Medscape has some interesting articles from this past week that are worth a look…

I don’t know about you, but last week I reached my news saturation point. By Friday night I had to shut down my electronics and just get away from all of it. (My eyes needed a break, as the brilliant Amy Poehler stated.) So a lot of what I’ve been reading *isn’t* about Boston, but [...]

Medscape has an interesting article looking at the ethical and legal challenges in disaster medicine. No CEs attached to it, unfortunately, but it does make some fascinating points.

We are working to increase donations to the fund.  Help us [...]

Not surprisingly, I have had an influx of emails this week from nurses asking about formal opportunities to assist in disasters. Coincidentally, Medscape published this article at the beginning of the month that I had intended to post. As with all Medscape articles you must log-in to read it; membership is free. What’s particularly helpful [...]

The Day After

October 30, 2012 | 1 Comment

We are very fortunate to have ridden out the storm with relatively little damage. But following along on Twitter last night for real time updates, it was clear many of you did not. And many of you were in the thick of things, in the hospitals and on the streets, responding to the crisis and [...]

A slightly abbreviated list of things I’ve been reading since last we spoke, as we anticipate worsening weather (with potential power outages) as Sandy hits. Hope everyone in the storm’s path is hunkered down, safe and warm (and dry).
