A lesson in life. Call from a colleague today… “Keith, I’ve got a 80 year old man with jaundice and fever from a large 2cm gallstone wedged in the bile duct. He’s on anticoagulation for PE. I just have a bad feeling about him and I think he needs an ERCP today.”

🚀Na over-correction (Na📈) as THE (only) cause of ODS/CPM: An absurd over-simplification. Since 1980s, Na📈 has been portrayed as the main cause of CPM (so far as now the terms ODS and CPM are used synonymously). However, finding the truth (if it exists) is more complicated. 🧵.. 1/
