here’s a list of some of the many diagnoses that are extremely difficult to make from the ER’s perspective. If you suffer from chronic abdominal/pelvic pain, I sincerely hope you get answers and some much needed relief 🙏 #abdominalpain #pelvicpain #physician #nurse #emergencymedicine #ernurse #np #physicianassistant #gi
I am so disturbed by this in so many ways 🤣 Thoughts: 1) I’d like to see this thing safely carry an average sized US patient (not fat shaming here, just being real) 2) I’m imagining someone with a spinal fracture riding on the back of this mechanical donkey 😱 3) Technology WILL save the backs of medical workers one day… but this ain’t it!!! #healthcare #ems #emt #paramedic #physician #nurse #nursepractitioner #physicianassistant #residency #greenscreenvideo
Thanks to her medical team keeping a cool head and successfully resuscitating her, she may be the one that saves someone else’s critically ill child 🫶 #emergencymedicine #erdoc #ernurse #physician #nursepractitioner #physicianassistant #medstudent #medicalschool #residency

If a child or adult is choking: 1) Remain calm 2) Assess whether the person needs rescue attempts or not, if they are coughing on their own, let them continue, this is their best chance to expel that foreign body. Immediately attempt rescue if they have: ➡️ Weak or no cough ➡️ High-pitched squeaking noises or no sound ➡️ Pale or blue skin color ➡️ Unable to cough, speak or cry ➡️ Holding throat with hands 3) Have someone call 911 and attempt rescue maneuvers: ➡️ Give 5 back blows. Use the heel of the hand to strike between the shoulder blades (see images in video for positioning or adult/child/infant) ➡️ If no improvement and over 1 year of age, attempt 5 abdominal thrusts (aka Heimlich maneuver). If less than 1, perform chest thrusts. ➡️ Continue alternating 5 back blows & 5 abdominal thrusts (or if under 1, 5 back blows & 5 chest thrusts) until pt is coughing, speaking, or crying ➡️ If patient becomes unresponsive, initiate CPR Follow for more potentially life saving content 🤜🤛 #emergencymedicine #ems #emt #physician #nurse #nursepractitioner #physicianassistant #medschool
