Given the patient’s malignancy, high WBC and the discrepancy in potassium labs, we suspected pseudohyperkalemia! 🧐
Pseudohyperkalemia occurs in patients with hematologic disorders and marked leukocytosis due to release of K from the breakage of fragile WBC. 8/

It’s actually not important at all. What’s ACTUALLY important is that George Floyd was murdered and the responsible police officers need to be punished. We need to stop trying to find reasons to justify what happened. There are none.
Important from autopsy: The combined effect of George Floyd being restrained by the police, along with his underlying health conditions and any potential intoxicants in his system likely contributed to his death, according to the criminal complaint.

A 🔥 thread on maternal codes. Hoping it never ever happens🤞🏽but I *have* had pregnant/peri-partum patients on our Cardiology (floor/CCU) services lately and as the senior resident (and thus code leader) this is incredibly helpful to know.
🚨Code Blue🚨 = patient in cardiac arrest. You've got your ACLS algorithms ready to go.
But…what if that patient is PREGNANT? 😳
I’ll leave ACLS pearls to my Medicine and EM colleagues. They all still apply! Here are a few notable things about running a maternal code.

This is so real. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve called our pharmacists asking for help and almost always the conversation leaves me feeling calmer and more reassured 🙏🏽
Pharmacists out there, does part of your curriculum include a course called “kindness and patience via telephone”
Bc uniformly 100% of the time you all are SO nice and SO helpful during my many, many struggling resident phone calls.

I’m at work today. I started wearing my mask when I left my house at 5:30 am, and I’ll continue to wear it until I get home at 7:30 pm. Thank you in advance for wearing one when you go out to run your errands/pick up dinner/go for a walk 🙏🏽 - your friendly neighborhood doctor
Health care workers wear masks for 5+ hours non-stop. You can wear one for 45 minutes.

First day of intern year! ✅ As I left work, I realized how tough these first few months will be. But I was also so excited to take care of patients and be their doc 👨🏻⚕️. My goal every day will be to do right by my patients. Everything else will fall into place 🙏🏽

Beta blockers are a first line agent for treatment of hypertension!
Hydralazine/ISDN are my preferred GDMT for HFrEF patients!

I’m back on echo and having a blast scanning with our amazing techs.
A patient, to the tech, while I was scanning: “I think the doctor is substituting pressure for technique.”
Touché, sir 😂

As a resident, I spend most of my waking hours desperately trying to make sure that people DON’T die. Every death I witness drives daggers into my soul and weighs heavily on my conscience. To see a cop take someone’s life away like this...is unspeakably horrific and disgusting.
The police officer who killed George Floyd should be charged with murder.

Well, the pseudohyperkalemia phenomenon is especially pronounced if there is heparin-induced cell membrane damage 🤔.
The serum K was drawn into a tube that did NOT contain heparin...but the whole blood K was drawn in a heparin containing tube. 11/

I had an affirming patient experience recently. When I was in the MICU I took care of a young patient, not much older than me, who had been very sick, on ECMO, intubated, deconditioned. A month later, I was walking into work and ran into him outside.
