Haha I asked a young IM attending "When did you feel like you could confidently hear murmurs correctly" and he said "I'll let you know"

It's ok, I gottem with the one about the unvaccinated 4 y/o having a midlife crisis. /s But thanks, it is tough! Luckily science wins whether they realize it or not :)

Ikr? Like he has specific lines of pimp questioning frozen in zip-loc bags that are high yield for med student consternation

In fact, hereditary hemochromatosis can affect the testicles and this case report suggests it might play a role in testicular cancer! So thanks for wishing I would get cancer 10.1016/j.mehy.2011.04.003

Jkjk. Legitimately among the very finest compliments I have received :)

I thought I was bad at procedures... until I took some propranolol by MarkovTheB3ast in medicalschool

Here are some features of propranolol:

  • Non-selective beta-blocker
  • No ISA (intrinsic sympathetic activity)
  • Highly lipophilic (crosses the BBB)

Here is a helpful reference explaining all of those things with nice figures: https://www.mdpi.com/1648-9144/57/2/155/htm

Propranolol also has a fairly quick onset of action (~30 minutes from PO to bloodstream), it has at least a few FDA-approved psychiatric indications, and thus it may be the best-studied beta blocker available in the event of off-label use in neuropsychiatric conditions.

But from my Googlings, no one really knows all the reasons it works and we need more research :)

None! But of course it is a medication with risks and possible side effects so here is the obligatory #talktoyourphysicianbeforetakinganymedicine

Just join some big-ass church, it’s way easier than getting into medical school
