#TipsForNewDocs

I take care of pts in the hospital for wks-months awaiting heart transplant, so I try to make the stay tolerable:

1) no VS checks/diuretics/etc. 11 PM to 5 AM
2) OK to bring in food from home
3) ask about (and fix) constipation and insomnia

So long as they’re not in shock, continue beta blockers even when admitted for decompensated HF!

[Gregg Fonarow MD @gcfmd]

@KadoshBernard @MKIttlesonMD “during ADHF, continuation of beta-blocker therapy is not associated with delayed or lesser improvement, but with a higher rate of chronic prescription of beta-blocker therapy after 3 months, the benefit of which is well established”

#TipsForNewDocs

A good checklist when you exit a patient's room:
-lights on/off?
-TV on/off?
-where's the tray table go?
-door open/closed?

"Leave it better than you found it" applies to inpatient rounding too!

A lot of us in academic medicine may need to present our work at conferences or give talks to large audiences. Things for which we never receive formative training in all our years in school. This thread is absolute gold! ⬇️
