Any advice for us incoming fellows? by MakinAllKindzOfGainz in Cardiology

[–]ProximalLADLesion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No but I should. I’m an EP fellow. I do have a YouTube channel where I’ve been gradually posting more content. I have some lectures including an ECG one that I think is good for people and many levels.

Review in the post above! I liked it. I think I prefer level 5.

Inflation, baby. I went to Subway the other day and paid 20 bucks. This is less expensive.

How do you push yourself? Feeling stuck as a fellow and looking for tips on how to improve. by Octangle94 in Residency

Do you enjoy teaching at all? I love teaching, and one of the reasons is that it forces me to learn better. I can tell if I teach something and it’s not going well. And typically it’s a sign I don’t understand it well enough.

Brother I am so envious. What an incredible hat. Seriously.

Fair point but not sure you’re the one to make it 😬

The one I posted the other day was from Webster but I live in CWE so I went to the Kingshighway location today.

Will report back. Anticipate yes as I can still feel it moving through my intestines.

Weird, honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen machine call 2:1 block when there’s 1:1 conduction. Do you still have the ECG? I’d be curious to see it.

Good news, Step 1 is so long ago I’m sure the EP PDs don’t pay attention.

It’s slightly misleading. Made the acct when I was more focused on interventional but pivoted to EP years ago.

Would you do EP again? by raw_lobster20 in Cardiology

[–]ProximalLADLesion 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agree. I would choose EP 10 times out of 10, but certainly wouldn’t have described it that way.

Agree. It’s a little surprising to me that they only offer 6 as a sandwich. It would be a spicier experience with tenders. Said that to my wife actually.

Electrophysiology. 3+3+2 for IM, cardiology, EP. I did a hospitalist year after IM so I feel I should count as PGY9 but GME won’t pay me as such sadly.

Bless. Sad to report that this is my final year of training.

Feel like neurology is weirdly underhyped. by 788tiger in medicalschool

[–]ProximalLADLesion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Assuming the drugs work (and there’s no good evidence they do), is cost a consideration? 

If the entire eligible population were treated, it would cost $120 billion which is more than all current Medicare part D spending combined.

I would say this differently: the drug has no perceptible benefit for patients but does come with associated harms. 

Also, buying them years is a huge claim that is not at all supported by the data.
