John Bloch MD MPH

As I finish up residency, a bit of (statistical) reflection. Some time early in intern year I started tracking the number of patients I took care of. The final numbers: Grady nightfloat admissions: 133 Grady inpatient: 430 Emory patients: 299 VA: didn’t track because CPRS

@FearTheBrown I don’t find it funny

Ayton in deep drop is hilarious he's actually just asleep letting his guys just die on screens

Question for #livertwitter Are any of you measuring handgrip strength in clinic as part of a malnutrition/sarcopenia/frailty assessment? If so, what device and cutoffs are you using and are you tracking longitudinally?

@DrBloodandGuts I’d be worried about my ability to maintain good contact with bicap so I would probably inject with epi and then TTS clips.

How would you treat this visible vessel in this incisura ulcer ? Remember you’re in full retroflexion! #GITwitter

@FearTheBrown I’ll play witchu

I think I'm gonna get good at disc golf

@IhabFathiSulima Silver stools indicative of ampullary malignancy. Biliary obstruction paired with intestinal bleeding from the mass produce acholic + melenic stools which appear silver.

A Patient With painless #Jaundice is his stools. What is the description or physical sign? What is the diagnosis? #medicine #MedTwitter #MedEd #MedEd

@Coach_Besaw You gotta step in and make sure they don’t lose to the tarheels!

I bought an XBox to specifically relive the good ole days and I’ve been waiting for the sticks for 3 days now….

Congrats to our 2024 GI fellowship graduates! We look forward to following your careers as you continue to flourish. Good luck in your next chapters!

@FearTheBrown I like everything about it except the 2029 first. I don’t like owing picks out that far.

I don't get what Portland is doing

@drkeithsiau Can’t wait to 360 no-scope headshot a tubular adenoma.

Robotic colonoscopy - a flexible short segment endoscope propelled by a game controller which allows for painless unsedated colonoscopy. Any thoughts? #BSGLive24

@FearTheBrown You sure stirred up some stuff buddy. But I agree 100%. The things New Orleans does well are excellent, but there are huge gaps. Especially for vegetarians.

My hottest take will forever will be that while Louisiana and New Orleans may be excellent at what they do, they are actually not good food locations when it comes to variety.

@wilbur_tweets We watched the first half of the season and kinda fell off. Should we revisit it?

@wilbur_tweets Damn that really puts the ass in assassin

Thank you for taking the time to interview me for this position, as I’m excited at the prospect of joining your institution. I believe I’m highly qualified and that my CV speaks for itself (as you can see, I’m the quack that killed the president).

Medicine is just a bunch of people in pajamas, who voluntarily locked themselves in a building, running around screaming acronyms at each other.

Congrats to 3rd-year fellow Eric Lorio on his recent publication in JPGN! Read about the risk factors for ERCP in pediatrics, including how complications differ between age groups. An interesting perspective in an emerging field!
