@airindia Appreciate the excellent service of ground staff and flight staff and what makes you stand out is the updates on the baggage status via messaging. This is usually a cause for anxiety more so with short connections.

#TipsForNewDocs
Before ordering a test, have a plan for a normal, abnormal, or indeterminate result.
If this thought experiment demonstrates the test won’t change management, or if you don’t know how to interpret/act upon all possible results, don’t order it.

An Ontario teen who ended up on life support may be the 1st documented case of 'popcorn lung' from vaping, a CMAJ study says. The condition is linked to diacetyl, a chemical used for flavouring, that is safe to eat but dangerous to inhale. https://t.co/2Ncgb1TNKz

Here is a gorgeous case of CTD-ILD. I found this whole entity very confusing at first. I’ll show images at presentation, 7 days, 2 months, and 6 months. I’ll also share PFTs, BAL, serology, and path report. Please comment on these if you like. #FOAMed#FOAMrad#radres 1/

Massive thanks go to the @NACAPaudit team and all our fantastic #pulmonaryrehab teams who diligently uploaded all that data despite very busy clinical jobs. Such a rich dataset to learn from and integrate QI 1👏👏👏
Admitting mistakes does not mean you are defeated or that you are flawed or that there is something wrong with you. Admitting mistakes shows you are sincere, humble and trustworthy. That’s how you learn & grow. And, succeed.
When you recognize the amazing progress made in your field - not so long ago, very prominent people said nothing works and that you could not run a large #RCT in #PulmonaryFibrosis#ILD - kudos to all that proved them wrong!! #CurePF#SundayThoughts
