Some light reading on this relaxing Sunday. Such a useful book for reinforcing key statistical ideas and helpful for those looking to improve their interpretation of statistics! #medtwitter

[Frank Weigel @FabFrankDO]

#TWICpodcast always teaches me a lot but I particularly enjoyed this episode. AF screening, Na substitutes (or K supplementation), and helpful tips for critical appraisal.. what’s not to love?! ⁦@drjohnm⁩ ⁦@AHajduczok⁩ ⁦@matthew_nudy⁩ https://t.co/olelvQxR7h

[Frank Weigel @FabFrankDO]

Exceptional medicine grand rounds today from THE @NMHheartdoc!! Reviewing the updated HF guidelines and discussing the ICD controversy, among other topics, with one of the leaders in HF was such a useful discussion for providers across internal medicine and cardiology!

@KaylaHartzDO @AHajduczok I still don’t think that ball has landed yet ⛳️

@myheroistrane @PennStHershey @GIMaPreceptor @meggerber @CchristmColleen @colleenmfarrell @SheldonLHolder @RonanTKavanagh @ralanshirley @couragesings @EricLast3 When someone justifies a test or procedure with "that's just what we do," do your own research! Explore the physiology for why an intervention might help with a certain condition, or how a unique testing modality best identifies a specific disease. #AskWhy

Had an incredible time last year, and looking forward to competing again this year! This is a great opportunity to enjoy a fun day on the golf course with friends and colleagues while donating to an amazing cause!! #ChocolateChippers

CT or coronary angiography as the initial diagnostic strategy for stable chest pain? Excited to debate the DISCHARGE trial at our July journal club! #CardioTwitter

Closing remark from this evenings journal club:

“Clinicians can’t rely on anyone else for interpretation of evidence…

It’s up to us to learn how to critically appraise studies.”

(Perhaps this is in the running for the modern-day Hippocratic oath)

If you’ve ever wondered how a wearable can help you optimize sleep, productivity, or training…here are my thoughts on using objective data to improve performance using @whoop.

Give it a read!

Obesity drugs had a good year, the SGLT2 inhibitors stalled, and Entresto looks less impressive -- these are some of the takes from @drjohnm, in his annual review of cardiology research. https://t.co/KjDJTDGWlQ #CardioTwitter

#TipsForNewDocs

I have a “mentor web.” Some relationships are clear: people who trained me. Others are not: chance introductions -> amazing support.

The lesson: embrace opportunities to shine. Keep showing up. Working hard can pay off in unexpected ways.
