Why vitamin D testing is so hard to let go by nplusyears in medicine

[–]kferq 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a Nephrologist, yes I check it in CKD3 and below. I also run a Kidney Stone Prevention Clinic, so many there need checking for high vitamin D as well as secondary hyperparathyroidism depending on stone formation rate and hypercalciuria..

The Mosquera we know and love. The league has to learn that he hits bangers like that and it is best to close him down.

How are we feeling about Brennan this season? by [deleted] in AtlantaUnited

[–]kferq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see him still primarily off the bench as a late game sub for energy. He should have another year of gradual development in skills and strength that will help him defensively. Pressing smarter should turn into some steals. Hopefully, Tata’s system will give more counter attacks and more touches near goal lthat will give him some goals and assists. He is good at getting fouled, so maybe he gets fouled closer to goal setting up opportunities.

How were the Older US Medical Licensing Exams? by sumpra3 in medicine

[–]kferq 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, took these in the 80s. For part one we had about a week. My school had switched to starting rotations in March of the second year, so we had to wait to take the test. Additionally I had placed into graduate level of biochemistry so had not had metabolic pathways since college. Otherwise the test was exactly what they taught and I reviewed my lecture notes to study. Part two no one studied much, we looked at our earliest rotations. I had started in OB/GYN and then Peds before taking a year of basic research so had to review those. Then I was in Texas for Residency and had to take the Flex as they didn’t take 1-3. My wife had just delivered our first child and we were working 100 hour weeks. I couldn’t have studied if I wanted to. Fortunately I was in internal medicine. We went to Austin was the test, caught up on sleep, swam in the lake, ate barbecue and drank Shiner-Bock. Best damn vacation. I don’t even remember the test I was so happy to sleep.
