When I took Step 1 the treatment for heart failure was beta blocker and ACEi. Now it’s BB-ACEi-ARB-ARNI-SGLT2-Ivabradine-ICD-BiV pacer. Students today have to MEMORIZE it all for the test plus the outdated stuff like digoxin. And that’s just one disease. Result=burnout.

You need a doctor once a year maybe and a fireman once in a lifetime, if you’re unlucky. But you need a farmer three times a day. Wise words from Kaleb Cooper.
