Best of luck! I matched psychiatry and then switched to IM after my first year. Paths are often more circuitous in reality than they appear.

Book is more of the same. Feels like solid, practical advice in the “keep it simple, stupid” approach. I really enjoyed it.

Back in ER today. Being a doctor mom is both a blessing—I speak doctor and can translate—and a curse.

Very little need to “control” the BP in the hospital (when asymptomatic HTN without acute end organ dysfunction) especially with intermittent short-acting meds. Very few actual indications for clonidine, in or outpatient.

I. Hate. Intermittent. IV. Hydralazine. 1) asymptomatic elevated BP needs nothing acutely 2) rest is often better than meds

I got calls/pages like this all the time. I hope we can see more studies that expand on these findings. We need to remember to treat patients and not numbers. #Medsky

I have read a bunch this year. Top picks so far: “House by the Cerulean Sea” by TJ Klune, “Old Man’s War” series by John Scalzi, everything by Carl Hiaasen but “Squeeze” was particularly funny and “Bad Monkey” was just made into a streaming show.

J Cowart MD @doctivist.bsky.social · 14/11/2024
I read basically everything by @scalzi.com this year. Starter Villain was fun and so was Kaiju Preservation Society. I can’t wait for another Old Man’s War book.

I went from never watching #dwts to watching two seasons simultaneously (one live, one streaming) and crying when someone gets voted off. Also crying when a dance is moving or a dancer cries. Just crying really.
