special✨️
1) It is not over until it is done and dusted. We won it from 30 off 30 to winning by margin of 7 runs. The darkest hour is before dawn so keep calm and believe in providence
2) Rely on your experience in crisis🧵
Mindblowing takeaway points from today class at DAMS
#MedTwitter
- Omeprazole must best be avoided for gastritis/pain abdomen in a patient on clopidogrel (Note for interns!). It has drug interaction reducing the action of clopidogrel
-Monteleukast can cause Chrug Strauss
1) Your SR scolds you for writing HbA1c to an anemic patient because in such a patient the values will be falsely high. What investigation to order instead?
2) What is term for glycated albumin?
3) RBC transaminase levels are used to assay which vitamin deficiency?

Mindblowing things I learnt today✨️🧵
1) DOC a) Serotonin syndrome b) Cheese reaction
2) Macewen sign vs MacEvans sign

Respected clinicians of Twitter, this question left me with more question than answers...Interesting question from

A month full of ironies, dilemmas, grinds & fun, sweet&sour, ups & downs. Suddenly all comes to an interval cliffhanger with AIR 4380. The most dramatic month of my life already and there are still 7 more days remaining this month..🧵
3) In a subtype torsion of appendix of testes, we get the classic and specific "blue dot sign". The most common wrong answer is to operate, the correct mode of management is expectant management/wait and watch.
Mindblown I am🤯. Medical field is so intricately woven❤️✨️
2) Hypospadias must be corrected before 18 months. It has 3 reasons
a) To correct the deformity before school going age to avoid social embarrassment
b) The baby is blessed with physiologic amnesia till 18 months age
c) Psychosexual development starts at 18 months

For info this residency system was devised by Halsted..The person because of whom I'm quitting gen medicine/surgery as a prospective branch😤
I can read for 16 hours a day everyday but can't work for 24 hours even a single day and keep sane☠️
Who TF came up with the idea of 24hrs+ shifts for doctors & why have we just accepted it?!!

We need to move on from archaic 24 hour shifts.Medical field needs 12 hr shifts. Period. I have personally seen incidents of patients losing lives just due to sleep deprived doctor's negligence.
Fun fact: Halsted devised radical mastectomy, but has a darker side to him, a cocaine and heroin addict. Yes we are in the footsteps of a drug addict's routine and I can never "normalise" it
