Just wrapped up another week at our fellow’s boot camp, packed with insightful conferences. @alaahoda2001 started the week with a case-based lecture on identifying EKG manifestations of myocardial ischemia.

What I’m good at: - hyponatremia - pneumonia - sepsis - heart failure What my family asks me about: - ear itch - boob pain - random rashes - “am I farting too much?”

Let's be clear. Eli Lilly should apologize for increasing the price of insulin by over 1,200% since 1996 to $275 while it costs less than $10 to manufacture. The inventors of insulin sold their patents in 1923 for $1 to save lives, not to make Eli Lilly's CEO obscenely rich.

We've all heard this story. A person goes for a stress test to ‘check their heart’ and is told they ‘passed with flying colours’. The following week they have a heart attack. How is this possible? Here's how. 🧵👇 /1

In this MA of pts with cardiogenic shock requiring VA-ECMO support, concurrent use of Impella (ECPELLA) was associated with a lower risk of short-term mortality. However, pts with ECPELLA had higher rates of hemolysis, limb ischemia, and CRRT. doi.org/10.1016/j.amjcard.20….

Can you guess what these people have in common? They are all doctors, all are 90+ and all belong to 1951 MBBS Batch of Madras Medical College! Three cheers to them for their spirit in celebrating birthday of one of them

If we had a “Door-to-LDL <55” as a quality metric we assessed, the world would be more aggressive about getting LDL to goal and doing it quickly. Especially if public reported or reimbursed on #CVprev @DBelardoMD @AnnMarieNavar @ericpetersonMD @khurramn1 @MichaelJBlaha @DLBHATTMD – at Hospitalet de Llobregat, Spain

In academia we don’t say “I love you” we say “accepted with minor revisions” and I think that’s beautiful

Among 325K individuals with both T2D and ASCVD across 12 health systems, the proportions on evidence-based pharmacotherapies (statin, ACEi/ARB, GLP-1RA, SGLT2i) is shockingly low. Only 1 in 4 on a high-potency statin! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

I agree people are fed up, but covid won’t end until the world’s low income countries get vaccinated to prevent new variants. Our failure to vaccinate enabled delta-India, omicron-Africa. More to come unless we vaccinate globally. Our @TexasChildrens vaccine is essential for this

People are understandably fed up and want this to be over, they’ve sacrificed a lot over the last two years, and many who took great efforts to avoid covid now find them and their kids getting it, and feel disheartened to get it now, right when the pandemic may be on its last leg

If a Government cant handle a NEET exam without the stakeholders being consulted - What are the courts doing. The PGs are a vital spoke in the functioning of hospitals. SC must take Suo moto cognisance and solve the problem. Cops are just mercenaries here -they didnt think.

Thread-explainer on the current doctor protests: NEET-PG is an annual entrance exam, held for Postgraduate courses in medical colleges. About 1.75-2 lakh aspirants write the exam each year, for about 10-15k seats. Usual schedule: exam in Jan, Counseling by Mar-Apr. (1/n)

We have to wonder if Carrie knew Hands-Only CPR, would Mr. Big still be with us? If you see an adult or teen collapse, remember to: ☎️ Call 911 ✋ Push hard and fast #AndJustLikeThat, you could save the life of someone you love.
