I just had a question for board prep on TrueLearn about #burnout. So... if you listen to my #wellbeing talks, you're really just studying for boards 😆 #intraining #wellness #burnout #neurology

One of my UK Sanders-Brown Center on Aging coworkers made me a nameplate for my office since I didn't have one yet, and I'm obsessed (it matches the pin Patricia Olson got me that i wear daily on my white coat!!)

Update: Invitae/Labcorp just announced that they are sunsetting the sponsored Comprehensive Neuropathy Panel on October 26, 2024. In other words, CMT testing may not be free to patients after that.

I did a practice interview for med school once. She told me I laughed too much & was too happy. She attacked who I was at my core. I refused to take her advice. 10 years later, I'm thriving and happy as ever. Some advice is not meant to be taken; it's fuel for your fire.

I just watched an emotional tik tok of a gentleman's first day of assisted living done as a first day of school video and I will never be the same. I can think of no better way to serve my patients than to help them age with dignity. #emotional #gracefulaging #wrecked #geriatrics

Update, grandpa Jerry made friends his first day! tiktok.com/t/ZTFR4SqM3/

This has come up while treating my #dementia patients. Based on this metanalysis from 2018, vpa is likely ineffective and increases chance for side effects. Thoughts? I see this commonly done still, and as a trainee I'm just curious people's thoughts. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30293233/

1/Hate it when one radiologist called the stenosis mild, the next one said moderate--but it was unchanged?! How do you grade it? Do you estimate? Measure? Guess??? Here’s a thread about a lumbar grading system that’s easy, reproducible & evidence-based!

Can't wait!!

My superpower is that I can fall asleep within 13 seconds and hit REM within an hour. #intraining #eatwhenyoucansleepwhenyouvan #thesecretissleepdeprivation
