Reintroduction time! I’m a Med-Peds and adult ID physician dabbling in medical illustration/comics. You may recognize my “Pressors as Marvel Avengers” series, Core IM art, or other visual mnemonics. Follow me for more MedEd…looking forward to connecting with #MedSky, #IDSky, and #SciArt! ! 😊🎨🦠
Visual algorithm depicting the evaluation and treatment of staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infections Visual comic depiction of an EKG cardiac cycle with peaked T waves due to hyperkalemia, with three climbers on the peak and one of them exclaiming “Boss, we’re climbing too fast…her heart’s going to give out!” Visual depiction of a chest x-ray, with two mnemonics indicating how to read the image. The first mnemonic is “PIER”, which stands for Position, Inspiration, Exposure, and Rotation. The second mnemonic is “ABCDEFGHI”, which stands for airway, bones, cardiac silhouette, diaphragm, effusions, fields, gastric bubble, hila, and impression. A comic of Thor, representing the pressor Dobutamine. In this analogy, Dobutamine is a “heartthrob” and can be used for acute heart failure or cardiogenic shock.

Differential diagnosis for fever in an ICU patient #IDSky #MedSky #SciArt
A man is in an ICU hospital bed, intubated and sedated. The graphic around him depicts various organ systems that can contribute to fevers in ICU patients, including CNS, endocrine, cardiac, respiratory, GI, GI, bone, skin/soft tissue, and others (I.e. malignancy, autoimmune conditions, and drug fevers).
