Hi everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. I want to talk about a relatively simple concept, but one that is probably overlooked: Experience Matters. Stock Photo from: Pixabay Experience Matters? Well, of course it does. Well, yes, of course it does… but I’m not talking about it in the conventional sense of doing your 500th cholecystectomy or reading your 1000th head CT. However, let me try to explain what I mean. A career in medicine is […]

It’s Medicine Mondays again and this should be a short post-Christmas post, about Happy Holidays and Free Consultations For All. Photo from: QuickMeme What do you mean Happy Holidays and Free Consultations for All? During the holidays families come together and everyone talks about what has been going on since they last saw each other. However, if you’re a physician, especially if you’re one of the few (or only one) in your family, then a lot […]

Hi guys! It’s Medicine Mondays again and I’m here to talk about Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis.

It’s Medicine Mondays again and so I wanted to talk about Multiple Sclerosis.

Ok, ok ok, it’s Medicine Mondays… but it’s also Cyber Monday! To be honest, the plan was to write a great post about Physician Burnout over the long weekend. I’d have plenty of time to research and write a great post after Thanksgiving right? Wrong. Stock Photo from: Pixabay To be honest, Physician Burnout is a very important topic to me, as is Physician Suicide and Med School Attrition. However, to write those posts require […]

I haven’t talked about the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and how it has affected the practice of medicine. I don’t need to use the Electronic Medical Record as much as my other clinical colleagues. However, I have seen how it has affected my wife’s work. She was involved with the switch-over of her residency to Epic and was even an “Epic Superuser” (extended training).  Needless to say, she’s pretty facile with EMRs in general, especially Epic. […]
