Very informative thread for utility of ammonia in a shotgun approach to AMS! My take homes as an IM resident: ➡️ Have a ddx in mind ➡️ HE is a clinical diagnosis ➡️ Consider surgical history and medication list when ordering

With the #ACG practice update on Lean #NAFLD I’m wondering what #Livertwitter recommends for PCPs in terms of screening modality? LFTs seem practical although insurance coverage is variable. POCUS would be my choice although with limited time and training also not ideal.

Excited and grateful that our abstract was selected for presentation at #ACG2022! Look forward to learning and networking with the amazing community of #GI. Thanks Abbott Northwestern Internal Medicine Residency and my mentors for making this happen!

As a third year resident spending much more time on consult services I’m still finding it challenging to adapt my thinking style to a consultant mindset. Any tips from from #MedTwitter #GITwitter? Should early trainees remain more broad with their approach?

Any other East coast transplants have a moment of panic every month when they test the tornado alerts? It’s been two years and my heart rate still skyrockets.

Lucky to be spending another month rotating with the awesome GI docs MNGI Digestive Health and this time around knowing this is (hopefully) what I will be doing in my future career makes it so much more exciting! #WomeninGI

Interesting article! Definitely agree with killing the feedback 🥪. As someone in training, direct and actionable feedback not only helps create reasonable goals but also makes you feel like your work is valued and someone is paying attention.

Thank you ACG for letting me present a case of GI amyloidosis that was misdiagnosed due to implicit bias and highlight that: ➡️ Implicit bias by 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️leads to health disparity. ➡️ Awareness is 🔑 to mitigate one’s own bias. #ACG2022

Finally, a study assessing NALTREXONE for alcohol use disorder in liver patients ! It seems safe in compensated cirrhosis. I am increasingly using it, yet RCTs are warranted. #Livertwitter Elliot Tapper Norah Terrault bit.ly/3DfPcXk

Unfortunately I didn’t match into #GI fellowship this cycle, but what I learnt through this process is that I have the best support system around! I am very thankful for my mentors, friends, and family who still keep the dream alive. #Match2023
