Super excited about how many people are in line to vote today in Little Rock ❤ (all masked and socially distanced outside as well)

Where can I get a pin that says “if you’ve never held an iPad up to a dying patient so their loved ones can have difficult end of life discussions, I don’t care what you think about Covid”?

The lows of inpatient medicine just feel so much lower now and it’s heartbreaking.

It might be Labor Day weekend, but let’s all remember that we're still in the middle of a pandemic. Wear a mask, practice social distancing, and follow the experts. It’ll save lives.

Medicine is cool because you can feel like ur a genius one minute and then 80 seconds later you wonder why you are probably the dumbest person in the hospital

[Bri Klucher, MD @BriKlucher]

Worst smell in the hospital? IMO it’s the reek of sexism inherent in peer and patient interaction ✌🏻

[Morgan Tripod, MD @MorganTripod]

@chalsted88 Glad you enjoy my nerdy rantings!

[Morgan Tripod, MD @MorganTripod]

It takes ~4 hours for nitrites to turn into nitrates in the urine. So for the presence/absence of nitrates to be really useful for a UA, it should ideally be the first void of the day or at least after holding it for a while 😷

Did you know....
Lemmel syndrome (which I have never even heard of before) is defined as an obstructive jaundice caused by a periampullary duodenal diverticulum compressing the intra-pancreatic part of the common bile duct 💛

One perk that we all love about UAMS is that parking is FREE, covered, and connected to the hospital.

Residency can be stressful sometimes, parking shouldn't be!

I’m not sure who needs to hear this but #MedStudents you add value to your teams.

Patients get better care because you.

You are important and we need you.

Thursday means it's Grand Rounds day!

Today, we have an awesome lecture planned by Dr. John Arthur, Professor and Chief of Nephrology.

He is giving an extremely relevant talk about the renin angiotensin system and COVID.

As a woman, I've noticed that I commonly over-apologize for every little thing I do. I am going to start working on this with positive phrasing like switching:

"I'm sorry to bother you with this"

With

"Thank you for explaining this"

I need to normalize correcting people who pronounce my last name wrong.

[Morgan Tripod, MD @MorganTripod]

A rough rule on whether or not you can give Nitroglycerin to a patient with suspected MI = rule of 100

✅ HR < 100
✅ BP > 100

Our afternoon case discussion today was a 37 yo M patient with fever.

What is your approach to fever❓❓

@CPSolvers provides a great schema with the mnemonic ✅ I MADE ✅
I: Infection
M: malignancy
A: autoimmune
D: drug
E: endocrine
