I took my immune system out back of the woodshed and killed it TWICE to teach it to act better and… So far it kinda worked? Amazing. Anyway if there’s a problem we can just kill it again!

Fancy! I am honestly just planing to go to the grocery store. My rule is that if a grocery store has real wasabi in season, they can be trusted with sushi and poke. :) Not that I ever get the real wasabi 💸💸💸. It’s the principle.

Basic bedside US in EM (POCUS). It was still a bit novel when I was finishing my training, most med students and residents are very savvy and this will dramatically improve care in the long run

💯 I learned a very little as a student, I wouldn’t say it was cutting edge when I was a resident but it still seemed new and leading edge in EM, now it’s just in the water

Gene therapy. In med school, I learned that SMA was a sad, fatal disease. 10 years later, babies that universally used to die are now growing up. Now there are hundreds of gene therapies being studied.

I graduated in 2008 old enough to have written many sliding scales young enough that even at the time it seemed like it could/should be easily automated
