Another treasure. Berton Roueche was a medical writer for The New Yorker. His stories often focused on “medical mysteries” and the epidemiological detective work that went into solving them. These stories inspired some the early episodes of the TV series House.

@katielwelter Congratulations! Well deserved.

I am so grateful to Dr. Mark Siegler, the MacLean Center faculty, and my co-fellows for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with me this past year. You transformed my thinking and definitely made me a better doctor.

Today we opened the Veggie Rx program in an unused space in our office. It will serve 6 primary care practices at Rush, and provide food and other resources to our patients who face food insecurity.

@AdamRodmanMD My “COVID” hobby has been to collect 19th century medical books. It’s been really wonderful. I heard about this one in a paper that Abraham Verghese wrote on the history of physical exam textbooks.

[Richard Abrams @RUIDOC]

One of the first “modern” physical diagnosis texts for medical students. Published in 1869. It’s a beautiful little book.

30 years ago the Medical Care Group was the forerunner of Rush University Internists and Rush University Hospitalists. I was so fortunate to work with a group of colleagues who chose to dedicate their career to primary care and medical education.

A new treasure. Written by Ernest Irons, who was an intern under James Herrick. Although Herrick is credited with the first report of sickle cell disease, Irons is the one who first looked at the blood smear of the patient, Walter Clement Noel, under a microscope.

S/o to @DxRxEdu & @rabihmgeha of the @CPSolvers for graciously showing the @RushDOIM @RushIMChiefs community how powerful & fun reasoning together can be! Inspired to follow on the path to democratize clinical reasoning & work towards becoming a master clinician 🧐 #MedTwitter

Re-infection after natural infection also very rare. Among 17383 participants with prior #covid, only 0.4% (0.004) symptomatic COVID-19 (and some of those had atypical symptoms, only 0.3% with typical symptoms). Re-infection after vax or infection rare

Why does catamenial pneumothorax (pneumothorax that recurs with menstruation) almost always occur on the right side?

Why doesn't it affect both sides of the chest equally?
