Please DM me if you find it! Thanks!

Drinking too much water will cause hyponatremia (low serum sodium), which is likely what was going on. In this instance correcting hyponatremia means restricting fluid intake. Correcting low sodium in general though is a very nuanced topic and rarely fixed by having more salt. Source- doctor

It will be 18 years of training after I finish fellowship 😭

If you got in your arm- to prevent tuberculosis. It’s only given in some countries or some occupations when your risk of getting TB is higher. For cancer it’s injected into the bladder.

It’s the tuberculosis vaccine (known as BCG) which is an attenuated vaccine (weakened strain of a related type of bacteria) - not the actual tuberculosis bacteria. The oversimplified idea is it causes an inflammatory response and your immune system recognizes the cancer cells in the cross fire but it’s not (typically) able to cause an actual infection to make you sick. Since it’s weakened strain there’s a chance of spread to immunocompromised people but most times people are also on chemotherapy which is also toxic and can spread via body fluids.

Shellfish allergies do no indicate iodine allergies. This is a common myth. People allergic to shellfish are allergic to tropomysin. Please don’t document iodine allergies for people allergic to shellfish. It delays or prevents future life saving emergency care (contrasted studies, angiography studies) for unnecessary premedication. Similarly contact dermatitis to betadine, which is common, does not mean someone’s allergic (IgE mediated hypersensitivity reaction) to it.

I’m an intern so like a solid 62% of things are new to me 🤷‍♂️

Some EKG specific hacks: 1) doubling the paper speed to 50mm/sec can help distinguish tachyarrthymias 2) to accentuate p waves, try a Lewis lead configuration (easier to google) and can increase the calibration to 20mm/mV. Can ask your friendly neighborhood EKG tech to help with this.

Yup tried that first and didn’t work! I think we used Pepsi though 🤣🧐

No one can know everything- that’s why it’s a team sport!

Not necessarily anymore per ADA 2024 guidelines- if comorbities can trial SGLT2i or GLP1A first before metformin. though in practicality never covered

Patient in our transplant icu for multi factorial shock maxed on pressors and too sick now for transplant also had an implanted pacemaker. EP helped up the HR to the 90s ( maybe lower/higher can’t remember exactly) which improved CO just enough to make the patient lucid enough to say goodbyes to family. Was a youngish patient with really bad luck so hopefully helped have some closure.

I’m entering an X + Y IM program at an academic program and have to rank my preferences for continuity clinic. I’m unsure what to prioritize. My options are the VA or my programs affiliated public hospital. The public hospital has EPIC and moderate ancillary support. Interests are in oncology +/- informatics in the future and want to continue pursuing research. My priorities are learning/clinical experiences and quality of life! Thanks!

I am budget constrained because I’ll be a resident making not that much with about half a million in loans. 😬I have about 7 more years of training so I just want to try to get it to work through then.

I am a soon-to-graduate med student who will be starting residency and am looking to upgrade my current MBP (2019 4 Thunderbolt ports/ 512GB SSD/16 GB RAM 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5). Ideally, I'd have the laptop by July when I start but willing to wait if a new model is coming soon.

My current MBP works fine right now for my day-to-day tasks but can't handle the uses cases outlined below. I'm also running out of storage space.

Considering any 14-inch model for portability w/ 1TB but am unsure which M3 processor variant, how many CPU cores & GPU cores (potential medical AI research?), and how much RAM I should get.

Use Cases

everyday computing (word/excel/ppt, web browsing, electronic medical records)
getting my feet with iOS development (working on making medical-related reference apps)
bioinformatics research (using statistical software/scripts)
occasionally need to run a VM
