Sometimes I read a note in the chart and I end up knowing even less than I started 🤦‍♂️

ACE = “ace” AIDS = “aids” GERD = “gerd” PEEP = “peep” BUN = “omg did you just pronounce it ‘bun’ that’s crazy where did you go to school why are you here omg hey you’ll never guess what this guy just said…”

Hi, I’m an ICU Pharmacist and I wrote a feature film. We shoot this summer.

Stop trying to make albumin happen, it’s NOT going to happen! “…albumin administration was safe but did not improve 90-day survival in patients with septic shock…” jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Today’s the 13th so let’s talk more about our feature film THIRTEEN WEEKS. Logline: Two sisters, both traveling ICU nurses, clash over the idea of settling down as the idealistic sister falls for a good-natured pharmacist while the cynical sister bickers with a handsome, but proud, physician.

When they say “what’s the harm in one more day of antibiotics?”

Now that we’re talking about apixaban, I can re-ask a question I’ve never gotten a clear answer on: If you transition from heparin to apixaban for VTE, do you always do the full 7 days of 10 mg BID, or can you shorten that duration by how many days the patient received heparin?

I know it’s been said, but these new PE guidelines are brutal to get through

Hospital skybridges are very cinematic #ThirteenWeeksMovie

The "..." in some of y'all's notes is LOUD 😂

Me: Okay honey it’s late so you need to go to sleep now. 3: Wait wait but I have to be Ditto. Me: …Okay… goodnight Ditto? 3: Ditto! Me: 🥰🥰🥰

1 month ago… Me: hey, you might like Pokémon My kids (6 & 3): what’s that? 1 month, 2 video games, 3 coloring books, 4 t-shirts, and 5 plushies later… My kids: we need more Pokémon stuff I couldn’t be prouder (but let’s wait on telling them about the trading cards)

How medications move around the hospital!

Happy International Women’s Day! This seems like a good time to mention that THIRTEEN WEEKS will have (at least) the following roles filled by women: Crew: -Director -Assistant Director -Producer Cast: -Lead role 1 -Lead role 2

In case you were wondering… Yes, it’s medical. 🏥💉 Yes, there’s a pharmacist. 👨‍⚕️💊

This pretty much sums everything up

Surgeon General is my backup plan

Does anyone have any experience using an Acetaminophen Absorption Test (AAT) in the assessment/treatment of patients?

How did we ever get Vanc d/c’d before the MRSA PCR??

Stop trying to make albumin happen, it’s NOT going to happen! “…albumin administration was safe but did not improve 90-day survival in patients with septic shock…” jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

The American College of Medical Toxicology updated their Practice Statement on Duration of IV Acetylcysteine Therapy following Acetaminophen Overdose. Can anyone tell me why this was necessary? See below for the 2016 (left) and 2026 (right) statements.

Nurse: Pharmacy still hasn’t sent up my Nimbex drip!!! Me: The DOW is over 50,000 right now

Clinical researchers: what are your tips for determining which journal(s) you want to submit your manuscript to?

Just a pharmacist getting vancomycin discontinued

If your medical guidelines don’t have a pharmacist co-author then what’s the point?

ICU colleagues: do you ever use midazolam (Versed) drips in non-intubated patients? If not, why not? If so, when?

Make sure to catch my abstract presentation at #SCCM2026! 874: A Retrospective Analysis of Patients With Septic Shock Treated With Angiotensin II Monday, March 23 at 11:30 AM-12:30 PM Connections Central - RST 16 See you there! @sccmcriticalcare.bsky.social

What it feels like when a physician doesn’t take your recommendation to d/c antibiotics

EPIC and retrospective research experts: if I want to find the exact time that sepsis is identified/diagnosed/alerted in a hospitalized patient, where can I look?

SCCM expresses heartbreak over the death of ICU nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis this past weekend. The Society extends its deepest condolences to his loved ones, colleagues, and the broader critical care community grieving this loss. Read SCCM’s full statement below.

One of the most harmful things is to pretend like you are incapable of doing anything wrong

Forgetting your hospital ID badge in the car.

“I knew he was using it,” she said, “but I had no idea it was even possible to go to this level.” This mother’s quote is not about the illicit substances her 19-year-old son was taking, but about the AI chatbot he was consulting for drug advice. www.sfgate.com/tech/article...

Happy January 12th to those that celebrate

Everyone should get paid time and a half when Epic is down

Taxonomists are so kruel

Nothing in medicine is more satisfying than being the one to fix the printer

My New Years Resolution is to close all my browser tabs

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

Scenario: Patient with severe DKA and Septic Shock 2/2 PNA. Orders include an insulin drip, broad-spectrum ABX, and IV fluids. Patient is also on one vasopressor and is about to start a second. Question: Would you give stress dose steroids to this patient?

You: Do you have any weapons of mass destruction formulated in a transdermal system? Me: I’m so glad you asked.

ICUs everywhere now: “Please give 100 mcg of the weapon of mass destruction.” “Start the WMD drip at 25 mcg/hr.” “Hey pharmacy, we’re out of weapons of mass destruction in the Pyxis!”

The toughest days working in the hospital are the ones that can strengthen your team the most

For those attending the ASHP MidYear Clinical Meeting, make sure to visit my pharmacy students' research poster this Tuesday! #ASHP25

This is your encouragement to start your New Years Resolution a month early! Why wait to do that positive thing you’ve been avoiding! 👏👏👏

When you think of "toast," you think of sliced bread browned by radiant heat. When I think of "toast," I think of the Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment. We are not the same.
