I’m reading this mere minutes after reading Watson obituaries.
My takeaway is we are obligated to aggressively document the real person in real time. Flood the zone. Because future generations will inevitably whitewash it due to lack of perspective, and perhaps a proclivity towards hero worship?

Bummer, you will not be taking up golf down there. Just more time to work on your memoirs.

I came here to say cardiologist never have to worry about hypercreatininemia cut-offs if you start flozin/entresto/spiro and then never check labs again

Trimming tree branches while on top of my garage, similar thoughts ran thru my mind.
Also decided after age 50 I’ll be paying someone for this.

Hmm, my equivalent would be “we’re happy to use ICU bed for fixed rate Levo for HRS”

Agree with this approach - increase spiro to enable d/c of drugs that are clearly not “scratching that itch“
“I don’t respond well to BP meds“ (edema, tachycardia on CCBs) for me, increases my suspicion that the patient has PA!
So I remove them in order of greatest side effect, often CCB first

What the heck is the “drug that speeds up dialysis”? This guy seemed less fed up with the “system” than simply fell in to a very bizarre conspiratorial wave of thought.

My fav part of the endo soc guidelines is the incredibly pragmatic and what I call the hospitalist carve out - 1) if you gave fluids and it got worse - prob SIADH. 2) if you fluid restricted and it got better - prob SIADH. In other words - just go for it! If you guess wrong, call me (on hosp day #2)

Same for us with about 30 feet of straight runway from the back door. But she runs right past us. We figure for this pure athlete it’s the sheer joy of being about a pound lighter and untethered.
Also helps to answer the timeless question “I wonder if that was a poop or a pee?

Haircut 100 - love plus one meets this criteria. Boy meets girl was song 1 and a hit, but not *the* hit

Best exchange in Meeting People is Easy -
Reporter: have you been influenced by Genesis, Pink Floyd?
Thom and co. in unison: we *hate* progressive rock!
Hahahaha. Laughable.
I mean, Jonny’s playing an *actual* mellotron thru OK Computer and Kid A.
Don’t let them tell you prog is a 4-letter word!

I’m a prog rock purist by all stretches. Which is to say this sounds to me like the Steve Howe solo album that he *should* have made.

The nostalgia is preserved in the music for me. Lots of Simon’s Quest riffs in early Iron Maiden - hear a Castlevania-y riff and I’m right back in the game. And that’s enough.

Neph version: I thought it was amusing that some Neph divisions went by “division of nephrology *and hypertension*”. I mean, it’s just hypertension. We can all do that.
10 years later - it’s all hypertension mgmt. The kidneys are just where the drugs work. Fully radicalized.
