This is Sick-Tok's greatest hits. I am a former special education teacher and current emergency medicine physician and have tremendous compassion for those who are truly dealing with life-limiting conditions like ASD…
Sean Evans. :)
This is a trash study and the title implying that this is an AHA statement is misleading. It was a data dredge associational study with minimal controlling for other covariates / risk factors for heart failure. The…
You need to have the sugar because it is required to transport sodium across the cell membrane in the intestine. Without the sugar you will not absorb the salt, which is what helps maintain hydration and electrolyte…
This is an oral presentation by a medical student at a meeting. I wouldn't change your life or approach to ASCVD risk reduction based on it.
Yes but it is the cause of many gastric ulcers and is undertested for at least in my community. Where I can easily do the test in the ER, I diagnose and treat many people with previously-unexplained epigastric abdominal…
The corresponding author on this is a very serious scientist, most of whose work is in metabolic resuscitation and cardiac arrest. It's cool to see him applying his skills to this leading cause of disability and…
That's great feedback. Thanks! I agree, icons would be helpful and could fit nicely into the aesthetic. I love that CookingForEngineers site. The original name I had suggested to her was Recipes for Engineers, since…
I love the open source model, and there's some good looking recipes here! Along similar lines, with similar goals, my wife and her dad have been building this as a pandemic project: https://www.recipereform.com/ -- I…
I can't believe they used the anal scan. This is too much like SmartPipe to be anything other than hilarious. It's where satire and reality meet back on the other side.
Pedantic point: If you’re intubation the esophagus, you’re doing it wrong. :-)
Thought for a second someone had posted this on HN: https://fridababy.com/products/windi - Which is a bit of a hack in itself, and one that I'm sure would have generated some interesting responses.
You're going to work as a "GP" with at most one third of the training of almost every other doctor in practice? Seems like you're shorting your future patients a bit. My advice as someone who sees a lot of patients who…
I disagree with some of the above posters. This is often confused with, but is not the same thing as, physician aid-in-dying or euthanasia. People do talk about this in hospitals, and it is appropriate treatment for…
Please consider some kind of roll cage if you're going to put a 2-3 year-old into this. In the United States we see a tremendous number of toddlers who are very, very badly injured (or killed) in ATV rollover injuries.…
Came here to post this. My favorite caricature of SV culture.
What pain relievers are much more effective than acetaminophen, and much higher in terms of safety? NSAIDs are a huge cause of bleeding and renal insufficiency. Tylenol is actually pretty good at treating pain in…
"Higher doses will lead to headaches and, paradoxically, tiredness and drowsiness — not stimulation." False. You're right in that it won't help them very much -- specifically because taking overdoses of amphetamines…
San Francisco ER doc here. See a lot of older dudes who weren't skateboarders to begin with breaking bones on these and more traditional longboards. I am a former skateboarder, and certainly don't think that…
This happens because psychiatric units will not take patients who are not "medically cleared". Meaning that, if a patient has any evidence of injury or medical illness (or they think that the symptoms may be caused by…
An excellent report on this subject: http://www.cacj.org/documents/sf_crime_lab/studies__misc_mat... More people should know this. There is a great piece in the Washington Post today about how a false positive result…
ER doc here. I have seen people in the ED with marijuana-related complaints. I can count the total number on my hands. Every single one of those patients has been absolutely fine. Am I aware of patients with…
ER doc here. I think that this is absolutely a large contributor of these mortality trends. There are so many more factors than just users turning to IV drugs / overdosing on rx meds though, and I think that's what…
EM resident with an interest in EHR design and development here -- this is really cool, I didn't take a close enough look at this in Annals in August but I'm reading about the spec now. Looks promising.
It's a horribly wasteful policy that makes no sense beyond increasing the political power of the fire department. According to one higher-up in the SFFD EMS, this has to do with the software used to dispatch apparatus…
