Middle aged patient presents with insidous onset, progressively worsening SOB.

Chest is full of wheezing and creps.

What is this?

This is the HRCT thorax. Image
This is a biopsy proven adenocarcinoma.

No GGO
No air bronchograms
Multiple coalescing nodules of various sizes --> s/o cannonball metastases.

This proves the dangers of
empirically starting ATD based on hx, clinical findings and imaging only.

Sometimes, all three will betray you!

Always keep an open mind!
I await the opinion of @ParijatSen11 and @ChestradRoy da!
We are still looking for the primary!

What is the best physiology book for 1st year?

It this one in my humble opinion.

Crisp, sufficiently detailed with good diagrams and explanations for various phenomena --> this is my Grade A recommendation. Image
I have gone through Ganong, Guyton, Taylor and Boron & Boulpaep ---> those are NOT for beginners.

The Indian textbooks are okayish but the diagrams are pretty terrible.

That is where Lippincott wins hands down.

I am a big fan of @baxirahul sir and his Tweetorials.

Short, crisp and chockful of useful data --> highly recommended for physicians and patients --> for diabetes is all pervasive.

What is my personal regime?

1. Weekly BP and weight measurements.

2. Brisk walking to cover at least 7k steps/day. I also have my own exercise regimen.
3) I follow a diet prescribed by my dietitian.

I am gradually phasing out all junk food and simple carbs.

The Bengali diet is delicious.

But the carb load in the bhaat and NOT THE MISHTI is killing us.

1) Why is biochemistry so commonly disliked by medical students?

Because they are made to memorize metabolic pathways without rhyme or reason.
2) They spend hours memorizing the structures of amino acids and the Krebs cycle.

Its a classic case of missing the forest for the trees.

They never learn integrated metabolism as a whole and with proper clinical correlation.
3) I started MBBS in 2012 and I have checked out several biochem texts over the years.

Harper is the worst --> for 1st year.

The Indian textbooks don't do much better either.

1) I am presently working on curating the best free resources for medical professionals.

I will focus on the medical subspecialties.

I will also post some of my own work.
2) Why am I doing this?

Because FOAMed is the future.

Because we have some amazing work on Twitter and other SM that does not get the visibility it deserves.
3) All creators will be credited.

If by any chance, it is not --> please bring it to my attention.

I follow a lot of educational podcasts.

This is a recent addition to my list that I am finding extremely useful both as a refresher and for first time reading.

I would recomment it for gen med residents without hesitation.
Pros

1. Crisp and clear explanations.

2. Short duration

3. Deals with common topics that are dealt with everyday in the wards.

4. The website has additional material that can be perused for further reading.

1) I have had the pleasure of listening to this podcast episode by @ebtapper and @ShreyaTrivediMD among others.

It is hands down the best review of alcohol-associated hepatitis I have had the pleasure of perusing in the past few years.
3) These are the important pearls from this segment in csase you don't have 40 mins to listen to the podcast!
