The lungs and kidneys aren't chasing an A+ in compensation.

They aim for a B+.

So when an acid-base disorder is appropriately compensated, a normal pH isn't the goal.

Appropriate compensation has limits.

Calcium scans of the heart arteries, one of the most frequently ordered tests by primary care physicians and cardiologists, have little incremental value compared with well-established clinical risk scores.
@JAMA_current
“Routinely using a calcium scan in people who are at low risk may result in unnecessary radiation exposure, testing and costs with unclear clinical benefits."—@NilayShahMDMPH

🚨 New ASCO 2026 data: In nearly 90,000 patients with chronic pancreatitis + type 2 diabetes, GLP-1 use was associated with ~50% lower 5-year pancreatic cancer risk.

Important: association ≠ causation, but the signal is compelling.

4 patients undergoing routine joint replacement surgery were mistakenly injected spinal potassium instead of the spinal anaesthetic mepivacaine, resulting in paralysis from spinal cord injury. One of the worst examples of a drug error in recent times.

Colostomy reversal. Challenging but very important.
