Some background information about me:
- I'm an emergency resident chief at a large university hospital in Manhattan with tight copyright control, a view of central park, and affiliated with large public hospital in Queens
- clinical interests include airway, critical care, and focused ultrasound
- broader interests are healthcare delivery & policy, i.e. the meta-issues of who to practice airway, critical care, and focused ultrasound on
- other relevant overlapping areas of interest include education and pall care
- general philosophy is the intersection of EMCrit & SMART-EM, sprinkled with Emergency Medical Abstracts and obscure movie references
- some specific topics I enjoy include crowding, unhelpful/harmful treatments (e.g. lasix in CHF, BB in MI, and PPIs in GIB) and tests
- incidentally, I edit the Images of the Week at emedcentral
