A young Timber Rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus) on the crawl in the Pine Barrens today. This was a well travelled trail and some horseback riders passed through shortly after we gently shooed her off into the bushes

A subadult female timber rattlesnake, Crotalus horridus. And has a greenish yellow with dark chevrons across her back. She was very calm the entire encounter.

A 5-year-old male presents to the emergency department with inability to move his arms/legs and difficulty breathing.  Family reports they found him ingesting these fireworks (see image). What lab do you expect to be abnormal and why? ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

Yikes, just stuck my head in the bad place. Pretty much the only tweets from the conference are group/organizations/vendors. Almost none from individuals. Who is gonna engage if there isn’t a community? Social media EM was based on #FOAMed, not advertising. How the mighty have fallen. #acep26
