In January I got very sick (flu like illness but much worse), no sleep for 2 days and almost checked myself into the ED. Had no idea what it was. Today I checked my #COVID19 Antibody status......IgG+ Only (sign of past infection). Mixed emotions🙄. Will retest tomorrow.

6 year old Izzy had a post-tonsillectomy bleed at home. She was hypotensive and unresponsive when her Dad called 911. Her Dad happens to be one of our District Chiefs at @PBCFR . When he called 911 he said “Send the whole blood.” Hearing the 911 call, seeing the emotion from

These are available in the US and have been used widely in China. I am trying to get these in from China to test my medics on the front lines. I have no relationship with the manufacturer. Happy to share our results in 3 weeks or so once we’ve collected a good amount of data.

Caring for a family who has lost a child is truly difficult. This paper, a must read, is the first that asks the parents what they would want from HCPs. This table provides an in depth summary. Please DM me for the full paper. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31206499

Why do I love the @NAEMSP conference? I’m holding freeze dried plasma from a single donor in my hand. It’s the weight of a few pieces of paper and can be kept non-refrigerated for months Reconstitute it with 200 mL and it’s ready to be administered. This will be a panacea
