  3. Guys, if you’re in #emergencymedicine please do not even put anxiety on your differential until you have done a very thorough medical workup AND the patient has reported feeling anxious. It is a diagnosis of exclusion. “Anxiety” is the diagnosis on the chart the day before the patient dies from their blood clot, arrhythmia, thyroid storm, sepsis, hemorrhagic shock, or overdose. It is a bullshit diagnosis unless you have a clear patient-reported history of anxiety.

  5. Here’s another #emergencymedicine rant —

    Critical and time-sensitive test result from a visit two days ago? Phone number disconnected? Don’t just send a certified letter. Call the emergency contact for the patient. Search other records for alternative phone numbers. If that doesn’t work, send the fire, EMS, or cops on a wellfare check (with explicit directions like “they have something that will kill them, they NEED to come to the ER RIGHT NOW”).

    Do the work. You’d want it done for you.

  12. Controversial point for my #Emergencymedicine colleagues:

    The new trauma guidelines requiring an emergency physician in all level IV trauma centers just mean we’ll have fewer rural trauma centers. It’s asinine, dangerous, and does a disservice to patients.

    PAs and NPs can suck. They can also be good. ER docs aren’t that common, and rural sites can’t afford them. The ones who work in rural level IVs are the soon-to-retired, incompetent docs, or a few good ones who hate city medicine.

  22. How 99 Ways to Die Might Save Your Life-a book review

    In this post I review "99 Ways to Die and How to Avoid Them." Dr. Ashely Alker, an emergency physician, humorously outlines various health risks and preventive measures. Combining personal anecdotes with medical insights, she emphasizes the importance of awareness in avoiding fatal incidents and advises readers to prioritize health habits over misinformation, and seeking medical care as soon as possible.

  23. The Glasgow Coma Scale

    on what it got right without knowing it In 1974, two doctors published a fourteen-line paper introducing a simple bedside scoring system for unconscious patients. They called it the Glasgow Coma Scale. It measured three things — whether patients opened their eyes, whether they spoke, whether they moved — assigned numbers to each, and added them up. The paper contained no theory of consciousness. No philosophy, no neuroscience, no claims about what awareness actually is. It was a […]

Anyone in PDX interested in a fun experiment being run right now might consider doing a study of heavy metal levels in the blood of people gassed by ICE during recent and upcoming marches. We know many gas grenades have heavy metals in them, so there may be a publishable public health concern here. Just a thought after recent events…

  29. 12 Hours Shift – Counting Down My Hours Each Time At Work

    Related Posts:

    How do you waste the most time every day?

    At the time of writing this article, which was back in June 2025, I was going through my 6th Rotation of my Housemanship which is in the Department of Emergency and Trauma. As a House Officer in the Emergency Department, we go by the 12-hours shift.

    This meant, our shift is from:

    • AM Shift: 7am till 7pm
    • PM Shift: 10am till 10pm
    • Night Shift: 10pm till 10am

    In this department, they are strict in regards to adhering to a minimum of 60 hours per week in total. Thus, in a week, our schedule is as follows;

    • A total of at least 4 daytime shifts (AM or PM Shifts)
    • One night shift
    • One off day

    That is provided one has off-tagged of course.

    Perhaps, it is the “last paper syndrome” that I was experiencing being in the 6th and final rotation, I would be counting down my hours each day at work. Thus, upon arrival at work, I would start my “12-hours countdown“ on my phone.

    On slow days, I made it a point to go to toilet every hour, technically my so-called “hourly break” whereas on busy days, the toilet break is the only time I could take a break. This is followed by ensuring I have at least one meal per day during my shift.

    Otherwise, the schedule in the emergency department is relatively better as compared to my previous rotations. Nevertheless, the tiredness is still there.
