As I finish up residency, a bit of (statistical) reflection. Some time early in intern year I started tracking the number of patients I took care of. The final numbers:

Grady nightfloat admissions: 133
Grady inpatient: 430
Emory patients: 299
VA: didn’t track because CPRS

Question for #livertwitter Are any of you measuring handgrip strength in clinic as part of a malnutrition/sarcopenia/frailty assessment? If so, what device and cutoffs are you using and are you tracking longitudinally?

@FearTheBrown You sure stirred up some stuff buddy. But I agree 100%. The things New Orleans does well are excellent, but there are huge gaps. Especially for vegetarians.

Medicine is just a bunch of people in pajamas, who voluntarily locked themselves in a building, running around screaming acronyms at each other.

Congrats to 3rd-year fellow Eric Lorio on his recent publication in JPGN! Read about the risk factors for ERCP in pediatrics, including how complications differ between age groups. An interesting perspective in an emerging field!
