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."

Awesome that we're having a fucking real one out here with flu/COVID/RSV/norovirus and the government can't officially talk about it. *sigh* I really miss following MedTwitter for updates on COVID; I'm probably going to have to sign up for bsky this year to find them again.

My COVID test came back negative when I was peak symptomatic, and while I briefly had fever-like chills this weekend they didn't last; things certainly could have been worse. My thumb joint is still a little swollen but way better than it was a few days ago. And yes, I am practicing, I just have nothing interesting to report. Still trying to get used to my new bow grip deal. Having some interesting muscle memory conflicts with my right hand when I play stuff I learned last year...

I have repaired the secondhand crinoline I bought for my fondue dress (it just needed new elastic in the waistband and a mend of one small tear) and I think I am ready to go with that outfit. Which is good, because I am going to need a full month to get my new wool concert ensemble ready for March. How... how does this keep happening? What am I even doing here? LOL.

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

ID: (Tweet from Juhee Agrawal @juheemed) In a training session, a doctor said "just because your patients are resilient doesn't mean they aren't suffering." This concept of coexistence struck me. Resilience is often out of necessity, and doesn't mean someone is "okay." #MedTwitter

Text is followed by photo of people in a darkened room staring in shock while the following is projected on a screen:

History

37-year-old male with history of anxiety, attention deficit disorder, and chronic pain was brought in to the emergency department by paramedics. The patient was in his normal state of health at an end-of-life celebration for a friend with terminal pancreatic cancer. The patient's friend was prescribed a MAID (Medical Assistance In Dying) preparation as part of a physician-assisted suicide program. After the friend consumed part of the preparation and described it as bitter, this patient ingested an unknown-sized "sip" of the preparation containing:

-Diazepam 1000 mg -Digoxin 100 mg -Morphine 15000 mg -Amitriptyline 8000 mg -Phenobarbital 5000 mg

[ID: Text on white background with one section highlighted. Text:

The bystander states that the older man is a 'death with dignity' patient who invited loved ones to be present while he consumed the MAID medication. After his first swallow, he remarked, "Man, that burns!" [highlight begins] The younger man says, "Let me see," and then also took a swallow.[highlight ends] The attending paramedic instructs rescuers to begin ventilating the younger man.
