Dr. Sean Lockwood from Lexington VAMC teaching us how to be better at clinical vignettes in UK Hospitalists Grand Rounds. High emphasis on relationship and [of course] aggressive editting. Great content (adapted from #UKHMT) and perfect timing.

Busy but fun day on gen med consults! Lots of services calling us for a wide range of probs (Afib, AKI, HF, cirrhosis, hypoxia, etc). I'm convinced it's b/c we offer better customer service than many organ-based services. No yelling or shaming, just learning & helping!

Great (and fairly brief) article summarizing the issue and giving some important steps necessary to move forward. #UKHMT

Short & awesome article about the massive impact of seemingly small changes (eg, emergence of the word "provider") & how they impact physician visibility and joy. Great read for #UKHMT UKInternalMed Important lessons for UK Hospitalists UK HealthCare sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

More time with patients, less time on EHR! AMA worked with CMSGov & convened coalition of 170 med societies to simplify requirements and make them clinically relevant. No more counting elements for Hx, ROS, & Exam starting in 2021! Simpler, cleaner notes.

My commute this AM had the normal stuff (horses, cows, beautiful pastures, green grass) plus this awesome cotton candy sky. #bluegrass #Kentucky

How do you ensure there's time for teaching on rounds? Check out this month's Leadership & Professional Development article: ow.ly/oH9E50x48Ze via Alan Hall #VisualAbstract

Dear oncologist(s), Yes, I want you to see my Pt before the bx is back. Why? To look them in the eyes. To talk thru the things that seem most likely. To show them a path foreward. Certainty isn't necessary to be a Dr. (or a human) for a person going thru a tough time. #MedEd

After walking out a room on rounds the other day, my med student said to the other med student "Wow. This is the first time patients have really seen ME as their doctor " And she absolutely made my day. #bedsiderounds #MedEd

New pet peeve: the dominos of PO iron (which I believe is mostly worthless): PO iron is started. Plus laxatives (b/c it's super constipating). Plus ascorbic acid (to acidify gut). In spite of the PPI/H2B they're also taking. Then my head explodes 🤯 #MedEd #TWDFNR #polypharmacy

Working Christmas & NY to finish out 2019. Some think non-traditional shifts (nights, wknds, holidays) contribute to HM burnout. Maybe. But these shifts are *PURE* Pt care & offer time to connect more deeply with Pts. They can be quite re-energizing! Happy New Year #medtwitter!

I strive to be this type of old fashioned! These messages are desperately needed in #MedEd. Thx @medevidenceblog for sharing & Talal Hilal 🩺 for pointing this out.

Quick and quality piece with 10 best practices to avoid malpractice problems. My favorites are 1 & 3: minimize copy-paste & shorten notes. 🙌🙏 Already incorporated into #UKHMT & probably widely applicable. Document to defeat malpractice suits acphospitalist.org/archives/2020/…

I'm torn about step 1. As a MS, cramming endlessly for that silly test was terrible. Now, as program leadership, it's one of the few numbers we get. Schools are pass fail, and LORs are hard to trust. I hope the answer is NOT supplemental apps or "aptitude" tests. #MedEd

Fi ally listened to @ZDoggMD on Mark Shapiro, MD podcast. Expected to be entertained, & I was. Did not expect to be so inspired! They discuss the value of being vulnerable with ourselves, one another, & our Pts. Hilarious episode & powerful messages! #MedEd explorethespaceshow.com/podcasting/__t…
