10 years ago today, I experienced a bomb scene. I discovered every first aid & disaster course is incomplete. I am committed to amplifying the most-overlooked, most-important interval that could improve patient care. It is time to optimize improvised care in the #disastergap. 
Also called #caregap, the care within is initiated by #spontaneousresponders. Whether trained or untrained, spontaneous responders step up from within a scene itself, doing the best they can, with whatever they have available, to care for others, while experiencing scene hazards.
#SpontaneousResponders are not #firstresponders. They will not be invited to a debriefing. They also are not bystanders and may go home with scene trauma or blood on their clothes. The most overlooked group of rescuers in the most overlooked disaster interval, the #caregap.
🧵Ever wonder what therapists use for #Suicide prevention? We asked: therapists use current best practices (~90%) BUT ~40% of clinicians endorse contracts for safety, no-harm contracts, &/or no-suicide contracts (not good!) #MentalHealthAwareness link👇 1/7 #psychtwitter
We asked mental health (MH) clinicians & MH allies (teachers, #FirstResponders, peer support) what Best Practices (Crisis Response Planning & Safety Plan) & Contraindicated Practices (contract 4 safety, no-harm contract, &/or no-suicide contract) they use. 2/7
Mental health allies endorsed the Best Practices & Contraindicated Practices at lower rates than mental health clinicians. This leaves room for more training on best practices with a focus on removing interventions that don’t help. #PeerToPeer #PeerSupport 3/7

To compare the 3 south Florida counties’ drug #overdose data, each of them had an 83%+ increase of OD deaths from 2015 to 2016 📈. Then in 2018, all 3 saw a drop in their drug OD death count 📉.

My educated guess: the positive overdose death spikes in 2015 may be attributed to the rise of illicit fentanyl in the US. I’m not too sure about the negative spike in 2018. Keep in mind that 2018 was the ONLY year of nationwide #overdose death decline since 1999.
Maybe the decrease was due to programs such as @HealthyFla HEROS that distributed free naloxone/Narcan to #FirstResponders. But of course, the overdose death count jumped back up in 2019.
🔴 Senate #Republicans have KILLED 400 bills passed by the House, most w/ GOP votes. #Dems need to win 4 seats (3 if #Harris is VP). 6 races are tossups: CO-Gardner, GA-Perdue, IA-Ernst, ME-Collins, MT-Daines, NC-Tillis.

On this night 19 years ago,246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights.2606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning tomorrow.343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift.#Pennsylvania #Pentagon #FDNY #GiantSlayrs
60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift of saving lives. None of them saw past 10:00 am Sept 11, 2001. In one single moment life may never be the same.
As you live and enjoy the breaths you take today and tonight before you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.
*Thread on #FirstResponders for OHCA*
In the last decade, numerous systems like @pulsepoint @GoodSamApp @SAUVLife @HartslagNu were developed to alert laypersons.

How does a citizens first responder system work?
Citizens willing to help in case of OHCA can voluntarily register in a first responder network.
When an OHCA occurs, the nearest ones are alerted simultaneously with #EMS dispatch to increase CPR rates before ambulance arrival.

Our systematic review found 12 different systems (7 apps, 5 text message systems).
Activation radius varied from 150 m to 5 km. Also activation criteria, training required, technology used, and active time varied between systems and are summarized below 👇

So glad I was able to connect a few hospitals. They purchased a bunch! I’m so happy they are going to people who need them!
If you tune into @NBCNews on @YouTube you get campaign messaging from #MadKing Trump's regime. America has never been more #socialist, so this must be a great pole poll for poling proletariat patsies.
"Official #socialism approval poll." I approve. What do I win?

Both #Nazi parties of the two-party system have been working furiously to redefine & destroy the concept of #socialism - because in reality, it’s a mandate for #HumanSurvival.

"Truly blessed" Dumbass Low-Grade Lying Fool (#DLGLF) Pence stated Detroit's Mayor claims they tested 150 "exposed" #FirstResponders and "they're all back in the line of duty." They're just spinning a bunch of nonsense & Trump is playing malevolent moonlighting #FakeGynecologist.
I've heard some claim that #doctors are greedy, heartless, willing to sacrifice patient health and safety for profit, referring to vaccines, triage of care, the expense of healthcare, and the list goes on.
I hope this clears all that up for you. #PPE

This goes also for #nurses, PA's, #firstresponders, #firefighters, #police, #military, and all those who risk their own safety to help others. You don't go into one of our fields to get rich. You do it because you care about others.

Yes, there are bad actors, but that's true in all professions. The majority of #HealthCareWorkers risk their own health & safety daily, as do #FirstResponders, not just during #COVIDー19. Don't blame the providers when you're really mad at the system.
(1/4) .@JacksonLeeTX18 thoughts and prayers go out to the families who are victims of the horrific explosion in Northwest Houston this morning. I offer my heartfelt condolence to the families whose loved one’s were loss. #HOUSTONnews
(2/4) .@JacksonLeeTX18 I have called the Governor’s office and FEMA to request a disaster declaration and to find the cause of this tragic incident #houstonnews
(3/4) .@JacksonLeeTX18 Thanks to our brave #FirstResponders who always place their lives in harms way to save others. This site is in my district, and I plan to visit it today and try to help as many impacted as possible #houstonnews #firefighters #police
BREAKING: Two #fossilfuel storage tanks have exploded at #NuStar, a tank farm next to the #Phillips66 refinery near #Crockett & #Rodeo in the #BayArea. No reported casualties, according to @KTVU. The explosion likely caused an adjacent brush fire. ktvu.com/news/fire-at-c…
@KTVU Our thoughts are with #firstresponders and community members in the #EastBay as a shelter in place has been ordered. Stay safe and don't go outdoors until the order is lifted. Check the latest on the @CCCounty Community Warning System here: cwsalerts.com
@KTVU @CCCounty A situation like today's #NuStar tank farm explosion in #EastBay is exactly why we must put a stop to the expansion of #fossilfuel infrastructure in the #BayArea and around the world. Learn more about the movement to #ProtectTheBay: protectthebay.org
09.11.01 #Thread 8:46am @IWidroff & myself were clearing an emergency call in Midwood Bklyn when a call for “an explosion atop the #WTC “ We responded! Little did we know, at 9:03am a second plane hit the second tower, we were in the BBT at the time..
#NeverForget911
#NeverForget911
exiting the tunnel was like a scene out of an apocalyptic movie set flaming chunks of debris atop of smashed cars, convoys of emergency vehicles, sirens blaring all making its way to the #WTC
At that moment we knew this was no “small plane” accident into a building

#Tchernobyl : dans la nuit du 25 au 26 avril 1986, une série d’erreurs pendant un essai de sécurité entraînent l’explosion du réacteur n°4 et la fusion du cœur. La plus grave catastrophe nucléaire, longtemps la seule classée au niveau 7 sur l’échelle #INES, avant #Fukushima
