When a former attending forwards you memes, you know you’ve made it.

Side note: Can we make this a new fellowship?

“For now….”

“Well do you have any ICU beds.”

“Unfortunately we are on diversion for ICU but I would definitely look for a bed for him.”

“Well if I can’t find one I guess I’ll just send him home.”

“DO NOT DO THAT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES”

[Mark Lelli, MD @MLelliMD]

Called from an outside ED for direct admission for hemoptysis.

“How much hemoptysis?”

“About a cup every 30 minutes”

*pause* “A cup every 30 minutes?!”

“Yup I’ve seen him doing it.”

“Ok well he needs ICU and is high risk for intubation, we can’t accept”

“He looks fine tho”

Let’s go blue!

Not a bad start for my first clinical vignette event since Covid started. Thanks for putting on a great event @EmoryHospMed!

Who’s begging for everyone to get vaccinated? Physicians

Who’s sowing doubt about vaccines? Politicians

Which of these groups do you trust more with your health?

PLEASE get vaccinated.

Although spongebob has seen better days, zero complaints 10/10

Just moved into a new house and moving trash around when I hear it faintly in the distance. Is it true? Could this be? Am I imagining? No, the sound is too distinct. I’d know it anywhere…

[Mark Lelli, MD @MLelliMD]

It’s the ice cream truck! In my neighborhood? When I tell you I RAN for my wallet….

The origin story for Magneto just got a whole lot more interesting

[Tyler Buchanan @Tylerjoelb]

Testimony going off the rails now.

Tenpenny is claiming there is metal in the vaccine that causes forks to stick to your forehead. She saw videos of it on the internet, you see

Also promoting the 5G cell phone network vaccine theory. This is the anti-vaccine "expert witness"

When one of your patients recommends buying dogecoin....

A friend called me to discuss a case. 30 year old with a cavitary lesion. Talking broad differential and initial treatment. “I think I’m gonna hold on antibiotics for right now. Plus the ED already gave him IV levaquin.” 🤯

Good luck on those AFBs 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ #FQsTreatTB

Also: the vaccine is FREE for every Georgian. If someone tries to charge you, call my office.

[Jon Ossoff @ossoff]

GEORGIA: Beginning Thursday, all Georgians aged 16+ are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine.

Make a plan to get vaccinated.

“I just wanna run this patient by you”

Somehow at that blood pressure his lactate actually is going down.

[Mark Lelli, MD @MLelliMD]

Lowest BP you’ve seen with a patient that’s AOx4 and completely asymptomatic? I’ll go first, 51/33. Continued to stay in the 50s systolic and asymptomatic over several hours. Chronic diseases (such as CHF/ESRD in this case) can drastically change physiological norms but 🤯

[Mark Lelli, MD @MLelliMD]

If there wasn’t video of it I dont think I would believe it. This is absolutely absurd.
