From blind intubations to RSI
From jamming tubes down noses to 4K video, medicine has evolved. Modern meds like Sux and a "menu" of VL/DL tools make airway management safer and more humane. Don't take current tech for granted! #MedHistory #FOAMed #AirwayManagement

Pioneers and pathbreakers: Black History milestones at Michigan Medicine As part of the celebration and examination of U-M medical history, an overview of some of the key Black Americans who learned, taught, worked and led at the Medical School and beyond.

I first wrote this story about important people of color in @umich.edu #medhistory a few years ago. Now, for #BlackHistoryMonth, I expanded it, adding more on aspects of our history that deserve examination, as well as celebration.

Here it is:

a man wearing glasses and an orange suit is making a funny face and saying nerd alert . Alt: Mike Myers as Austin Powers saying nerd alert

Had a blast talking about the #medhistory of polio at the University of Michigan tonight at Ann Arbor’s Nerd Nite gathering presented by @aadl.org !
Scientists & med folks, this is a great way to get #scicomm practice - find out if there’s a Nerd Nite org near you and if they need speakers!

Advertisement discussing "consumption, scrofula, hypochondria, insanity, gout, king's evil, and other and worse diseases"

An 1850s ad talked about scrofula and the king's evil as separate conditions. My understanding is that scrofula & the king's evil were the same thing (Tuberculous lymphadenitis).

Has anyone seen them being treated as distinct?
