Wow, the Steve Jobs film at Apple.com is really good. Don't miss it.

I know that Steve was an asshole to a lot of people and was greedy when he didn't need to be and did some shameful acts. But for many years he was a singular hero and inspiration.

My career arc is a result of thinking differently. Many nights as I worked on projects I felt kinship with the team who developed the Macintosh. The ability to stay focused on making something insanely great in a world where good enough is usually all that anyone expects.

#AskRenal Patients can get hypotensive after relieving urinary obstruction. Does clamping the foley and slowing bladder decompression protect against the hypotension?

Not in this RCT: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23859894/

🧂 Hyponatremia #CaseReport #Tweetorial

(and a gif for the people who want to rename this hyperhydronemia)

Patient came to the hospital with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Patient has alcohol use disorder. Last drink was about a day prior to admission.

After arrival to the ER the patient has a seizure.

Besides the weirdly elevated anion gap, and the hypokalemia, the initial labs just show some AKI. I don't have an ABG but I suspect combined metabolic alkalosis and lactic acidosis.
