Today I finally used my extensive training in the Krebs cycle from undergrad and medical school to diagnose and treat a patient. Just kidding. I rounded and did some caths.

RT @SVRaoMD: Interventional cardiology is largely a cognitive specialty rather than a technical one. Can’t have one without the other.

Option 1, valid based on evidence would be more appropriately labeled as valid based on lack of evidence. Our data for radial benefits are in association with PCI. To my knowledge, there hasn’t been a robust clinical trial for radial vs femoral cath for diagnostic only.

If an operator has a 0% rate of radial access for diagnostic LHC, is this.

I think BNP (and Pro BNP) have nearly eliminated clinical reasoning when it comes to diagnosing decompensated heart failure.

All states should adopt this law @AlHouseInfo @ALSenateRepubs @ALSenateDems. End this extortion by @ABIMcert.

Wow. That’s completely…reasonable.
We applaud the @IDSAInfo and their call for substantive changes to ABIM MOC: . ". it would be more relevant to allow physicians to be self-directed in their learning, requiring instead that they partake in a specific number of hours or credits in their medical educational.

I’m kinda surprised that @nationallampoon and @tylenol haven’t gotten together on a deal for a Christmas season edition of Tylenol, capitalizing on the slogan . Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where's the Tylenol?

In my opinion, the ideal training regimen:. 4 years college .4 years medical school.1 year intern (IM/transitional).3 year Cardiology residency.2 or 3 year Interventional Fellowship (train in all CHIP, SHD, PVD).
In the US education system, to become an interventional cardiologist…. 4y of college. 4y of medical school. 3y of IM residency. 3y of CV fellowship. 2y of IC fellowship. Assuming no gap years, that is a total of 16 years of training, after high school!!.

Walking outside of a patients room recently and heard the physician ask, “do you know where you are?”. Why was the first thing that jumped into my head. “You’re in the jungle, baby!”?.

Maybe I missed this, but when did picking your seats on a plane so as to sit with the person you’re traveling with becoming a fee and only intermittently honored?.
