Interesting questions raised during the acting internship interest group #SGIM24

How clear are expectations for sub-Is at your institution?

How are you using narrative evaluation in the sub-I?

Has the role of the sub-I changed with step 1 and many clerkships going pass/fail?

Had a colleague tell me, “To be clear, I’m not depressed. I’m reacting appropriately to the world around me”. Oof, felt that.

@zacharygjacobs Definitely asking for a friend and not myself... What is a 457b?

The 13th Law of the House of God:

"The delivery of good medical care is to do as much nothing as possible."

Results probably what you might expect, especially after their prior HTN data. Too bad 'close PCP follow up' is so much easier said than done.

I don't even understand the question so please start at the beginning, where table salt enters the bean organ...

Late Night Opinions:

☝🏼It is unacceptable for hospital administrators to be unaware of how vital hospitalists are.

✌🏼Stop treating career hospitalists as physicians who are just doing a “gap year.”

[Michael Mina @michaelmina_lab]

Dear @POTUS Biden,

The US is at a critical point & we need greater access to faster tests

Rapid tests are barely available bc they're regulated here as MEDICAL tools-holding them back

Please write an EO that makes COVID testing in US a Public Health good

Thanks

@DoctorTro @Toaster_Pastry The recruitment failed to meet apriori power calculations. There were significant inherent differences in levels of user engagement between the apps.

Both groups did decrease their caloric intake though. Self-reported 24hr kcal consumption was 1400 in 100kg population...

[Michael Simonson @mgsimonson1]

@DoctorTro @Toaster_Pastry I did. Hardly enough evidence to say everyone should be on a keto diet. 90% excluded, 60% attrition, and of those that made it to the end only 40% compliance with protocol.
