Another fine conference at the ‘hurst; thanks to our presenters — Matt C, Dr. Chung, Dr. Ginsburg, Dr. Iavicoli, and Dr. Chason, and thanks to all for the good turnout.

Let’s start with Tox, since we had a brief preview (perhaps too brief) of our new cyanokit and its use. More below:

The residency is sponsoring a happy hour this coming Tuesday at the Bohemian Hall and Beer Garden in Astoria . For those of you who aren’t familiar, this place is a NYC landmark because it has the last original beer garden in all of NYC and was voted best outdoor bar by New York Citysearch (in 2005 — but it’s still highly ranked). It’s just a couple minutes walk from the N train. All residents, faculty and med students rotating in the ED this month are invited.

Date: Tuesday, August 26
Time: 7:00PM
Location: 29-19 24th Ave, Astoria
Directions by subway: Take the N to Astoria Blvd. (one stop before the last - Ditmars Blvd.). Walk 1 block to the intersection of 24th Avenue and 31st Street. The beer garden is located between 29th Street and 31st Street.

Dr. Wang adds: During the summers they have an outdoor grill - grilling up all sorts of sausages and stuff that would be expected at a German joint. Only a handful of beers on tap, but very much in the traditional German Pilsner style.

Please join us for Emergency Medicine Department Conference on Wednesday, August 27th at 9AM in Mount Sinai’s Hatch Auditorium.

9 am Administrative Series: Performance Benchmarking - Dr. Scot Hill
10 am M&M — Dr. Lisa Jacobson
