excellent example of twin twin transfusion syndrome. the donor is anemic, weak. the recipient is flush with nutrients, bloated.

it is the donor that does better

Air filtration and ventilation are incredibly effective public health safety interventions that have been underutilized during the pandemic. While masking and vaccines have been overly politicized, more people might agree that clean air benefits everyone in a similar way that clean water and sanitation practices prevent us from getting sick through other means. In this post, I will make the case for clean air, and introduce a homemade solution that can be widely implemented by lay people. (FYI: 3M scientists tested these DIY “Corsi-Rosenthal boxes” and concluded that they are effective. Figures from such tests and studies are included as a bonus in the last 3 slides.) Note: Despite their popularity during the pandemic, the box fan design concept was not invented by Corsi and Rosenthal. Woodworkers commonly used this design to filter fine wood dust in their workshops before the pandemic. Image descriptions will be provided in the comments.

Health

“ a state of complete internal, physical and social well- being and not simply the absence of complaint or infirmity.

@ronjonsarker ” This description resonates as it's the each- encompassing description.

Dr Jamal Naim, one of the pillars of dentistry in Gaza survived an airstrike by the #IOF while asleep at his house but his daughter and 9-mo old granddaughter did not! He holds her and says: “What did she do to get killed?” 💔

"...medical teams refused to leave the hospitals, staying behind to take care of patients in ICUs and NICUS who could not move without dying. This includes 48 premature babies whose incubators and respirators have since failed."

"... رفضت الفرق الطبية مغادرة المستشفيات، وبقيت هناك لرعاية المرضى في وحدات العناية المركزةICUs ورعاية الخدج NICUs الذين سيتسبب نقلهم بوفاتهم. ويشمل ذلك 48 طفلاً خديجًا تعطلت حاضناتهم وأجهزة التنفس الصناعي منذ ذلك الحين."

Text: "Another heartbreaking morning in Gaza, #IOF has just killed Dr Midhat Saidam, a senior plastic and burn surgeon at Shifa Hospital in #Gaza along with 30 of his family members as they targeted their home. Shame on #MedTwitter community that remains silent #NotATarget"

They love to spin that yarn about Hamas hiding in hospitals or wherever else, but aren't they clear war crimes and genocidal tactics to go picking off doctors, paramedics, etc.? In his own home, with his family, and the occupation's forces killed him.

Same thing.

today i got recommended a tweet by a med student on surgery talking about how confusing it is to learn all the different supplies we use

my twitter is private (plus i have no desire to be any part of medtwitter) but just in case a guide to that stuff might be useful to any med students who follow me, here goes:

Dressing Supplies (and other things you might find in the supply room)

Wound care is an entire field so this isn't so much a guide to that as it is what different things you should recognize on people who've just had surgery when you're rounding on a surgery service

Gauze (also called 4x4s): okay this one is pretty self-explanatory. comes in 2x2, 4x4, 4x8, used for closed wounds (gauze and tape), open wounds (often wet to dry; gauze moistened with saline covered with dry gauze; this does some debridement when you take it off), around drains and tubes (yes they make special drain sponges but those are useless for everything else so if you're going to carry something in your pocket i'd carry gauze)

Telfa/non-adherent gauze: this won't stick to wounds as much, used as initial dressing in the OR (under tegaderm)

Petroleum gauze: gauze soaked in petroleum jelly, for wounds that you want to keep moist

Xeroform gauze: petroleum gauze impregnated with iodine (we use this for amputations, both guillotine and formal)

Kerlix: a roll of gauze. good for wrapping limbs to keep dressings in place

Ace wrap: okay everyone probably knows what this is. also good for wrapping limbs when you want compression (post-op amputation stumps, DVTs with leg swelling, etc.)

Tegaderm: clear plastic adhesive dressing, used as initial dressing in the OR (over telfa or gauze), for dressings around drains and tubes, for occlusive dressing (when removing a chest tube or central line), to secure IVs, etc, etc

Tape: comes in several varieties. paper tape is the least sticky and least irritating to skin, so that's usually what we use for dressings that don't have to be water tight (like after we've taken off the initial OR dressings and we're just using dry gauze). silk tape is very sticky, great for sticking dressings to other parts of the dressings, securing tube connections, keeping NG tubes in place (one of the rare times when I put silk tape on skin)

Suture removal kit: contains scissors, really shitty forceps, and some gauze. more importantly, it's probably the most expedient way to obtain a scissor on a surgical floor

as a med student, one of your jobs is to be prepared for dressing changes on rounds. as you go along, you'll learn which patients need what but in general, it's good to carry some gauze, paper tape, and a scissor at all times. that's what all those pockets are good for!

anyway, i hope this is helpful! if there's anything else that would be helpful for surgery clerkship, let me know!

medtwitter has really cool resources about cases which is legal and actually super helpful when anonymized

Light at the end of the tunnel

I know Tumblr isn't really a thing anymore, #medtwitter has taken over but it is really crazy to think that I am applying for residency now and that I will be done in a couple months. 

I am thankful for how far I have come, idk how excited I am about residency (b/c I am lazy lol) and we essentially work for pennies but if you a are pre-med or still in med school keep pushing
