1) Welcome to #TwitterReport! We give you a case, you ask questions, everybody learns! Today’s pt presents to clinic with a cough

Case: 54yoF w/ HTN and allergies p/w 8wks of persistent cough.

What are the most common causes of chronic cough?

A patient literally pulled out a chair for me today when I came in to see her and was like “Take a seat you must be tired.” Me and my giant pregnant belly: 🥺🥺🥺 (but also me thinking I can still do 3 flights of stairs 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨)

Correctly pronouncing Monongahela is the western PA equivalent of correctly pronouncing Schuylkill.

Had a pt with Covid with worsening subcutaneous emphysema spreading to his neck and face. Unable to do more for him here. Called a tertiary care center to see if they had thoughts and they immediately accepted for transfer. Always advocate for your patients ✌🏻 #OSHHospitalist

When a patient says you look so young ☺️ but then asks if you’re 41 😩

[Megan McCarty @MeganMcCartyMD]

Today marks one year since George Floyd’s death. UPMC employees at all hospitals/campuses are kneeling for 9 minutes and 29 seconds to recognize his death

The best advice I got today from a sweet and cantankerous 91 year old lady during my nursing home rotation: “Life is too short to take any crap.” and “Don’t let things you can’t change bother you.”
