Reintroduction time! I’m a Med-Peds and adult ID physician dabbling in medical illustration/comics. You may recognize my “Pressors as Marvel Avengers” series, Core IM art, or other visual mnemonics. Follow me for more MedEd…looking forward to connecting with #MedSky, #IDSky, and #SciArt! ! 😊🎨🦠

The second mnemonic is “ABCDEFGHI”, which stands for airway, bones, cardiac silhouette, diaphragm, effusions, fields, gastric bubble, hila, and impression.
