Diagnosis is difficult- and rare disease diagnosis is inherently more challenging. How can we do better than simply having a "high index of suspicion"?
Ever consider what needs to go right to dx a rare condition in a busy modern clinic? In this @JournalGIM paper @venuskev, @KwanJanice and I present strategies for individuals, clinics, and systems to become better diagnosticians and where future may lead

Fantastic thread highlighting the recent ACC/AHA Perioperative guideline update.
It was an incredible experience to be on the writing committee for the 2024 ACC/AHA Perioperative Guidelines, released earlier in September 2024. Here is a thread featuring major takeaways from the new Perioperative guidelines. (from perspective of a cardiologist) #ACCAHAPerioperativeGuidelines #AHA24 We have a session at #AHA24 on Monday, Nov 18th, 8 am. Please plan to join.

@katiewiskar During exam prep we would rhyme off “TBlymphomafungalsarcoid” as if it was one disease. Maybe something about granuloma-forming diseases?

@WKSilverstein @ONThealth @Michael_Hillmer @NathanStall @JonZipursky @Sunnybrook @UofT_DoM This is great stuff- congrats. Did you have any data about % patients who started bisphosphonate during their index hospitalization (post op)? I often wonder if this is a missed opportunity once vit D and Ca derangements are ruled out. Or had it on dc script?@AngelaMCheung

A lot of good advice in this thread- especially re: transfer timing and decisions. I often debrief with trainees when ward resuscitations have been challenging or inefficient- it’s very difficult to care for critically ill patients outside of a critical care environment.
It is hard resuscitating patients on the ward 🏥 You don't have the same resources, personnel, or familiarity with the physical space. This can lead to slow and clunky resuscitations. 🦥 Here are 10 tips for smooth resuscitations on the ward that I learned as a paramedic (and now ICU doctor) 🚑 #medtwitter #foamed #foamcc
