Perhaps my own story holds such moments, waiting in plain sight. Here’s to believing in chance, believing in paths aligning somehow, trusting the unseen hand that guides us. And the audacity to call it serendipity.

The principle of “less is more” applies here. Focusing on the most relevant clinical factors and ordering tests as needed can often be more effective than expanding routine panels and thus avoiding ‘test fatigue’

Diagnostic accuracy doesn’t necessarily improve just by adding more tests. In fact, unnecessary tests can lead to false positives or result in clinicians over-interpreting isolated findings that are clinically insignificant in asymptomatic patients.

Magnesium and phosphate disorders are less common in acute settings and are often measured separately if there’s a clinical indication. Also, including additional tests like Mg and PO4 increases both the cost and complexity of the panel. All about balancing clinical usefulness with practicality

The good old days of analog television. Hit me with a wave of poignant nostalgia. My evenings were meticulously orchestrated around the whims of Cartoon Network’s prime time. A toast to the golden age of television, where every channel flip was a journey into the unknown.

Bluesky seems to offer a refreshing antidote to the rancour and vitriol that so often has permeated online spaces. It is so evocative of the golden days of Twitter, when the platform was a haven for genuine exchange and engagement. Absolutely loved reading your posts and commentary.

It’s less a battlefield of emotions, more a haven for those who seek to elevate the conversation beyond the base and the banal. The absence of constant noise, outrage, and algorithmic chaos is refreshing.

Bluesky, in its understated elegance, seems like a space untainted by the venomous vitriol that so often pervades digital spaces. Here, one feels an air of cerebral engagement, a commitment to thoughtful dialogue rather than hollow reactions.
