She is the face we kiss during practice for CPR, but do we ever stop and wonder about the story behind this face? This #ChristmasBMJ article looks at how this history takes us back to 19th century Paris when the body of a girl was pulled from the Seine ow.ly/QK3250CIcZ4

#MedTwitter, help me settle a debate: is this is a clinical trial? 1) You invite all patients with episodic migraine who come to your clinic to participate. 2) They choose which of two experimental treatments to take, open label. 3) You assess headache frequency before and after.
36% Yes, it's a trial
64% No, it's not a trial

Diabetes Awareness Month is quickly approaching! What would you like to see from us this year? #ADM2020
