I just brought my kids to go vote! Proud for them to see their dad’s name on the ballot for US Senator. My parents immigrated to America 50 yrs ago and today I could become the first ever Korean American Senator in history. Thank you everyone for staying in line to vote!

Excellent overview of acute alcohol related hepatitis by @justinboike ... a reminder that there is no urgency to giving steroids, optimize the patient and rule out infection: #MedEd @midwesthospmed

From the 2nd article, 6 practices that can characterize excellent discharge counseling: ✴️Explain purpose of new/changed meds ✴️Explain reason for follow-up appts ✴️Explain how to self-manage their dz ✴️Describe expected symptoms ✴️Red flags to watch for ✴️Have pts teach back

Last comment: would love to hear how this process is spread among the multi-disciplinary team at yr hospital: At NM, we have pharmacy do admission med rec, warfarin teaching etc. Floor nurses do phone call check-in after discharge.
