My new nickname for Rabih Geha in terms of diagnostic reasoning GPT 5.0 We are thinking of having a competition between UCLA and LAVA. Technically Rabih is a VA doctor so he will be on our team. LOLOL

The best book for internal medicine. Andre has created a masterpiece that should be required reading.

This is, again, yet another example of why what Rabih Geha and Reza have created is not only the best way to learn medicine, but also a genuine teaching for life. The Clinical Problem Solvers rlrcpsolvers.com/podcast/case-c…

One final sunrise before a final sunset today. In the cruelest way possible, while my father lay ill, my mother, by his side every day, suffered a hemorrhagic stroke. Know life is so fragile, and if my mom has taught me anything, it’s to be kind and assure people are fed 😔

One of the kindest people I know ❤️ Congratulations!!!!

Why should you come to UCLA for IM residency? We are dedicated to promoting your ability to reason through cases. Below (every other week) is courtesy of our UCLA Internal Medicine Chief Residents We have also launched a new weekly conference dedicated to clinical reasoning hosted by me and Will.

Epic VMR discussion w/ Rabih Geha Patient with headache and fever. Often HA is a bystander - not representative of meningitis. Then developed confusion. HA + fever + confusion = meningitis + encephalitis aka meningoencephalitis Then developed LE weakness w/ hyporeflexia.

I wonder how I’m so lucky sometimes. I get to listen to Rabih discuss medicine every Sunday (one on one for our rlr podcast). He truly is special. He keeps pushing me to be better. Rabih Geha your teaching today was truly out of this world.

Today one of my mentors is teaching medicine on VMR!! He is smart, kind, and a huge reason many of us succeeded at Hopkins. Dr. Gelber can't wait for your discussion at 4pm PST. Sign up here to join for free clinicalproblemsolving.com/learn-live/
