Do you guys have a note service?

Not really a note service, but our power points are posted online. So it's easy to go back to the actual lectures, but sometimes hard to keep up with what they say that's not on the powerpoint.

Another note to med students (and residents)

baffledinbrooklyn replied to your post: Med Students: Use Your Brains!

This reminds me of when I ask a resident to read an EKG and they read the automatic interpretation on top. WHICH IS ALWAYS WRONG. ALWAYS.

Guys, seriously. A computer? The computer doesn't know a P wave from artifact. Seriously. Learn how to read it yourself. The same goes for x-rays.

Found this insightful website on the vaccine vs autism debate.

baffledinbrooklyn replied to your post:We found Dr. Baffled, he was in the fourth floor server room, hollering into a server's DVD drive that the "Paperclip bastard" come out and take the whipping it needed. He then accosted a tape robot who reminded him of "the salt-shaker aliens on the television" and nearly broke a leg after falling through a strategically removed raised-floor tile. Once in the stunned state, a junior admin comforted Baffled who went back to whatever he does when he's NOT IN MY SERVER ROOM.

That paper clip bastard is gonna get what it has coming if I have to track it to the end of the earth.

There, there.

We are at a Chinese restaurant. There was a fantastic drink menu that we decided needed to happen. This is the Volcano. You can tell because of the Hawaiian landscape on the bowl in which it was delivered. It tastes like rum and rum. And citrus punch. I think I lost this game.

Didn’t they call 130s/80s pre-hypertension at one point? Did they finally admit that was dumb? HTN doesn’t come up much in pediatrics ;-)

I don't think they've admitted it was dumb (yet), but I've read research that being considered prehypertensive doesn't correlate to an increase in mortality, only really an increased chance of developing hypertension.

So I ended up going with pancakes, omelette, and plain OJ.

As long as you only eat TODAY’S pancakes.

Yes, today's only. I have tomorrow's in the freezer.

I would grab a chocolate bar for dessert. You know, just to be safe ;-)

Very wise, my friend. Very wise.

I’ve never understood why people do Med/Peds instead of Family Medicine.

I'm still learning the reasons why, too! I notice two themes: one is those who are interest in a certain type of diseases like congenital heart disease or sickle cell, where kids become adults with equally if not more complicated health issues. The other theme is this particular desire to be in hospitals. But I think that's just the program at my institution, because the residents I have met are all big fans of remaining in hospitals, acute care, or large institutions. 

As I learn, I will report back, Dean Baffled!

Why do ads always say attorney at law? What else can you be an attorney at?

The prominence of the legal profession has, sadly, obscured other professions that utilize the title of “attorney.”  Society has all but forgotten the following usage:

Attorney at Soothsaying

Attorney at Witchcraft

Attorney at Inquisition

Attorney at Bloodsport

Attorney at Beer

CODER GOMER WALDO. I REPEAT, CODE GOMER WALDO.

DR. BARTHOLOMEW JAY BAFFLED HAS GONE MISSING. IF FOUND, PLEASE RETURN HIM TO THE ADMIN OFFICES.

baffledinbrooklyn replied to your post:I'm done golfing

You golf now?

No, no I do not.  And it's confirmed I don't.  I'm fairly certain I pulled muscles and nearly killed everyone around me swinging a club like a neanderthal.  Good times.

baffledinbrooklyn replied to your post:How do you deal with losing a patient?

When I lose one of my patients at PMTH, I call the lost and found. (Too soon?)

Or a code Waldo. Whichever.
