Hi Scott! You are one of my few heroes who can discuss maybe 20 hours of journal club material in 12 minutes. And more effectively. 1. I’ve been using 1500 units of Kcentra ( prob after one of your pods) for years … will cut to 1000 now. 2.

Excellent, thank you very much!

if i recall , i actually heard dr Goldfrank (of rob hoffman) say flumazenil might be helpful if you have an acutely altered patient that you suspect may be acutely poisoned with a benzo (eg, suicide attempt), and may need intubating.

i think that’s accurate.
