Meet the TX man who’s making customized caskets for each of the 19 young victims and two teachers from the school shooting in #Uvalde. Trey Ganem visited with the families last week so each casket is personalized to include each child's interests. 📷: SoulShine Industries

1/16 🤔Why does subarachnoid hemorrhage lead to deep/inverted "cerebral T-waves"? This ECG finding is so dramatic. But as we will see, these patients often have normal hearts. Why does an issue in the brain manifest on a test of the heart?

Really nice example of crush by Vladimir Dzavik when balloon sized to distal vessel, can see incomplete crush, with potential of wiring through stent. When balloon sized to prox vessel more optimal crush - shows why imaging key for accurate sizing Goran Stankovic, MD, PhD James Torey PA-C Tom Johnson

"healthy", then heart attack Why? Cool new study sheds light: *9500 asymptomatic folks *Test each with coronary CT angiogram (L) *follow over time (R) 46% - atleast some heart artery blockages 5% - obstructive & extensive blockages! Lots heart disease under radar

Aw jeez, not this again. According to this consultant, hospitals now *lose* an average of $304,312 per physician per year. 🤦🏻 Guess it’s time for another thread on Budgetary Gerrymandering.
