☑️HALLOWEEN 2022 @AirwayMxAcademy and @dasairway airway nightmare case🎃You are a critical care doc and decorating your ultimate Halloween party👻underwater cave with a healthy friend. The room is now flooding with water and your friend falls down on the rocks…oops😳1/13 #meded Image
2/13 “Are you okay?”Yes but I have difficulty breathing and it hurts. There is 1 scuba🤿unit, and you see a HFNO device & oxygen cylinder. You know that underwater breathing is possible with HFNO. How much flow is needed to swim 0,5 m below surface & b able 2breath underwater?
3/13 First you check the oxygen tubing which is long enough, than you check the class E oxygen cylinder: 1000 PSI. Save PSI 200. How much time/oxygen do you have at 40 l/min to swim underwater? #halloweenairway #foamed #foamcc #airway

1/ It’s been a week.

It’s well into Friday evening & I just got off the phone with a patient who had urgent radiology results. This was after spending > 40 min on the phone w another patient discussing the same this afternoon.

(18 more to come; stick with me.)
2/ I only got 2 items on today’s long “to do” list done — but that’s on me. I was finally able to sit down for a couple hours uninterrupted and dig deep into a few patient cases from the week.

(And I “don’t work” on Fridays.)
3/ As I hung up the phone, I reflected on how #directprimarycare has enabled me to get to the heart of medicine & the doctor-patient relationship.

During that call, my patient’s spouse broke down and — through sobs — simply said: “Thanks for being so kind.”
