Dr. Alison Grazioli discussed the response to diuretics in HF:
🫀My poster on Myotonic Dystrophy case:
🔸 Risks of both brady- and tachyarrhythmias are present.
🔸 Anticoagulation per guidelines for AFib or flutter.
🔸 Neuromuscular symptoms are associated with increased cardiac risk.

I saw this today and I love it!
In the world of competition -medicine-it’s important to understand that there is room for everyone to grow and shine in their own way ✨
The more ‘wins’ we have, the better patient care, the better the system, the better the world of medicine.

I got accepted to JHSPH when the pandemic started; not for a second did my father hesitate to support my education- knowing that all his savings are held up in Lebanon & he’s 70🫀! 🥹

I urge PDs not to give false hope to applicants! Don’t call and be promising then choose someone else due to “last min changes”.
The match process is an emotional roller coaster and devastating enough.. that’s highly unprofessional. My heart aches for my friend.

I take every opportunity to discuss the cases with the specialists rather than just getting recommendations. It’s amazing how much you can learn in a 5-10 mins consult!
Intern tip: Qs are always followed by “for educational purposes- intern here!” & they love it!😄

My dad’s A1c% is 7.6% today!! 😍
Since that time, I recommended he adds Empagliflozin to his diabetic management, better CGM tracking, better diet (as much as a 68 years old can commit) and it worked! 😄
May your loved ones be healthy & safe 🙏🏻
