#TipsForNewDocs: older docs will always say how much longer/harder they worked. Look @ pic, unless it was 1889, someone always worked more

The pt has the Flu btw. But no
other testing was offered or done.
Not sure who needs to hear it, but It’s ok to see pts who are sick and not Rx antibiotics when symptoms and testing don’t indicate bacterial infection.

Dear urgent cares (plus others it may concern):
Please stop Rx’ing oral abx to pts with pharyngitis & URI sx with negative rapid strep tests. Don’t do the test if you’re just gonna tell the pt they have strep anyways & not even send a Cx.
This is not good medicine/service 1/n

@pccm_doc @onepeloton @PelotonMed @ETSshow @cquillMD @CraigCooper792 @PadmaPande It’s been nice to row while watching a show occasionally… nice to have another choice. The time seems to go quicker while watching tv.

One of the most important quotes for #doctors #residents & #MedicalStudents — “Continuous learning is the minimum requirement for success in any field.” - @BrianTracy

The moment we stop reading & learning is the moment we begin to fail our patients.

Tip for new #pediatric #resident docs — if a child brings a doll, stuffed animal, or action figure with them to a visit, it is an unwritten rule that you must examine their doll first before examining the pt (bonus for letting them help w the exam)

@trpender And so important as PGY every # to always stop and think about order being requested. When it doubt, ASK! The pt’s nurse also will likely have decades of experience as well and are great sources of pt care knowledge

[Chad Rudnick, MD @Peds_doc]

@trpender Tylenol was mine. Pt was admitted night before, nurse asked for a Tylenol order. Made me think - does pt have a liver dz or some other contraindication? Why didn’t night intern order @ admit? Good things to think about but usually just wasn’t needed at time of initial orders

@STEAMwithYsa @NAEducation @NBPSEagles @NBPSLower Thank you for having me @STEAMwithYsa . The best clinic days are Teddy Bear clinic days! All the Global Girls were great junior docs — our future is bright w those amazing kids!

Kids typically get to have all the fun w light up shoes. Not just for kids anymore! Pediatricians can rock the light up sneakers too! celebrating #EarthDay @ our office today! #tweetiatrician #Pediatrics

[Chad Rudnick, MD @Peds_doc]

@STEAMwithYsa Should be soap & water available for every student as they walk into the cafeteria! 🧼
Great job w the handwashing lab 🧪 🥼 🧫!!

[Chad Rudnick, MD @Peds_doc]

Dear schools,
Can you at least encourage the kids (and teachers) to wash their hands before eating lunch, having snacks, coughing, sneezing, etc. Please make sure soap is readily available!
it can reduce school absences! https://t.co/9bZIcmmoRJ
