@TheRealDoctorT Just recommended to my colleague at a grand rounds on AI last week. The Hand Holders feels eerily like my future while sitting through that talk. Seems like we are very excited about all the fancy things it can do so much that we hand wave its shortcomings.

@collazor1 Wow!!!

Two masterpieces. New version of "baby" Burton Rose book and Mansoor's Frameworks 2.0. Best part about getting updated versions is I can leave my old ones at work to reference with the residents and introduce them to these great resources.

How do you explain IVIG in layman's terms to your patients? I say something along the lines of it gives your immune system something else to do other than beat you up. #medtwitter

Got to meet the man, the legend Uncle Bob @medrants in person and listen to him masterfully go through a case of adrenal insufficiency today before BUMC grand rounds. Bucket list ✅️

@kidney_boy I just tell every resident I work with to do themselves a favor. This is how medicine is learned correctly.

🧵1/Our @uabmedicine Grand Rounds will feature a diagnostic showdown between Dr Martin Rodriguez and ChatGPT4

I am scared here because I don’t want AI to win

[Chris Athon @AthonChris]

@collazor1 That's outstanding!

[Chris Athon @AthonChris]

@collazor1 Aaaaannnd used VEXUS very conveniently for watching the waveforms. It was amazing to see that exam in exaction.

[Chris Athon @AthonChris]

@collazor1 Same exact! We got 250# down to 187# and creatinine stayed solid as a rock at 1.8-2. DC meds nearly identical.

[Sam Ghali, M.D. @EM_RESUS]

This is one of the most terrifying Echos I’ve ever seen
