Someone on here just recently posted a slide about a Swan without an intervention, allowing for greater fidelity in monitoring a patients demise? (Real quote was much better) Can anyone help me find that post?

Do you vomit every day?
Is there always grass in your vomit?
Is it because you eat grass every day?
Then you might be my cat.

Simple SvO2 interpretation:
Low = problem, call someone
High = problem, call someone.
Normal = Things MIGHT be okay (they probably aren’t), or your problem is somewhere else, or you have several problems that are currently in balance with each other.

Institutions are like buildings:

🏨 Tough to build.

🏨 Hard to maintain.

🏨 Difficult to repair.

🏨 Can burn down in a day.

(You can’t just place an advertisement on Yelp to hire people with decades of institutional memory.)

I don't miss much about residency.

But it was nice to be with a team of similarly nerdy people for most of your day.

Doing consults at a satellite hospital by myself, and when things (good/bad/interesting) happen I often find myself looking around for someone to talk to that isn't there.

Loud bangs from downstairs followed by a meow that I've come to recognize is Tortie for:

"Everything is fine. Situation normal. DO NOT COME DOWN HERE. NOTHING IS HAPPENING and if it later transpires that it has then another cat did it."

One of the things about JD Vance is that he is completely 100% aware that what he is doing is evil and has made a deliberate, conscious choice to do evil to get power. He’s not self-deluded or dumb. He hasn’t drunk Kool-Aid. He’s decided to do evil for power.
