    Welcome to AZ. Today a pharmacist denied the MTX refill for my adolescent patient. She's on 5 mg/wk to prevent AHCA Ab production. MTX denied purely because she's a female, barely a teenager. Livid! No discussion, just a denial. Now to fight for what's best for this pt.

    I was told my patient was delirious since speaking unintelligible words. They were saying morning prayers in Apache. Full coherent.

    I thought you were taking a jab at the people who think primary care is a piece of cake not the other way around...sad it got misunderstood

    I'm so sad your protected health information was leaked. That's incredibly disappointing and evidence of horrible lack of character. The physician in me (as well as a huge JJ fan) is sending you extra positive thoughts for a boring sinus rhythm the rest of your life!!

    I know that place too! One of the highlights of many trips was making fry bread in Canyon de Chelly on open fire with the Grandmas yelling instructions in Navajo as I was cinging my eyebrows 🤣

    As an intern, did the admit H&P for 50 something y.o. w/syncopal episode. Asked code status. Said DNR. Confirmed x 3 as seemingly healthy. 2 hours later ICU called a code. Had to stop it as was my admit. Autopsy = diffuse metastatic ca. That patient knew!

    Anti human-chimeric antibody production. The body recognizes non human parts of a medication and produces antibodies against that portion which neutralizes the desired effects of the medication.
