Yesterday I randomly remembered that back in Pakistan, during house job, we never got an assigned day off. House officers work 365 days in a row during the internship. Weird. 🙂 .Was it just my College? Idk.

Once got consulted on a pt for food bolus. Saw the pt, the vibe was sus. Did neuro exam, thought it was stroke. Asked ED to get an MRI (CT was neg). Turned out to be a stroke. No cap. Always do those neuro exams, or peep that it’s neuro if a pt has a blown pupil…. .
