OK medical Twitter, if this isn’t the ideal location for a #gastroenterology conference, I don’t know what is.
Not only that, but it’s located here……(1/2)

The triage ECG does not need immediate physician review if the machine calls it normal....RIGHT??? 😱 Cath showed 100% LAD. This life saved because Dr. Arjun J.V. doesn't rely on machine interpretations! #FOAMed @UMEmergencyMed @UMEMresidency

It was a regional Coast Guard meeting, the last thing he expected was his son, a physician, to be mentioned by name.

The speaker's father had been admitted multiple times.

The pendulum has swung too far.

Penalizing falls in the hospital has resulted in patients who aren’t allowed to get out of bed.

They get weaker, depressed, constipated, pressure ulcers and ultimately need SNF placement.

Ambulation should be viewed as a key to healing.

If I talked to patients like the boards wanted me to:

Patient: So, what are the results of my biopsy?

Me: Why don't you tell me what you know about death and dying?

Great article. My affirmative/more quantitative take-homes:

Linezolid-SSRI serotonin risk <1%, just monitor
Linezolid-TCP rate 43% in CKD vs 17% without
TMP-SMX does cover GAS
Fosfomycin cure rate 57%
Doxy safe enough for kids' teeth unlike tetra
Cefazolin does get into CNS

This is a safe place to learn about finance.

For the new interns getting ready to start.

One thing I always reflect on from residency is that you will never be faulted for going to the bedside

There are thousands of new docs getting ready to start their internship this month. What advice would you give them, #medtwitter? I'll start... sleep is your highest priority, followed by staying in shape and staying connected to friends.

Now that we know that pulse oximetry is inaccurate in Black patients, the new name is FalseOx.

“…in two large cohorts, Black patients had nearly three times the frequency of occult hypoxemia that was not detected by pulse oximetry as White patients.”

looking at the homophobic moral panic from the 70s next to the transphobic moral panic from now is pretty wild
