@jasonryanmd We see it across specialties as well, we love spending lots of time on the rare/“interesting” cases but not enough time is spent on the bread and butter cases and just as important is the pitfalls in “easy” cases

When I was chief resident I had to find “interesting” cases for conferences. We wanted unusual diagnoses or tricky management decisions. Usually, 95% of the cases in house weren’t like this. They were mostly failure to thrive, needs placement, poorly controlled chronic issues, etc. Very little of the care had to do with diagnosis and management, most was social issues and age-related decline among the elderly. I had to cherry pick a tiny sliver of clinically-challenging cases for the residents, if I could even find any. Always struck me that there is such a divide between how we teach medicine and how it is in actual practice.

It would be great for humanity if AI replaced doctors ASAP. Human doctors are forced to memorize a lot of information, are relatively poor at retrieving it, and frequently make mistakes. In addition, the system is completely rigged to restrict supply. AI is far better than humans at these tasks and makes fewer mistakes. The sooner we can adopt AI in healthcare, the better

Absolutely wild sitting next to my good friend (nocturnal IM hospitalist APRN at hospital I work for), realizing we are doing the 👏🏼exact👏🏼same👏🏼job👏🏼, overseen by attendings, him with several years less training than I, yet the hospital pays him 1.7x what I make.

If your status post a recent cholecystectomy with some hypoxia and hypotension. I definitely think a noncontrast CT of the neck, chest, abdomen a pelvis with a head CT is a fantastic initial work up option from the emergency department

Why does cardiac arrest from choking on a marshmallow require a CT of the head, neck, chest, abdomen and pelvis? (and don't forget the thoracic and lumbar spine recons)

I think my #1 career goal as a radiologist is to remove the ability to click the default indication of ‘trauma,’ when ordering a study.
