@ytk_lau @UCSFRheum Congrats! We are lucky to keep you!

So here we are. Match day 2024. I’m going to be a Rheumatologist. And what a delightful and exciting detour that is. Feels like I was trying to find this path all along. @UCSFRheum I am so lucky to get to learn from you. (10/)

On embracing little unexpected things: I spent a lot of time over the last two years a little sad. I felt lost in who I wanted to be in this profession. I spent so much time desperately trying to be a doctor, whats next felt daunting and scary. (1/) #MedTwitter #RheumTwitter

@Chandle74418127 @sargsyanz Are you a human and if so are you an adult or a child?

@sargsyanz Hmm, will be curious to see. Can see it being different combo of things (chronic alcohol use/vitamin deficiency driving mcv up and making normal, inflammation driving ferritin up etc), but happy to learn if more neat diagnosis is present.

Puzzle: My hemoglobin is 13.5 MCV is 90 Ferritin is 100 Iron sat is 23% But I am iron deficient. How can that be? Will post answer tomorrow.

@gcfmd @JavedButler1 @texhern @NMHheartdoc @HeartDocSadiya @AndrewJSauer @mvaduganathan @boback @BiykemB @HFSA I wonder if the steady increase of obesity in the same time period is contributing.

US trends in HF hospitalizations and HF-related mortality from 2010 to 2021 suggest that something has gone terribly wrong!

@UCSFENDOFELLOWS @ayekhineMD @UCSFIMChiefs Congratulations! #OneofAyeKhine.

Congratulations to first year endocrine fellow, Dr. Aye Khine @ayekhineMD , who was selected by IM house staff as the Endocrinology fellow of the year 2024 for her fantastic teaching on the wards. Great work Dr. Khine, well deserved! @UCSFIMChiefs #EndoTwitter

@nickmmark According to the aptly named Vampire study, they will likely have melena for a few days after eating (drinking?) blood. I suppose it depends on how often they feed. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Do vampires have melena 24/7/365?

Excited and grateful to stay on at UCSF for endocrine fellowship. @UCSFIMChiefs #endotwitter

@rabihmgeha Look at the emesis for blood/bile?

Shoot. We missed something.... A KEY data point point in that triage room. Think about it for a bit, friends. What else should we have done? More to come about this real-life case.

@CPSolvers @medrants @rabihmgeha @DxRxEdu @tony_breu @uabimres Amazing case and really enjoyed Tony Breu's tweetorial, thank you everyone! Thinking about the mechanism, I was recalling that stomach acid is also important for liberating dietary B12 for absorption. If his vitamin has B12, maybe it was helpful after all?

It's Thursday #medtwitter & time for an epic unknown from the one & only @medrants & Dr. Eckenrode! Listen to @rabihmgeha & @DxRxEdu's #clinicalreasoning today & lookout for @tony_breu's awesome #tweetorial tomorrow! @uabimres #FOAMed #MedEd #teachdx clinicalproblemsolving.com/2019/04/18/epi…

@ThisAmerLife Ira poses the question about this being one of the most impactful letters to the editor. What about the one saying Opioids are not addictive!!! Also to the NEJM no less. Seems like letters to the editor cause a ton of trouble when misinterpreted as scientific investigations.

@rabihmgeha @CPSolvers @DxRxEdu @Sharminzi A genetic test for a disease specific mutation? For example, cf?

Is there a single test (H+P, lab, imaging, micro, path, etc) that confirms (in the true sense of the word) a diagnosis? We'll link this thought back to one of my favorite concepts in medicine: Whipple's triad for hypoglycemia. @CPSolvers @DxRxEdu @Sharminzi @ArsalanDerakhs1
