Swedish doctor, interested in patients. Trying to figure out how to improve emergency care, with a fair amount of skeptisism. Huge fan of #FOAMed.

I am a firm believer that value and values will and should guide patient care - at the individual as well as at system level. Today our article on value-focused thinking and disposition decision was published in Health Care Analysis. rdcu.be/fu812
There’s something wrong in our system when junior doctors provide the best care for complex patients because they have the broadest knowledge and deepest interest in patient care.
This attitude is more problematic to me than any sexist comment. It holds women back (or keeps them from having children).

Very easy to be inspiring when one has had such inspiration
The message to those dedicating themselves to the development of emergency medicine:
Make everything you do about the PATIENT, not the SPECIALTY
That is the Emergency Medicine we learned from John Hinds

Watching @DrSusEM talk about patient safety and preparedness in the ED at the 10th Serbian international EM conference. Makes be proud to be an emergency physician. We learn and improve together, all over the world. @cliffreid
#EuSEM2024 is such a wonderful mixture of speakers from all parts of Europe. EM is developing so rapidly. Prof Karamercan from Turkey is going through lots of large multicenter studies and the importance of EM research.
Daniel Wilhelms is talking about the risks of changing electronic health records and the need for a contingency plan. #EUSEM2024
Editor of Emergencias Óscar Miró says some papers need to be published even if they will never be cited just to raise awareness . Great talk about the selection process at #EuSEM2024
Video distraction for agitated elderly patients in the ED seems to work. Lots to do with improving ED environment. I’d love to have a room for patients in pain.
#EUSEM2024 is celebrating full EM specialty recognition in Spain and the Netherlands. There is a lot of hard work behind that achievement. Hope to welcome Germany to the Euro-EM family next time.
Can’t wait to come back and hear about your achievements during the past ten years! EM takes time to evolve but once you’ve started there is no turning back.
Assessing exams is an excellent indicator of persistent myths and misconceptions. Would be interesting to create an international myth exam. What questions would you add?
I think of the A-E as an assessment of functions. Is the airway functioning well? How is breathing and circulation functioning and what is the trajectory? Findings during auscultation or palpation are just informational pieces in that assessment.
Not convinced that the A-E approached is very helpful for teaching med students the initial approach to medical emergencies. It is often not used as a rapid assessment but includes investigations and treatment. You can’t treat a wheeze until you have assessed circulation.

My non-medical friends: What’s the CRAZIEST thing you’ve seen in the emergency department?
Me: An elderly patient with a brain bleed lying on a hallway stretcher for 30+ hours.
