Hillel Fuld Case in point:

The term pseudogout is an injustice to calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease ... A true injustice ... read for 5 min and learn an epic pearl ... Rabihhhhhh let's go

The injustice?
Pseudogout aka acute calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) arthritis only represents 25% of CPPD. Chronic…

In this episode of #AnnalsOnCall , Robert Centor MD MACP 🇮🇱 discusses how to go beyond statistical significance testing when interpreting study findings with Dr. David Savitz: ow.ly/rwWb50R7uJk

What do statistics of “significance” actually mean?

Note: Clear for non-math folks 🙂

eg Failure to show association ≠ Evidence there’s no association

eg p-value 0.8 does not necessarily mean it’s a null study

#UncleBob - a clinical reasoning thought - the goal of a case discussion varies. Sometimes its about the diagnosis, other times about what tests are need to make a diagnosis. Sometimes its about what is the best rx. The Clinical Problem Solvers Rabih Geha Reza Jake Scott, MD UAB IM Residency

While this may seem obvious, how many people actually do this. I tell my golf buddies, that while we love the game, we are also helping our longevity. We stay connected because we meet on the course regularly, and often have lunch together. And it is modest exercise.

Delighted to have Subha Ramani from Harvard Medical School present at UAB Department of Medicine grand rounds on innovation in education- placing the learner at the center of the lunar model.

#UncleBob - yesterday at our premiere clinical conference (the Tinsley conference - named after Dr. Harrison) the key construct that helped frame the discussion was a simple Problem Representation. the entire discussion flowed from that.

Great teaching occurs both at the bedside and in a comfortable area where we can ask questions and given constructive feedback without embarrassing learners. Point/Counterpoint: Should patients be presented before entering the room during ward rounds? …mpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Ngouagna Frank Robert Centor MD MACP 🇮🇱 Reza Rabih Geha ACP I totally agree. I enjoy and learn a lot during bedside teaching especially if the teacher is enthusiastic to share his/her knowledge and prods us students with questions 🙏🏿.

Steven Covey famously wrote: “The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing”. #MedEd The main reason we are called medical schools is to teach medicine. Too often the main thing is undervalued.

And I suspect that the 12% is really an underestimate. Many patients have 2 signs/symptoms, a chest Xray finding, but have a different diagnosis (TB, PJP, Histo, cancer, etc.)

Are you surprised?
In this 🆕️🔥cohort study JAMA Internal Medicine of 17 290 hospitalized patients treated for CAP, 2079 (12.0%) met criteria for inappropriate diagnosis* of whom 1821 (87.6%) received full antibiotic courses #IDXposts

There's no whinier human alive than the anti-Zionist Jews, most of them probably fake, who are now raging in the responses to my wife's extremely reasonable tweet.

A weird number of them are anonymous or actually entirely foreign people taking insult in the name of Jews. I'm…
