My 13 year old Daughter died from #BrainCancer 4,679 days ago. 💔 I would LOVE to see my Ashley’s name 4,679 times in comments for all the days she’s been missing. When you lose a Child, the most beautiful word you can hear is their name. ❤️ A Repost & Follow would mean the world to us to keep our Ashley’s story alive. 💜 𝒜𝓈𝒽𝓁𝑒𝓎 💜

ACCOUNTING FOR A REALLY HIGH RBC COUNT Yesterday I posted a single value: an RBC count of 8.89 x 10^12/L and asked for a story. The answer is either polycythemia or thalassemia (the latter is less likely because the RBCs would have to be really tiny to reach a low-normal Hct).

1/2 HEPARIN ASSAYS (anti-Xa activity levels) In our institution, the aPTT has been largely abandoned in favor of anti-Xa activity levels to monitor UFH therapy. So now we have "heparin level" (anti-Xa assay for UFH) and "LMWH level" (anti-Xa assay for UFH).

@AaronGoodman33 I think this is a broad statement. Advanced cancer can mean a lot of things. In general if someone has a short life expectancy of course they don’t need a screening colonoscopy. But this is vague. I do love your posts tho!

There was a neurology attending I rotated with as an intern in '97 who would check off *all* the boxes on lab slips because, you know, every once and a while he would "find something". I think that guy almost single-handedly ushered in the era of prior authorizations. MTHFR?! 🤦‍♂️

Thank you for having me @WCVB and for shining a light on the critical need for #BloodDonation during this historic shortage. Our patients living with #SickleCell depend on blood transfusions during the scariest moments of the disease. A donor can literally save a life.

Ceci died unexpectedly on Dec 5, 2022 at 14 months old. She was our daughter & we are devastated. She was so smart, smiley, stubborn & squishy. She adored the rabbits in our yard & playing with her nanny “Shang NaiNai” & sisters. She is loved & missed beyond comprehension (1/5).
