The question I've been asked most as we endure the legal dumpster fire that is the Trump Administration is, "What can we do about it when it's not election season?" @timothynoah.bsky.social has an outstanding essay in the @newrepublic.com addressing that question. newrepublic.com/article/1931...

I've never been to an M&M about kidney injury attributable to iodinated contrast. I've been to several M&Ms for adverse outcomes from missed/delayed diagnoses because people hesitated to use IV contrast for fear of what we now know to be a ghost

Some reflections on why we don't often think about the microbiologic DDx of pneumonia up front, & how to make diagnostic progress after initial empiric therapy failure. How else can we think about this? 🤔 Help!

Probably my favorite case of our podcast so far -- the ending leaves you with a pathophysiologic, analogic reasoning principle you can carry forward to distant problems. @mikearcieri.bsky.social's brilliant case & teaching now available for you all at the links below!

@juancarlosqvelez.bsky.social for undiagnosed SLE GN (understanding there are different subtypes), if you trend UAs will you sometimes see the # of RBCs wax/wane - where for few days you have many, then months later, none? Have case of UAs like this w/ non-nephrotic range proteinuria.

Example of an appropriately low testing threshold 90%+ of the time it’s sepsis, malnutrition, exposure. But life-threatening and easily treatable endocrinopathies diagnosable with a couple-dollar lab test? Only need a 1/50 (if not lower) probability to be worth testing

I was recently thinking about the fact that discharge summaries are often more important than H&Ps, but we spend less time teaching how to write them, and they have less standardization in format & content. Does anyone have a favorite “definitive” guide to what a dc summary should look like?

Related to this post: we should really start emphasizing that dc summaries are not just useful for continuity of care post-discharge, but also help learners refine their management reasoning. Writing a good dc summary helps the writer refresh what did and didn’t go well during the hospitalization.
