Keck Medicine of USC’s Post

This Monday's post is hopefully something to help you get off the fence and get your goals set for next year. I personally feel that the general acceptance of mediocrity will be the downfall of our culture. I do not want a mediocre Brain Surgeon, Pilot, Chef or Tailor just because someone feels they should have a "fair chance" in one of those positions. Without incentive and reward to achieve greatness, there will be none. Patrick Mahomes makes $52.7 MILLION per year not counting bonuses and endorsements. That's almost $145,000 every single day.... No, I don't begrudge him for that as he has proven to be one of the best at what he does. But why do we accept this as reasonable for someone who literally plays a game, but we don't accept it for ourselves in our professional lives? Is he a great swimmer, or tennis player? I have no idea. Don't concentrate on your weaknesses to become average at those skills, but concentrate on your strengths to become exceptional at those skills that you already are good at. Would a brain surgeon practice Dermatology to become "more well rounded"? That would be ridiculous. So, set goals that work on your strengths and stretch you to become the elite. Don't allow yourself to be average at anything. Here is wishing you all the best 2024 possible!

I strongly agree with the analysis and conclusion of this letter: “The present guidelines leave us with limited recommendations regarding intra-arrest ventilation for our clinical practice. We might should have learned to consider tidal volumes as well, as measuring tidal volumes had already been suggested by Ornato in 1983.” #Hyperventilation is not the biggest problem. #TidalVolume delivery affected by leakage management is the main factor impacting survival and outcomes as outlined by recent research. Now you have the possibility to monitor tidal volume delivery with #EOlife from Archeon Medical
