Where I trained, this is why we don’t diagnose someone as hypertensive unless there are three separate elevated blood pressure measurements on three different clinic visits. We would schedule people for Nurse only BP checks to help establis

You would only know there was a discharge summary if there was a corresponding admission history and physical. If no indication of an admission to a hospital was made, then you have no reason to expect a discharge summary. However, I would

You “could” teach a high school student all aspects of medicine, but it’s going to take so long for them to build the groundwork that by the time they can meaningfully contribute, you’d never make the return on investment. This is actually

What you are describing is literally how medical training works. Residency IS on-the-job training. Medical school provides the foundation to then learn on-the-job; residency transitions them with graded responsibilities to independent pra

The average Radiologist does not only interpret a single modality or the same body part day in and day out (Radiograph, CT, MR, ultrasound, nuclear scintigraphy, PET, or mammography). We are prepared by our extensive residency to competentl

As a radiologist, I have to know a lot about cellular biology to understand and predict the imaging manifestations of cellular disease. You can’t just delete the baseline foundational knowledge.

You have to build the background knowledge to even be able to speak the language of medicine. This is not difficult "just because", it's difficult because it's a huge amount of baseline knowledge that must be assimilate

The Human Leukocyte Antigen complex is a protein complex that immune cells use to determine self from non-self cells. There are many many many possible alleles, some of which are thought to be defective and contribute to auto-immune disord

As mentioned elsewhere in the comments, small/tiny hospitals rarely keep anything complicated and ship everything vaguely complex to tertiary/quaternary center.

Could it be that they had repeater antennas before, but after the LTE upgrades, they either declined to renew the repeater leases in favor of wifi+tracking or perhaps the carriers didn't want to pay for hosting repeaters?

Agreed. That would be an easy fraud case to prove. As an extra check, all these polyps get inspected under a microscope by a pathologist to make sure they aren't cancer. They would also be committing fraud to say the "not a pol

The 10 year standard counts as well, if I remember correctly. Basically only deferral or taking the extended 30 year plan don't count.

So you want a second, diagnostic colonoscopy to remove the polyp rather than converting the screening into a diagnostic at time of service? This would require another bowel prep, another round of anesthesia, and even more operative time, an

I mean, our entire specialty day-in and day-out is looking through thinly sliced images of patients to diagnose and monitor disease. We are absolutely used to triplane images. I also agree that waiting for 3D renders is a huge time suck and

Unless she wasn't on an appropriate payment plan during residency, that time still counts. I'd look into it.

Are there any physicians on here that find these renders useful? As a radiology resident, I often prefer reading from the source images, as the whole point is to see inside a patient, rather than provide some partial surface rendering. Non

Agree. To give context, this is an editorial in a sports medicine journal. It's not a trial, meta-analysis, or even a systematic review.

IMGs (Citizens) and FMGs (foreign nationals who went) are considered slightly differently. IMGs have the advantage of speaking English and have no potential visa issues. This distinction will matter more and more as the race for residency s
