Internship is so funny. Day 1 in MOPC na consultant amekuambia uchukue room yako wewe pia utaona wagonjwa kama madaktari wengine.
First case unapata mama ako na 3 chronic illnesses, 7 prescribed drugs na amekuja na ecg. Uzuri kuna Dr. Mungai pale Murang'a who taught me so well
@david_ekpendu Mirroring works because it bypasses logic and hits the ego. You start thinking “she gets me” when she’s just feeding you what you want to hear. Real connection doesn’t need perfect mirroring.

NEW CLASSIFICATION - AHA/ACC
This is what you must write now:
Normal: <120 / <80
Elevated: 120-129 and <80
Stage 1 Hypertension: 130-139 or 80-89
Stage 2 Hypertension: ≥140 or ≥90
See the difference?
130/80 = Stage 1 Hypertension. Not "elevated". Not "pre".
WHY DID THEY CHANGE IT?
Because "Pre-HTN" was a lie.
Data shows risk of heart attack and stroke at 130-139 is 1.5-2x higher than <120.
Trials like SPRINT proved treating to <130 saves lives.
We were waiting for 140 to damage kidneys and heart. New guidelines say: catch it at 130.
"If a patient’s BP is 130/80, is he hypertensive or not?"
After reading the NEW AHA/ACC classification the answer will SHOCK you.
Let me break it down. Old vs New 👇
