Weird PLEX but okay
Completed my first total plasma exchange (TPE). Removing all the plasma in my body and replacing with Albumin. This is different from what I did last year: removing 1 L of plasma from my body and then replacing it with 1 L of plasma from my blood boy @talmagejohnson_ . I gave

It is a profound honor to receive the VA David Worthen Rising Star Award for excellence in health professions education. I am beyond grateful for the village of people- mentors, colleagues, trainees, and patients- who have helped to shape me as a physician and educator.

🧵for the new residents and students on the meaning of 'French' and 'Gauge'. We've covered this on here in the past, but a lot of new people are starting on surgical rotations, so let's look at them again. As usual, we'll cover their history and what they mean. (1/ )

This is your periodic reminder that a chest x-ray has the same level of radiation exposure as eating 1000 bananas. A lethal dose of radiation is the same as eating 100,000,000 bananas. Though eating 100,000,000 bananas in a sitting probably isn't good for you either.

The greatest unit of measurement has to be the Banana Equivalent Dose (BED) for radiation exposure. Though I do wonder if it just makes people afraid to eat bananas rather than helping them understand ionizing radiation exposure.

I’ve had a great time attending my first SHM Converge. It was a blast competing in the Med-Ted teaching competition with such talented educators and a huge honor to win. Grateful to @ChrisMoriates, @SatyaPatelMD and so many others at VA GLA/UCLA for their support. #SHMConverge24
The inaugural SHM MED-TED Teaching Competition was incredible! Thank you to our amazing presenters for their time and dedication to teaching! A truly fantastic group of educators!

Great to see all the hard work of @SatyaPatelMD who created Podcast Club being recognized here.
The GLA hospitalist division innovated in the curricular space by making a podcast club akin to traditional journal club. MedEd podcasts were vetted by faculty and experts were invited to weigh in (even our chair of medicine, Dr. Zhaoping!)" #HPEWeek2024

The coffee was mediocre at best, but for this man it was worth risking his life for. My essay, "The Coffee Contract," in @JHospMedicine about remembering what really matters in the hospital: https://t.co/Tq8CPFKF0h
