Doing some research today and discovered the heart of a grasshopper is a tube as thick as a strand of spaghetti and my day is infinitely better

Coming to the podcast soon!

1) Infection rate equal to rate with IJ (subclavian are cleaner)
2) Easier to place in the awake patient
3) 0% PTX rate (IJ ~ 0.5%, Subclavian ~ 1.5%)
4) Single prep for CVL + Art line

In fairness it was a very cheap airline! Crew insisted that I perform 5 minute obs… but didn’t offer even a cup of water!
Attended an in-flight emergency today… airline had exactly ZERO medications/ equipment or even PPE. the medical bag contained 10 amps of “ammonia” for uncertain purpose! Fascinating how an industry obsessed with safety does this! @kangaroobeach.bsky.social @first10em.bsky.social
Police then searched his car and found a dead cat in the trunk…
“Well it’s dead now…”
If you work in a hospital outside the metro centres … this is the conference for you to learn some sick skills cos: critical illness doesn’t respect geography
