I am at the lake, in Kentucky, with family, ages 2 to 86 years. We have no Wi-Fi. The cell signal is weak. It rained—a lot. That changes things. I picked up my Kindle (40% battery left) and opened to one of my favorite “books” — the entire collection of the works of Mark Twain. At the suggestion of Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi, I read the Twain short story. “The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg” Walter Kirn called it more of a fable.

Video laryngoscopy was superior to direct laryngoscopy in first-pass success among ED residents and CCM fellows intubating critically ill patients (DEVICE trial). Surprisingly to me, video laryngoscopy (VL) has not consistently been shown to increase first-pass intubation success over direct laryngoscopy (DL) in critically ill patients. Most studies have been small, single center, and only some have favored video.
