Today’s #BSTMode inspired by @JHospMedicine #TWDFNR was 🔥!! Our first ever @EmoryDeptofMed + @MSMEDU hybrid version—woot!!

Today’s BSTs

Nour B., Emory PGY3
Krystal M., MSM PGY2
Joey S., Emory PGY2
Joi H., MSM PGY2

4 awesome talks + Q&A—all in under an hour! Let’s go! 👉🏽
2/
 Dr. Krystal Mills of @MSMEDU taught us about trending ammonia levels in hepatic encephalopathy—don’t do it. Shout out to her coach Dr. @TracyVettese of @EmoryDeptofMed. Read this article if you haven’t! 👉🏽
3/
 We learned from @dr_jsharp, Emory IM PGY2, that we need to pump the brakes on reflexive antipyretics in patients with a fever. His coach, Dr. Benjamin Renelus, @MSMEDU faculty supported in style! Want to know more? Read this paper. So good! 👉🏽
4/
 Dr. Joi Hester, @MSMEDU PGY2, schooled us on routine thyroid testing in the hospital. Spoiler alert: It’s not necessary. Coached by Dr. Francois Rollin of @EmoryDeptofMed. Another amazing paper to read if you haven’t. 👉🏽
5/
 Dr. @nourbeydounn, @EmoryDeptofMed PGY3 unpacked echos in hemodynamically stable patients with PE. Her coach, Dr. Suman Jana of @MSMEDU even chimed in on the Q&A portion with additional teaching points. I’d missed this one in @JHospMedicine—great 8 minute summary! 👉🏽
6/
 Our fantastic 4 brought some additional 🔥 during the Q&A portion—which we all recognize is an art! Krystal got the most questions and was a master at navigating Zoom + in person queries! Of course the others crushed their questions, too!

Sooo good! 👉🏽
7/
 What is #BSTMode? It’s BITE-SIZED TEACHING—pronounced “BEAST MODE.”

Fat trimmed

Coached for excellence
Doable by anyone

That’s #BSTMode, baby!👉🏽

 On rounds at Grady

Me: "How're you feeling today?"
Him: "Well. I been better. That medicine y'all gave me made me run off!"

My team looked puzzled.
I did not.

Me: "Oh no! You talking 'bout the medicine we gave you for your gout flare up?"
Him: "Yeah! That one!" Image
2/
 Him: "Shit, you coulda warned a brother."
Me: "Dang. I really should have. I'm sorry."
Him: "Yeah, if it wasn't for that bedside commode it woulda been a clean up on aisle 1!"

He laughed.
I was glad he was making light of it.

Me: "I apologize, sir. Colchicine can do that."
3/
 Him: "It's cool. My knee is feeling a little bit better so that's good."
Me: "I'm glad. And again, I'm sorry for not giving the heads up."
Him: "I'm okay, doc."

I turned to my team.

Me: "'Running off' is diarrhea."
Them: "Ohhh."
Him: "Oh my bad, y'all."

*laughter*

 Her: "Why haven't you left for L.A. yet?"
Me: "Huh? Oh. Yeah. I'm pretty much almost done. It's okay."

*silence*

Her: "But, like is it?"
Me: *sighs* "Me rushing there won't change anything."
Her: "Depends on who you ask."

And after that, we both went back to charting.

 I was on the hospital service last April when I got the news. Dad had this sudden onset of disabling vertigo. We'd learn it was a cerebellar stroke. My sister was there in LA. At the bedside and wringing her hands as next-of-kin.

So she kept me posted.

And I kept rounding.
3/
 On that first day, I walked right in and told my team.

Me: "My dad has been admitted to the hospital. It seems that he's had a cerebellar stroke."

And I said it in that "but I'm fine" voice. Because at that time that's what I was telling myself.

My team listened intently.

 Me: “I’m glad to see you.”
You: “You know what? I’m glad to see you, too.”

*silence*

Me: “You know how you’re loved, don’t you?”
You: *smiling gently* “I do. I think that’s what makes this so hard, you know? Can’t feel a loss like that without feeling a love like that.” Image
2/
 We both let out big exhalations. After a few beats, you swung your head in my direction.

You: “How are you?”
Me: “Me?”
You: “Yeah. You.”
Me: “I’m fine. I just wish... um… you didn’t have to feel what you’re feeling.”

You reached out for my forearm. And then sighed again.
3/
 You: “Yeah. But I’ll be okay. We were soul-connected. That will comfort me.”

I nodded. Then we sat in silence.

You: “But for real—how are you? Like with all this cool stuff you’ve been doing.”
Me: *puzzled look*
You: “It has to make you miss your dad and your sister.”

Ooph.

 I just finished this beautiful, courageous, and searing memoir “I Can’t Save You” by @CQ__MD. It was . . . in a word. . . sublime.

Whew.

And full disclosure—as his former med school advisor & friend—I love Dr. CQ.

But.

I also love books and honesty.

And he knows that. Image
2/
 @CQ__MD will be the first to tell you that I won’t endorse anything—even a book my my beloved little bro CQ—unless I’d read it myself and believed others should, too.

And now I have.
And wholeheartedly I do.

But before you jump in—and you should—let me say this. . .
3/
 There are some parts that explore depression, thoughts of suicide, and self-harm. No, not recklessly. But yes, with raw honesty. So you need to know that up front.

He does NOT play it safe around his lived experiences as a Black man in the ivory tower.

So hold on tight. Image

 Thought I’d show some Black joy from this year’s #MatchDay. Because sometimes we don’t see that enough.

And there IS joy.

Especially on this day.

The ancestors are surely rejoicing. I know I am.

I think the words of Jill Scott will say it best. . .

 “I'm taking my freedom
Pulling it off the shelf
Putting it on my chain
Wear it around my neck

I'm taking my freedom
Putting it in my car
Wherever I choose to go
It will take me far . . .”

“I'm livin' my life like it's golden

Livin' my life like it's golden

Livin' my life like it's golden

Livin' my life like it's golden

Livin' my life like it's golden, golden . . .”

 I had imagined what this day would be like. Played it out in my head and saw various iterations of me exploding in celebration.

In some versions, I was doing the running man or, quite literally, running in triumphant circles, #MatchDay envelope in hand.

"Wooo hooo!" Image
2/
 I also saw these visions of me quietly weeping, one hand extended to the heavens in gratitude. My lips quietly murmuring prayers of thanksgiving.

See, I was my ancestors' wildest dreams. And not even just my enslaved ancestors but the Jim Crow survivors who raised me, too.
3/
 So, yeah. This was about to be big.

I was even on the #MatchDay party committee. And since we were broke, that meant soliciting donations from faculty & parents & anybody who felt proud enough of us to shell out a few coins.

Which, fortunately for us, was a lot of folks. Image
