Working in the ED last night when at 3 am someone signed in with the chief complaint of 3 days of ear pain.

A New Jersey paramedic documented what it's like treating coronavirus patients
Health care professionals signed up to take care of people and save lives. They did not sign up to martyr themselves in a system unprepared to protect them in the face of an emergency.

the cdc and united states government @ healthcare workers running out of ppe in the midst of a pandemic:
Essential employee is a weird way of saying expendable employee.
This hit hard

I wish that everyone could die the way my patient did.
They were compassionately extubated, started on a fentanyl drip, and kept comfortable with classical music dancing through the air. They were surrounded by their spouse and children. The love for him was so evident, so pure - it filled the room with a sense of warmth and comfort.
The residents and myself stayed with the family who shared so many lovely stories. His favorite books, favorite foods- how he met his wife. As he lay there dying, with a BP of 40/20, he was so peaceful. His wife held his hand and tucked back his hair.
“You are beautiful and there is nothing to be afraid of.”
With a light gasp, he was gone.
I have seen so much death. Much of it lacks dignity. It is violent. It is prolonged. People suffer. This death was not that. This death was so refreshingly beautiful and quintessentially humane that it reaffirmed everything we hear about death but don’t want to accept.
That death can beautiful. That death can be peaceful, even joyous. That death is inevitable but it doesn’t have to be scary.
I wish every person could die this way. That they could be celebrated by those that love them and cared for them. There is still pain for the family. There is still grief. However, besides being born, this is THE universal human experience. We are all destined to die- I just hope we all are lucky enough to experience it in a dignified and loving way.
This week we talk with a pediatric transport nurse, talk about medical fraud on the internet, and finish up with a discussion on how hospital falls are bogus.

The Tenth Law Of Trauma
Several years ago, I ran a series of posts on my Laws of Trauma. I assembled them into newsletter that contained all nine that existed at the time. If you’d like to download it, just click this link.
I’ve been struck by another pattern, and I think it’s about time to add the tenth law. Weirdly enough, it was inspired by Dancing With The Stars. You’ll see what I mean.
Here is the Tenth Law of Trauma:
“In trauma, it generally takes two to tango”
So what does this mean? When dealing with injury, there are a few broad quantitative categories.
Single person mechanism. This is one extreme. Common examples would be the elderly fall, a single vehicle car crash, or a self-inflicted stab or gunshot. There is a single “point of failure” that only the individual involved can manage, but for various reasons they do not or cannot. This law does not apply.
Multiple person mechanism. This is the other extreme, and thankfully is not seen very often at all. Examples are a tour bus crash, house explosion, or mass casualty event. Once again, those involved usually have little ability to recognize or avoid the imminent event, and the tenth law is null and void.
Two person mechanism. This one is very common, and is exemplified by the two car crash, pedestrian struck, or the various flavors of assault. And this is the one that the tenth law applies to.
When two people are involved in an event that leads to traumatic injury, there is usually (but certainly not always) a set of checks and balances that is present. And frequently there is at least one opportunity to avoid the event.
In the case of a two vehicle crash, one driver may have “gone off the reservation” and ignored the usual traffic laws for whatever reason. But the second driver usually has an opportunity to recognize this and change their behavior in order to avoid the situation. However, if they are distracted, impaired, or making assumptions about how other driver behave they can still get into trouble. Thus, it takes two.
What about the pedestrian struck? Likewise, the driver or the pedestrian may have done something nonstandard. Wear dark clothes at night. Glance at their phone while driving. Look at their passenger a bit too long while having a conversation. Once again, the other participant may have an opportunity to see the result of this unexpected behavior and jump or swerve out of the way.
Interpersonal violence it a bit more tricky. Sure, one of the potential participants may get wind that something is up and try to avoid or defuse the situation. But not always. And this situation is heavily charged with emotion and social pressures and is much more difficult to change or avoid.
Bottom line: Many, but certainly not all, “two-person” mechanisms of injury are avoidable if both of the individuals involved are mentally present and attentive to their surroundings. Look at your own patient population and see how often this applies. You may be surprised!
