@JMGardnerMD @mvmd0908 Seborrheic keratosis on a stick 🍡

What would you call this lesion? Here's what I called it: youtu.be/248j6YXOy6o?si…. (PS - it looks like a bonsai tree to me!) #pathologists #pathTwitter #dermatology #dermatologia #dermtwitter

@drkeithsiau Most cases I've been seeing are SCC. Unknown origin.

You find this palpable lump in a patient with abdominal pain and weight loss. What’s the diagnosis?

@TalktoBPI BPI! Yun chat box nyo na AI ano ano sinasagot. Limited na choice na nga wala pa sa tanong mga sagot..

@drkeithsiau @yomamasmonolog2 I know "a girl's vagus" sounds more clinically appropriate.

@yomamasmonolog2 That sounds less X-rated than the mnemonic I learnt 😅

What is the name and significance of the long structure shown here?

@anonfunct @hemo_shk You have my upvote!

@hemo_shk Wait, i thought it was ginger

Extracted from a patient with recurrent urinary tract infections. What’s the diagnosis?

@HENRYY_MD @glinglerimek Always a beauty among all skin lesions for me.. and molluscum, and cylindroma..

@glinglerimek It is an art, right?😊

This Keratoacanthoma does resemble a Volcano Eruption! #dermpath #PathTwitter #pathresidents

@drkeithsiau Can we check Trump's CT as well?

How is this possible?!

@BenServiceNotes Endocervical gland extension of HSIL

Experts Argue Over Cytology Images_72 Many HSIL Some AIS Few Adenocarcinoma One SCC Me AIS What's your opinion?

@pathognosis22 Which one is it. I can see 2 classics.

Can you diagnose this classic entity from just one picture? #Haempath #Hemat #emergency #WHO

@yoganandht @drkeithsiau Saw the report. They used vials for multiple doses. Needle is only for the draw of medications. It's the syringe body being reused. Problem is the PX are ina an IV cannula. Reflux of blood always happens. Great theory. Reality physics bites.

@drkeithsiau Reusing syringes/needles is absolutely criminal to say the least. I was just speculating about ways by which transmission can occur.

According to a shocking report by BBC News, 331 children tested positive for HIV in one single city in Pakistan, likely due to transmission through infected syringes. These children were diagnosed within a single year in the Punjab province of Pakistan. Investigators ruled out vertical transmission in the majority of cases where mothers tested negative. Staff were seen to reuse syringe bodies (after changing the needle). Medical procedures were commonly performed without gloves. Some children have sadly died of complications of HIV, and the fate of many remains unclear. An important learning point was found - a syringe contains a needle connected to the syringe body. Even if you change the needle, the syringe body can still be a reservoir for infection. If you see this in your practice, please point it out, as this can avoid an unnecessary tragedy.

@Puregold_PH Palitan nyo na POS nyo pakiusap. Ang bagaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallll ng credit card transaction 🙁🙁🙁

@hermionelee82 @ricci_richy Also Philhealth pays what is feels is a ln appropriate amount in terms of hospital cost and pfs. If your MD charges 1million for dengue, Philhealth is certainly not going to pay for that. Same with hospital bills. Remembr private hospitals are in this for money.

@hermionelee82 @ricci_richy Before people blame Philhealth, just remember it is government funds. Expect most benefit to come from government hospitals. Private hospital are created to generate money. Their goal is profit. So don't expect Philhealth to cover everything in private care.

Happened to me. Got hospitalized for what I thought was just a severe stomachache but was ruled out to be ruptured appendix. Since I have HMO, I went to a private hospital. The total bill was ₱260K+. Philhealth paid 8K. The rest was covered by my HMO. Thank God I have HMO.

This is just one of the most important news of the day.

AI can replace you

@docakx That bug can be found all over the world, but the disease can only be found in the Americas (at least endemic)

The bite by this insect gave her long standing fatigue and palpitations. She consulted many doctor for her fatigue and palpitations. Can you diagnose?
