Medicine Mondays

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. This is just a short reminder to “Take care of your eyes“. Take care of your eyes? Don’t worry, we’re all doing fine over here. However, I want to take the time to share a story with you guys. Basically, my wife and I both wear glasses and contact lenses. I’m sure this is common for many, many doctors. However, because of our schedules as medical students, residents, and […]

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. Today is just a short post to ponder “September“. September? While it may not seem like that important of a month in the general sense, I think it has a great deal of importance for people still in school and/or training. September kind of marks the beginning of the academic year — at least it did for me. However, my daughter started her kindergarten journey a little earlier, in […]

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. Today is kind of a random post about “What is Bouveret Syndrome?” What is Bouveret Syndrome?

So today is kind of an educational day on what to look for in this interesting case, from both the clinical side and radiology side. […]

Hey everyone, it’s Labor Day. I was planning to take the day off, however, I decided to write about “Doctors Shouldn’t Retire Early?”, as a followup to my previous post:  Stuff versus Time and physician FIRE comments. Doctors Shouldn’t Retire Early I actually was going to take the day off, but I thought this was kind of a fitting post for Labor Day. Well, like I said in my previous post, I didn’t read the whole […]

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. Today we’re going to talk about “Free Med School?” in reference to NYU. This will be a short post. Free Med School? In general, there aren’t too many ways to go to medical school for free. One is that you are awarded a scholarship, which is pretty uncommon in medical school. Two is that you do an MD PhD program in which your training is free, trading time (doing […]

Sleep
Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays. Today, I’m going to be talking about something that falls by the wayside. We’re going to talk about “Sleep Hygiene“. Sleep Hygiene? Yea. This is kind of an uncommon topic to talk about. The reason for this is because it’s “not a problem until it’s a problem.” What do I mean by that? Well, when you’re young, even if your sleep hygiene is bad in general you can compensate just […]
