How EM DocBox content is curated, reviewed, and updated.
Transparency about sourcing matters more than polished prose. This page exists so any reader — clinician, residency director, or institutional reviewer — can verify how we work before trusting a single dose.
Editorial team
Adeeb Husain, DO — Emergency Medicine board-certified, licensed across 35 US states. Sole physician reviewer for all content.
EM DocBox is a solo-built reference. There is no editorial board, no panel of consultants, no industry sponsors. This is a transparency point, not a strength claim: a single reviewer means a single point of failure. Cross-check anything that matters at the bedside.
Primary sources
Every dose, indication, and warning is derived from one or more of:
The drug reference shows direct links to dailymed.nlm.nih.gov and PubMed PMIDs on every entry where applicable. Click the "source" pill to verify any specific recommendation.
Update cadence
This is a high-traffic limitation. The site is updated continuously by a single physician between clinical shifts. There is no formal quarterly review cycle.
- Major guideline releases (ACLS, IDSA, ASH) are folded in within ~2 weeks of publication.
- Black-box warnings and FDA safety alerts are applied within 72 hours of issuance when caught.
- Drug entries display a source pill linking to current label.
- If you find a stale recommendation, email upliftmedicinefl@gmail.com — corrections ship same-day.
Conflicts of interest
Funding: EM DocBox is bootstrapped. No pharma sponsorship, no investor capital, no advertising. Hosting is paid out of pocket by the author.
Disclosures: Adeeb Husain, DO has no equity in pharmaceutical companies, no consulting arrangements with drug manufacturers, and no honoraria received in the past 36 months.
Other ventures: The author runs Lavena Health (telehealth clinic) and Pannl Health (lab analysis platform). These are independent products and do not influence EM DocBox content.
What this is not
- Not a substitute for hospital formulary, institutional protocols, or attending physician judgment.
- Not patient-facing. Every page assumes a licensed clinician with prescribing privileges in their jurisdiction.
- Not FDA-evaluated. This is a reference tool, not a clinical decision support system per 21 CFR Part 11.
- Not HIPAA-covered. Never enter patient names, MRNs, dates of birth, or other identifiers anywhere on this site. The reference modules run entirely in your browser and searches are not logged. The AI tools (Lab Analyzer, Shift Reset) send only the de-identified text or image you submit to an AI model to generate a response — nothing is stored, logged, or used for training.
- Not certified by NCQA, URAC, ABIM, ACEP, or any specialty board. Use with the same professional skepticism you'd bring to any reference.
Reporting issues
If you find a wrong dose, a missing warning, an outdated guideline citation, or a calculation bug:
- Email: upliftmedicinefl@gmail.com (subject: "EM DocBox correction")
- Include: the page URL, the specific claim, the correct value, and the source you're citing.
- Acknowledgment within 24 hours; correction shipped same-day for safety issues.
Privacy
EM DocBox is a static site. There is no analytics, no tracking pixels, no third-party cookies. The only data stored locally is your theme preference and density preference (in localStorage). The service worker caches pages for offline use — that cache lives only on your device.
Open feedback
This reference exists because every busy ED reference is either gated behind UpToDate paywalls or stuffed with consumer-grade ads. EM DocBox stays free, fast, and ad-free as long as it's useful to working clinicians. Tell me what's wrong, and it gets fixed.
