"Burn-out" is real- take care to prevent it
1. Dr S was a very sincere pediatrician. She would spend quality time to counsel parents and clear all their doubts. She would attend to every case referred to her in emergency room (ER) and spend at least an hour per patient.
1. Dr S was a very sincere pediatrician. She would spend quality time to counsel parents and clear all their doubts. She would attend to every case referred to her in emergency room (ER) and spend at least an hour per patient.
2. Dr S had a beautiful handwriting and her case notes were detailed. For a child with viral fever too, she would write two page notes and counsel parents for one hour (even if it was past midnight). Her work was admired by parents (of sick children) as well as colleagues.
3. Within 3 months of joining the hospital, Dr S became very popular and became busy in OPD from 8 AM to 7 PM. In addition, she got calls from ER almost on daily basis and spent 3-4 hours every night attending to emergency patients. This continued for a year or so.

Talking to your doctor about implementing a #ketogenicdiet to treat your mental illness or neurological disorder? Are they under the impression #ketosis is a medical emergency?
You're going to have to educate them! #neurotwitter #mentalillness #brainhealthmatters
You're going to have to educate them! #neurotwitter #mentalillness #brainhealthmatters
The confusion arises as #Physicians are taught about #Ketoacidosis, a severe condition in people with Type 1 Diabetes or alcoholism. The determining factors for Ketoacidosis are either a lack of insulin with high blood sugar & ketone levels above 5mmol/L or severe malnutrition.
But being in Nutritional #Ketosis is normal & healthy, and should not be equated with Ketoacidosis. It's important to educate ourselves & our #physicians about the difference between these two concepts.

The first principle is that accessing your own health info is a privacy right.
There's a clear rule about state laws that give fewer rights, like making it cost more than #HIPAA says it should. Those are preempted 2/

@ePatientDave @janoldenburg @MightyCasey @HealthPrivacy @claudiawilliams @HITpolicywonk @ONC_HealthIT The second principle is that legislatures dictate license terms to keep patients "safe."
So here, some states are adding physician requirements about labs to keep patients safe. It's a theoretically different line of law entirely, but it's crashing into the first principle 3/

Integrity issues in #EUdravigilance appear to be systemic, not limited to C-19 vaccines (as reported in 2022).
Most disturbing is that other drugs are affected too.
We present #Synagis (#RSV virus) for #infants < 2yr, as an example.

We extracted serious cases for infants on 19-Dec-22 and compared against our download of 30-Apr-22.
We found that in 44% of all #serious cases the age-group was removed.

Problematic #alcohol use is common among #physicians
1. Problematic alcohol use can adversely affect physicians’ health as well as their ability to provide excellent healthcare to their patients.

2. Problematic alcohol use included hazardous, potentially hazardous, risky, at-risk, harmful, problematic, or heavy drinking or alcohol use, as well as alcohol misuse, alcohol dependence, and alcohol use more than low-risk guidelines and alcohol use disorder.
3. Survey included 52,000 physicians from 17 countries (from data published between Jan 2006-Mar 2020).
Results showed problematic alcohol use varied widely regardless of measurement method used.
The rate was 0%-34% with AUDIT, 9%-35% with AUDIT-C, and 4%-22% with CAGE.
