- I need to share that I have the best husband in the world. He designed and 3D printed a filtration mask for me. 🥰
- Nope. Not happening until I find out what this gets me , @ABIMFoundation. What are we paying for? I’m certified…I took my boards and passed them.
- Yesterday,I was on a flight with my husband.We were at 30,000 feet when a man had a cardiac arrest. He was sitting right in front of me. My husband was able to pull him from his window seat and lay him quickly on the floor where we performed CPR for 15 minutes...
- Replying to @Allison_DupontPersonal finance would be much more useful for the high school students. Learn how to budget, get a mortgage, invest your money. Why isn’t there more of that and less focus on calculations that can be done by a computer. This isn’t 1950.
- I’m sorry if I offend you, but if you are a cardiologist doing annual nucs on all of your patients with stable heart disease, you need to look at yourself in the mirror and ask whether you’re helping patients or only helping yourself. #yesisaidthat #patientsfirst #patientsafety
- @ABIMFoundation please reply here so we all understand what these MOC fees get us. Paying the >$3,000 to pass the general and interventional cardiology recert exams isn’t enough for you. Please explain why. No answer assumes greed. We will all wait…
- Replying to @Allison_DupontThank you for all of the amusing responses. The 🍆 measuring contest has been interesting to read and I especially enjoyed the comment about the “feminization of medicine” 🙄Nobody said the subject of calculus is useless. If you’re that passionate about it, please find a hobby.
- For those who don’t live in the southern United States, this is a very brief tutorial on southern dialect: When someone says “bless your heart” what they really mean is “you’re a moron”. It’s not a term of endearment. You’re welcome.
- Replying to @Allison_DupontI knew this would eventually happen to me in a public place somewhere, some time, but I feel that I was meant to be sitting right behind him on that flight. If anyone near HOUSTON has any idea what has happened to him after he was taken off the plane, please let me know.
- Replying to @kaneYeah, but when a patient comes in with huge MI, I’m not stopping next to the cath table to calculate the area under the curve so that I can see what the mean BP is.I work on saving the patient’s life.The concept is important.The applications to life need to be taught.They aren’t.
- Replying to @Allison_DupontAfter multiple shocks, the AED got him out of ventricular fibrillation and he regained consciousness. We made an emergency landing in Houston (on our way to Cabo) and he remained alert. As a cardiologist, I’ve run many codes but this situation is so much more stressful.
- Clonidine is the devil. It should not be used as a first, second, third or fourth line drug in hypertension. Thanks for letting me vent.
- With all due respect…I call BS. Interpreting graphs in research papers could be achieved without 2 years worth of pre-calc and calc. @cardiojaydoc02
