Prehospital epinephrine at a dose of 1 mg every 3-5 minutes does NOT increase neurologically intact survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Is it time to limit total epi dose? nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…

We modestly cut the dose of epinephrine 5+ years ago without much change in outcome. Maybe we need to cut the dose more. I'm up for a dose ranging trial. resuscitationjournal.com/art…

This is the wrong approach - Anthem is jeopardizing patient safety! "It's terrifying to know that they [ANTHEM] have so much control over me, to put this fear in me that I'm not going back to the emergency room." #StopAnthemBCBS #FairCoverage wsbtv.com/news/2-investigate…
