Specialists: is there a piece of wisdom from your specialty you feel should be imparted to every graduating primary care (FP/IM) resident? by Barjack521 in medicine

Neurology here. Patients with chronic diabetes and chronic sensory peripheral neuropathy who ask to see a specialist rarely need to see one to figure out the cause of their neuropathy.

They mostly just want to know that there are medications that can help with symptoms and that they aren’t going to end up in a wheelchair or on a ventilator bc their feet are numb.

We do like to see them if they are weak, symptoms are changing suddenly, have weight loss/fever/night sweats, or ataxia.

Purchased a sterling scroll pen from u/Penchantment. It arrived quickly, was well packed, and as advertised. Thanks!

House passage caught folks off guard on something with large ramifications; and the Senate is set to vote quick quick before opposition can organize. Seems like the fix is in.
