A special recurring series where the team gets together after hours, responsibly enjoys a few cocktails, and talks medicine!

Another treasure. Berton Roueche was a medical writer for The New Yorker. His stories often focused on “medical mysteries” and the epidemiological detective work that went into solving them. These stories inspired some the early episodes of the TV series House.
I am so grateful to Dr. Mark Siegler, the MacLean Center faculty, and my co-fellows for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with me this past year. You transformed my thinking and definitely made me a better doctor.
Today we opened the Veggie Rx program in an unused space in our office. It will serve 6 primary care practices at Rush, and provide food and other resources to our patients who face food insecurity.
One of the first “modern” physical diagnosis texts for medical students. Published in 1869. It’s a beautiful little book.
30 years ago the Medical Care Group was the forerunner of Rush University Internists and Rush University Hospitalists. I was so fortunate to work with a group of colleagues who chose to dedicate their career to primary care and medical education.

A new treasure. Written by Ernest Irons, who was an intern under James Herrick. Although Herrick is credited with the first report of sickle cell disease, Irons is the one who first looked at the blood smear of the patient, Walter Clement Noel, under a microscope.

Re-infection after natural infection also very rare. Among 17383 participants with prior #covid, only 0.4% (0.004) symptomatic COVID-19 (and some of those had atypical symptoms, only 0.3% with typical symptoms). Re-infection after vax or infection rare

Why does catamenial pneumothorax (pneumothorax that recurs with menstruation) almost always occur on the right side?
Why doesn't it affect both sides of the chest equally?

Most recent OpEd. Took a while to find a home (No hard feelings @sciam @thehill ) I do admit the topic is ...nebulous Thanks to @visiblemagazine visiblemagazine.com/demand-b…
Thanks to @tony_breu for an inspiring talk on Why We Teach. Wonderful finish to Digital Education Conference. I learned so much from the whole day. #iMED2021
Before Osler’s Principles and Practice of Medicine this was the standard internal medicine text. This is a 3rd Edition from 1868. The Flint in the title is Austin Flint of the eponymous murmur.
Old habits die hard. Normal saline is definitely not normal. Excellent podcast. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
Jacob Blake went to high school in Evanston with my son and daughter. He was shot in the back 7 times in front of his children. I am heartbroken. This has to stop NOW.
