@Factor_XII @EpicShares On our Epic I use “.lastweight” and and enter 10 for the 10 most recent weights (inpatient and outpatient). Not perfect but a quick easy look

Picking up a new patient as a hospitalist? Look at the weight trend over a year — I find this to be a helpful screening tool for general “badness.” @EpicShares PLEASE make weights easier to access and trend over time!

@IP_DOC @UCLA_IP Spicy airway alright 🌶️🌶️

“Can you start my case?” they said… “It’s really straightforward” they said… #criticalairway #trachealstenosis #cauteryknife #cryo #balloon #injection @UCLA_IP

@OtisBRickman @VUMCLung Mucosal surface looks like papilloma, but malignancy always possible. Debulk, sent frozen, consider ablating base with APC or cryo pending path and integrity of posterior membrane

This is what we saw! Distal trachea just above MC. Vitals good. Got chest rise with jet. What is percent/grade obstruction? Does this narrow your DDX? What is the next step? #iptwitter #pulmtwitter #thoracics #airway

50 y/o male never smoker. Rx for asthma. Dyspnea, wheezing cough progressing for months. Really bad past week. No hemoptysis. Give me your DDX and management plan? Tweetorial to follow......#IPTwitter #Thoracics #pulmtwitter #bronchoscopy

@Dr_Oubre Scary. Albuterol should be over the counter. Paradoxically, in the US, an epinephrine inhaler is available over the counter — Primatene mist. So many asthma/COPD visits could be prevented by allowing appropriate albuterol rescue inhalers to be OTC/easy access.

It’s good to be alive today. The impending sense of doom while wheezing for the first time in your life and watching your BP drop as you slowly lose consciousness is not fun. Oh and Epi pens should be free, widely available and should come with AEDs in public places. 🙏

I developed anaphylaxis to an allergy shot yesterday morning. An NP and a few nurses saved my life. They did a great job of identifying early symptoms and did not delay in giving me Epi. Took care of my kid during the episode too. Remember, anaphylaxis ➡️ Epi 1st. Not steroids.
