When I was a child I used to eat the red wax cover on babybel cheese. I thought it made it “artisanal” until one day my friend showed me how to peel it off and I was so greatful I didn’t have to eat the wax part. Anyways they somehow let me into med school

IM taught me habits that ended up being really important 1. Whenever you check calcium immediately after check albumin, just make it a habit to check them at the same time. 2. ALWAYS compare labs to patient baseline 3. Read the previous note, but verify info w/pt

She’s right. we as physicians have been forced into this culture of publishing an insane amount of sub-par not useful research. Many of us are not physician-scientists and thus should not be trying to publish the garbage we do.

If all the MDs up and decide they want to do research, who is going to practice medicine? I guess all the PhDs. We can learn to diagnose, intubate, and prescribe in a month, right? Like y’all do a month long research rotation and be ready to publish “groundbreaking” research.
