@OneMoreDrPatel Don't try to be who you think they want you to be. Just be yourself. You're being interviewed because they see something they like in you.
@CMichaelGibson Do you consider it a limitation of the study that only 21% were placed on mechanical support prior to the PCI? Supporting patients prior to PCI seems to be the optimal strategy based on some data and personal experiences. Either way, complication rates still stubbornly high.
@AndrewJSauer There is a lot on twitter lately about salary in different specialties. My advice to any trainee, ignore everything you read about $, it’s mostly inaccurate anyway. Find a specialty that really excites you, the rest will follow.
@CMichaelGibson It’s not a barometer of who will be a good doctor but should not be abandoned. Once you get to the fun stuff (clinical application of the basic sciences) we have a deeper understanding of what are seeing, which I think makes us better doctors.
@mytachybrady @mmamas1973@samitshahmd@DavidLBrownMD@cardiojaydoc02 Stable lesions 1 week TT, ACS 2 weeks TT. Usually DT x 1 year in all who tolerate it. At 1 year I switch P2Y12 to ASA 81 as default and for HBR NOAC alone.
@VivekKulkarniMD@DrMarthaGulati@cardiojaydoc02 Vulnerable patient clearly, vulnerable plaque probably. Low threshold to cath with any increase on symptom frequency/intensity/duration/etc. Patient preference after risk/benefit discussion.
@DavidLBrownMD@ajaykirtane@gcfmd That if we are going to reference STICH trial we should keep in mind the findings of the trial in its entirety and not cherry pick an analysis that only included 1/2 of the patient population to infer the opposite conclusion.
