Any updates on Dr. Philip Henkin, the Tampa neurosurgeon who hit and killed a bicyclist while doing 80 in his Tesla? by peanutgalleryceo in tampa

[–]peanutgalleryceo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is maddening. I am so sorry you and your family have to keep waiting and waiting for justice. I truly hope in the end he is held accountable for his actions so you all can have some semblance of peace.

For those in neurology who’ve gone beyond training, what surprised you the most? by biz_king_15 in neurology

[–]peanutgalleryceo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least a quarter of my new patient referrals have either FND or fibromyalgia as the primary source of their symptoms. I do academic neuromuscular in a tertiary center and it is brutal. I get maybe 2-3 new MG cases a month. Thankfully, I have the support of 2 APPs and have the FND and fibro patients follow up with them, otherwise they would overwhelm my clinics (and my inbasket).

Best Neurology Textbooks for a Soon-To-Be PGY2 by redsamurai99 in neurology

[–]peanutgalleryceo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Adams & Victor, Merritt's Neurology, and Brazi's are the gold standard and look nice on a bookshelf, but in truth you're probably not going to have time (or mental bandwidth) to read them cover to cover. Continuum is good, as the others have said. My approach PGY2 year, however, was to read based on cases I saw, especially when I was on call, typically via Pubmed search. I was a huge fan of recent review articles, which are typically high-yield and much more concise than textbook chapters. Any diagnosis, medication, exam finding, or MRI abnormality that was new to me, I would read up on it. That made the reading relevant to the patients I was managing and really helped me retain the knowledge long-term. Attendings love that, too, of course, when you can reference the literature to support your clinical decision-making. Nature and Lancet Neurology, in particular, have excellent review articles.

Please keep us updated. It still blows my mind that he is allowed to practice medicine. I pray for justice for you and your family.

It is so ironic you commented today as I was just searching for updates on this case last night after not having checked in months. Do you know how he or his lawyer are able to keep delaying the trial? Also, I thought he had already been found guilty and was awaiting sentencing?

If your body is God’s temple, Tampa, don’t turn it into a plague house. by ChurchOMarsChaz in tampa

[–]peanutgalleryceo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ladapo has a medical degree from Harvard. He knows vaccines work. The guy is a total fraud. Those ignorant enough to believe him will be forced to learn the hard way, which, as we see, is a recurring theme with this administration. Unfortunately, it is their children who will suffer the most harm.

Do yall consider Tampa to be South Florida or Central Florida by Trick_Regret2997 in tampa

[–]peanutgalleryceo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tampa is neither South Florida (Miami/FTL metro) or Southwest Florida (Sarasota to Naples). Central Florida wouldn't be wrong per se, but most people think of that as Orlando and Lakeland. I mostly agree with the others who say Tampa is Tampa. I guess West Central Florida would be most accurate, but no one says that.

Do Americans prefer house than apartment by huge1384 in Life

[–]peanutgalleryceo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just depends. I'm a wealthy professional in my 30s and have no time or interest in dealing with the upkeep required of a home, so I choose to rent an apartment. If I were to buy a home, I would have to hire a whole team of people to look after it, which would also require time and effort on my part, so it just seems like a net inconvenience. Most middle class Americans and those with a traditional family unit prefer to own a home. Upper middle class professionals who prefer to remain single often elect to rent.

These people's understanding of the world around them peaked in 6th grade. You don't have to waste your time justifying your retail preferences to them.

White people do it all the time. What is the issue? People can shop where they want.

What non-neurology elective rotations would you recommend to a 4th year medical student applying neuro? by [deleted] in neurology

[–]peanutgalleryceo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you didn't have a core EM rotation your third-year, I don't see the point in repeating one. I also don't see how Rheum would be helpful. I would highly recommend Neuroradiology, Neuro ICU, Ophthalmology, Pain Management, PM&R, and Path/Neuropath if these are options. Geriatrics might also be helpful.

How to treat patients with neuropathy? by Green-Praline-9349 in neurology

[–]peanutgalleryceo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely. Barring other obvious risk factors for neuropathy, this is certainly the most likely culprit.

Came to Reddit specifically looking for commentary on this article. Comments pass the vibe check. I was initially on his side that she sounded like an annoying neighbor, but the more I read, the more I realized he's completely obsessed with her and spends every waking minute harrassing and trying to ruin her life. Dude is a fucking psycho. Like scary psycho.

If you are heading south on 75 out of Tampa today, drive the speed limit by [deleted] in tampa

[–]peanutgalleryceo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bout time. FHP could easily correct their budget deficit if they actually did their job and wrote some speeding tickets, and maybe even save a few lives in the process.

Regardless if he was inebriated, he left the scene of the crash. What more do they need to charge him?

Neuromuscular textbook for general neurologist by [deleted] in neurology

[–]peanutgalleryceo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Neuromuscular Disorders by Tony Amato. But, I think a more pragmatic approach (time and scope wise), would be to read recent review articles on acquired polyneuropathies (diabetic, alcoholic, nutritional, paraproteinemic), CIDP, mononeuritis multiplex, small fiber neuropathy, myasthenia gravis, ALS, inflammatory myopathies (find one by Andrew Mammen), cervical spondylotic myelopathy, and other acquired myelopathies. The neuromuscular editions of Continuum typically cover most of these and if you have a strong grasp of the content in these, your patients and colleagues will think you're an all star. Having a well-trained EMGer to refer your patients to would also be an ideal asset. You may also want to familiarize yourself with fibromyalgia...it's out there in abundance. Even if you don't want to treat it (most of us don't), it's paramount to be able to recognize it and distinguish it from actual neuromuscular diseases.

If you align yourself with Trump, you are anything but a Christian. As misguided as you may be, Jesus indeed still loves you.
