Consult for thrombocytopenia, rule out HIT. What’s the first thing to do? Print out the platelet trend and calculate the 4T score! Nice work Dr. David Xu, 2nd year Heme/Onc fellow. Ideally calculate the 4T score BEFORE sending the HIT antibody.
Finishing up Friday afternoon rounds with Dr. Paul Ehrlichman, PGY4 and Tamsin, MS3. When it is appropriate to do a hypercoaguable work up inpatient? #ASHchoosingwisely
We’re happy to have medical students back on Hematology consults, especially when they are as awesome as Sam Black, MS4! His visual figure analyzing thrombocytopenia is #hematologyconsultgoals@templemedschool

The Heme team calling patients who are high risk for COVID-19 and telling them to stay home from clinic as we will be practicing tele-medicine to reduce exposure! #CoronavirusPandemic#lifeinthetimeofcovid
Patients ill from COVID-19 who present with DIC have a much higher mortality rate. Important to keep in mind to check coags, fibrinogen, platelets and d-dimer when assessing critically ill patients.
