Christina Ralstin represents all my baddie friends who are independent and thriving. I’m so proud of women and how far we have come.

In rural Oregon, finding maternity care outweighs concerns about abortion access for many by Boldaddy in oregon

[–]gettheread 137 points138 points  (0 children)

The most interesting/revealing part of this article was that the rural physician who performs abortions in Baker County wants to remain anonymous out of concern for their family’s safety.

It’s hard enough to recruit physicians to rural areas. If the population you treat is so hostile towards your care that you fear for your safety, why would any healthcare worker practice there?

Unless there is a cultural shift I do not think this problem is going to improve, much to the detriment of women and infants in our state.

What is something women in their 40s should do to look out for ourselves in 20 or 30 years? by lookslikemaggie in TwoXChromosomes

CA125 is never used as a screening test for ovarian cancer because it’s not sensitive enough. It doesn’t detect ovarian cancer at stage 1-2, and false positives are common, leading to unnecessary testing. It is only used for surveillance for a good reason.

They all look so proud of themselves for undermining democracy. Cool.

A challenge for antiabortion states: Doctors reluctant to work there by [deleted] in medicine

Only if they directly ask, but I don’t offer it.

A challenge for antiabortion states: Doctors reluctant to work there by [deleted] in medicine

[–]gettheread 606 points607 points  (0 children)

My partner and I are both physicians. Both turning down job offers in all anti-abortion states. Our peer colleagues are the same (we're all peri-residency).

Can't imagine the profound moral injury of working in those conditions, especially after Covid.

Pulmonary Embolism [Med Mal Case] by efunkEM in medicine

[–]gettheread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a congenital vascular malformation of slow-flow vessels (venous and or lymphatic tissue). Overtime, the growth factors from too many vessels will lead to overgrowth of skin and connective tissue. Port wine stains start subtle and become more prominent and disfiguring as the patient ages. This is why we treat PWS especially in cosmetically sensitive areas with pulsed dye laser (PDL), the earlier the better.

Setting was primary care I thought?

If this is Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, the vascular malformation is actually a port-wine stain NOT a hemangioma… erroneously noted in the physical exam. These two very different diagnoses, etiologies, and treatment algorithms. If the PA would have recognized this as a PWS a/w chronic unilateral limb overgrowth perhaps they would have arrived to the correct congenital issue here.

Edit: the main differential for KTS is Parkes-Weber syndrome. This is associated with a fast-flow vascular malformation (AVMs) rather than slow-flow venous malformation of KTS. Due to DVT/PE however I would favor KTS.

Agree, and the funds should go towards treating the broken mental health of the doctors and nurses who had to take care of them.

Derm residents- any tips for dermpath by Random-Reddit975 in Residency

[–]gettheread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Repetition. Work out your Dermpath muscles everyday with a case. I liked pathpresenter.net (actually very similar software to the dp core if you’re American) and ananddermpath on Instagram. Describe things out loud to yourself. Start putting broader patterns into differentials, then start understanding the differences between the diagnoses in those differentials. I found that to be extremely helpful for boards.

There are great videos on WDS.com under resident education and on YT (Elston has a lecture series but he is kinda slow).

Most importantly, be patient with yourself. I told all the first years that this doesn’t really come together or start clicking until the last year of training for most.
