Sure fire way to get your husband to do the DIY projects you’ve been wanting him to get to…just rev the drill a few times and start mumbling to yourself about probably not needing the tape measure.

***IF done correctly. Plugging this awesome and effective ED treatment algorithm for AWS published by a few of my ED attendings.

The average home stair height is 6-8 inches.
The ability to traverse this height can very well be the determinant if a person can leave their home, ambulate in the community, or live independently.

Fragility is fatal.

These people are doing it for reps.
Choice is yours.

Aggressively going after asymptomatic BP elevation was not just useless; it seemed to be harmful...

A chronically shortened pec minor (adaptive change due to repetitive throwing) can negatively affect performance and lead to pain syndromes such as nTOS/pec minor syndrome. Throwing athletes cannot neglect regular work on pec minor stretching and scapular retraction/mechanics.

This is Zeus. He miraculously survived a tornado that tossed him across his neighborhood in his crate. When it tore through his town in Nebraska last week with maximum wind speeds of 165 miles per hour, Zeus was inside in his kennel. The sudden cyclone completely flattened their home, but Zeus' crate was found four blocks away with a broken door, and he was found two blocks away patiently waiting on a mattress for help. Rescuers believe the crate saved his life. The pup, who ironically shares a name with the Greek god of the sky, sustained only minor injuries: a scrape on his nose, a few torn toenails, and a sore hind leg. He's recuperating at a local boarding facility free of charge while his family works to rebuild their home. His caretakers say he's in great spirits despite everything he's been through. 14/10

A patient presents in shock:

BP is 100/35

A wide pulse pressure (low diastolic) is suggestive of a distributive shock

With an important exception

This dislocation presented to the ED and despite successful digital block was not able to be reduced on multiple attempts by multiple different physicians…why?

@yourlocaldiva That’s the reason I got myself an Italian husband.

[Jimmy Turner, MD @TPP_MD]

I’ll be happy when I become a resident, it’ll make all this studying worth it

I’ll be happy when I am an attending… that will solve my burnout

It’ll be happy when I buy a house… or car… or…

This is called an arrival fallacy, and it’s a big problem for a lot of doctors
