Honored to be at the White House for the Doctors for America convening on gun violence as a public health issue, engaging in productive discussion about critical solutions such as HVIPs, which @TheHAVI can guide hospitals and health systems in implementing. #EndGunViolence
Not a dunk on this account but a VERY important teaching point for any trainee. Hell, for *any* practicing CLINICIAN no matter how many years out of training.
Never just assume any presentation is from a particular diagnosis. This is why we teach trainees to form a DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS. Top 3, top 5 causes of a presentation.
Meningitis is a rapidly life threatening cause of encephalopathy. Could it be urosepsis? Sure, even probably. Does every patient need an LP? Obviously not - that’s where your critical thinking comes in. You’re not a monkey: use your brain, and err on the side of caution.
But do you want to be the person who just assumes urosepsis and misses meningitis? No. That’s bad medicine. Assumptions without proper thought and work up is how you kill people. Please do not kill people.
Unrelated, but also don’t shit on residents who are *correctly* just doing their job.
We are thrilled to welcome these exceptional physicians-DHREM Class of 2028! Each of them impressed us with their achievements, commitment, and humanity-we cannot wait to meet them.

🧵regarding 'the crimp' and other technical pointers having to do with securing surgical drains with suture.
We'll go over my preferred method, other methods like the Roman sandal, some errors people make, and other factoids.
