@SankalpMalhotra Got me in my feels🥺. Ty for sharing friend🙏

I’ll share one“Whether you think you can or can’t, you’re right”

Telling yourself “I got this” or “I have everything I need to make this happen” makes all the difference. But also ur never alone :)

New interns/seniors-you got this!

🚬 cigarettes for asthma 🫁

Just on the shelves 70 years ago (though started centuries prior)

They contained atropine & were finally phased out in 1950s when inhalers were created. Thank goodness 🤭

Ohio Ob/Gyns:

The 6 week abortion ban has gone into effect *right now*

Physicians on call this weekend: communicate prophylactically with your hospital legal dept. If you have a dying pregnant patient tomorrow, you will need legal counsel…and always do the right thing (1/2)

Somewhat ironically higher dosing is needed for treating autoimmune conditions.
