One of my pet peeves is checking FOBT to confirm that someone is bleeding in the hospital setting. There is a high false positive and not what the test was intended for. It also doesn’t change management in most cases (I guess maybe unless negative but false negative can also happen).

One of the most satisfying things about medicine and particularly hospital medicine and critical care is seeing the immediate results of your efforts. Just makes it all worth it.

Not med related. Recently got into 3D printing & design but very proud of this one I made for my son due to the challenges I had to solve to design & print it.
Looking to do future models that are medicine related as well.

I know I haven’t been posting much lately as I was taking a hiatus from social media all together. Will be posting a bit more the up coming weeks as I have missed educational content and #medsky dearly.

My 2024 was a year full of growth, learning, smiles and struggles. And while today is no different than yesterday, it’s still a good time to reflect, turn a page and look forward to more of life in 2025. Happy new year everyone.

tbh one of my core EM principles is DO NOT BE AFRAID TO CHANGE GEARS
if the "freq flyer" doesnt seem right or the FT patient gives weird spideysense, stop, rethink, what would i do if i were 20 yds thatta way? and I try to explicitly tell my team we're switching gears

more like fast trap amirite
Fast track last night:
- Leg cramps -> calcium 4.1, hemoglobin 6.6
- Flank pain -> obstructing ovarian mass causing hydroureter/hydronephrosis
- Abdominal bloating -> diffuse metastatic disease
- fever, spit out blood -> flu A with tonsillar hemorrhage

Need help setting up the O2 devices for patients with asthma or COPD exacerbations? This table should be quite helpful. 🎩 tip to the authors.

Not sure if you can tell, but I love infographics and schematics to help me organize my thoughts. This is a great one on variceal 🩸 which always have me push the panic button every time I see it.

One of my pet peeves as a hospitalist is the FOBT 🩸💩
Don’t think it has a role in the inpatient side. Lots of false positives and doesn’t change my management plan. Perhaps a good negative test in specific circumstances but mainly should be used in outpatient for colon Ca screening.

Among critically ill adults who received invasive mechanical ventilation for more than 24 hrs, screening frequency (once-daily vs more frequent screening) & SBT technique (pressure-supported vs T-piece SBT) did not change the time to successful extubation.

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.
