@AaronGoodman33 C'mon, her screen probably has enough glare such that she can see the beauty of the scene behind her in its reflection as she plugs away at questions...

@NurseStrider Yes, particularly if these ghosts got in the way of performing helpful nighttime routines or made them fearful for themselves or other residents/patients (such that behavioral expressions could increase if ghosts not vanquished). Would monitor to ensure their methods are safe

@adamcifu It's wild how hard it can be to find a folding chair, or non-rolly chair on the wards. But she is absolutely right - we need to have it easy to engage with people at their level.

[Anthony Burton, MD, MPH @caburton01]

@arghavan_salles I like listening to the geriatric review series - it's a conversation between the editor and the chapter authors, where the 'questions' in the conversation are the learning objectives of the chapters. Makes it easy to absorb just listening to 2 experts 'chat.' So, like a podcast

@PaulNWilliamz I think they just want to be able to keep up with the ophthalmologists in their acronym game.

@Gabby_Brauner27 I have definitely gotten the question: so, you want me to go to the baby aisle at the pharmacy?

Definitely better to call it 'low dose' as others have said, though I still frequently call it baby aspirin out of habit

@LaurenBarronMD ' You've seen your patients, now let's mooo-ooove on to orders and documentation!'

@YihanYangMD In reading this, I realized SOAP is what I expect from early learners to put everything together, but PBP is what I use (or flow into) w/ upper level residents & fellows, & there is more teaching w/ PBP b/c it begets discussion. Will try PBP w/ earlier learners. Thx for sharing

@gretchemaben I believe dog walkers refer to this scenario as a 'dog mullet.' /s

Looks like a joyous way to spend an early morning :)

@AaronGoodman33 You had me at AI.

[Anthony Burton, MD, MPH @caburton01]

@ras2am @Gabby_Brauner27 so true. I only recently got over hearing the L&D alarm in my sleep. I haven't *actually* heard that alarm since 2010.

[Anthony Burton, MD, MPH @caburton01]

@Gabby_Brauner27 One method I also found helpful for presentations was to write key features on 3x5 notecards. Section for HPI (one-liner), relevant exam findings, labs&rad, DDx, A/P, to-do. I wrote small to make it work, but the systematic way of doing things helped stories and plans stick

[Anthony Burton, MD, MPH @caburton01]

@Gabby_Brauner27 Agree w/ others on using a list. Your EMR probably lets you print out a patient list that has a column that's blank or has crossover notes. Wrote down to-do's, checked them off as completed. If I had to print a new list, would transfer relevant info. Still do this as an attending

@seamonkey___ @DGlaucomflecken Clinic associated with Monash, and then a rural clinic in Lakes Entrance.

[Anthony Burton, MD, MPH @caburton01]

@pre_rad Both. It was a very simplified system. Simple tabs. Do own vitals. Short notes - 4-5 lines for the entire SOAP note (we were seeing acute & chronic conditions). Prior auth for certain meds was straightforward. Print approved rx before they leave. Choose a billing option. Done.

[Anthony Burton, MD, MPH @caburton01]

@olsonplanner Never. Ever.

[Anthony Burton, MD, MPH @caburton01]

@seanmcarroll I'm curious what you think of 'About Time.' Charming movie, but some of the time travel issues gave me pause

[Anthony Burton, MD, MPH @caburton01]

@olsonplanner We have check-out processes for residency & fellowship. So, the outgoing folks aren't responsible for patient care on their last day. It also allows all paperwork to be finalized, IT stuff to be completed. Also, seems unnecessary to keep someone on duty that far into the last day
