Lawsuit Cites Trauma Alerts And Sepsis Alerts
Doctors allege non-physicians activate codes
In the North Carolina whistleblower complaint, the doctors said unnecessary trauma codes were typically activated by a non-physician, often a physician’s assistant, who was given little time to make an actual assessment.
After April 15, 2020, when TeamHealth started delivering contracted services to Mission Hospital’s Emergency Department, the number of trauma activations surged, according to the lawsuit.
On one busy ER shift in May 2022, Ramming...

Active Shooter Policies and Patient Abandonment
When I searched the last thread on this topic was quite old. I recently had to go through active shooter training from my hospital and it was the standard run-hide-fight. I am curious if anyone here knows of any court cases regarding patient abandonment during an active shooter with resulting malpractice or criminal charges? Likely stickier, what about those times the hospital calls a lockdown but it turns out later not to be an active shooter event?
Love to hear anyone's thoughts. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Want to practice with a different name
I'm currently a medical student, but as a doctor/resident, I want to practice with a name that is not my last name. For context, the name I want to use is legally part of my name, technically one of my middle names on most documents. I was wondering if anyone knows if it would be possible to practice with that name without removing my last name legally. It was my mother's maiden name which she practiced under and I'd like to continue that. Could I just tell my employers to use that name...

Alright ... How did EMDR really become a thing?
Post-Bacc here who is pretty research oriented and into trauma treatment.
I know that EMDR "works" because it's essentially "PE Lite", but I really need to know how this took off? I won't lie in saying the first time I read the eye movement stuff I honestly was taken back because there are medical interventions in StarTrek that have less outlandish evidence behind it. At this point it's led me to wonder how I haven't heard any big lawsuits regarding EMDR practice just because of its...

AAEM ’s Prez on Envision bankruptcy
Just got this email
Dear Dr. xxxxxxxxxx
Today’s news that private equity-backed, physician-staffing company Envision Healthcare initiated a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing underscores the risks of Contract Management Group (CMG) influence in emergency departments.
Envision’s bankruptcy filing does not, however, change the status of our lawsuit against the company looking to prohibit it from taking over the emergency department contract at Placentia Linda Hospital, part of the Tenet system...

Pending Misdemeanor - ERAS Applications
Hey everyone, I'm a rising USMD MS4/current MS3 beginning the process now to apply for residencies. However, I royally royally screwed up. I have a pending charge (not currently in the system) for an OWI misdemeanor. At this time, I have retained a lawyer; however, he does not think he could plead me down, considering that I received it in a harsh county. So I'm coming to ask for some advice; my lawyer states that I could prolong the conviction till after the submission of ERAS. But in my...

Wamc - orm, 3.85, 518,
My biggest concern is not having a legal state of residence. I lived in a midwestern state for elementary and middle school, but my family moved back to our home country for high school. For college, I went to UCSD because my cousins lived in SD. I have all my legal documents (car registration, DL, bank) linked to my cousin's home in Cali. I don't think I am considered an international applicant since I have had a green card since elementary school (never bothered to apply for citizenship...

Doing locums work directly?

Why on earth should these (often useless) middlemen make so much?
Of course if I did it on my own there would be additional expenses -- additional insurances, probably a lawyer to help me with contracts, additional accounting etc. Also, I know that...

Is this just a typical inpatient job
