@CanesDavid I think it very much depends on the patient/family. Sometimes, it sends them spiraling.

@francisdeng There is one use case for wbMRI, and that's to screen for chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO, aka CRMO) lesions. I think it's kind of a restricted wbMRI protocol, though.

@Sinafruu @madison_tayt Once in a while, it can be helpful to the doctor. 80% of the time, it just amps up anxiety for the patient.

@pankajsameold @anish_koka The real bottleneck is at the residency level, and the fact that fewer US med grads want to go into peds, fam med, or internal med. It's a disaster of our own doing with the insurance and payment system.

@docxusofficial I've seen scurvy a few times in clinic in patients who were referred for evaluation of arthritis. It's not as unusual anymore... particularly in autistic food-restrictive kids.

@hil_81 @kevinnbass Your whataboutism is showing, and it's an ugly look.

@hil_81 @kevinnbass I've literally never said a thing about Charlie Kirk or Kyle Rittenhouse.

@hil_81 @kevinnbass ICE =/= police. Police, at least, are trained not to stand in front of a moving vehicle.

ICE agents wouldn’t even allow a doctor to go check the pulse of the Renee Nicole Good whom they had shot in Minneapolis.

DOCTOR: Can I go check her pulse?”

ICE: NO!

DOCTOR: I’m A physician!

ICE: I Don’t Care!

These are the monsters of Trump‘s America.

@hil_81 @kevinnbass I heard gunshots and then them denying her medical aid when a doctor bystander wanted to go over and check if she was alive.

[Albert Chow @AlbChow]

@hil_81 @kevinnbass I don't think we've seen the same videos. Where are you watching this?!

[Albert Chow @AlbChow]

@hil_81 @kevinnbass I agree: the gov't "official" had plenty of time to walk away from a slow-moving car. No one was in any real danger of being run over.

[Albert Chow @AlbChow]

@hil_81 @kevinnbass To be clear, you're ok with a woman being shot and denied medical care until she dies. We do not live in the same moral plane.

[Albert Chow @AlbChow]

@hil_81 @kevinnbass What are you seeing that others aren't? What I saw was a mother and a nurse gunned down by a gov't "official" in daylight, both bUS citizens and violating no laws. What I saw were kids kidnapped by the gov't. Where was this paramilitary you're seeing stopping all that??

@kevinnbass Your discussion section is lacking, to put it nicely. Correlation =/= causation. Good job finding a correlation, but the causation in your discussion section is lacking evidence.

@GreeneElizabeth @joeybeastmarket An annual is billed at $162 per Medicare. It's lower for Medicaid, how much varies by state.
