Not sure if it will help anyone, and I made sure to retract program names, so just posting on the blog for my memories. I am 11 hours into my shift and between physical and telemedicine visits, I have seen a total of 46 patients today AND finished all my notes! Right now, I am at work and just got a break. It all adds up.

Back then we were a blog and Ken’s post, which is titled, Survival from Severe Sepsis: The infection is cured, but all is not well, is still one of our most viewed posts on Jerry Powell. Lauren: Although again, still thinking about what that means for an individual older adult is really important. That’s a great question.

As we’ve written about on GeriPal when we were a blog (a decade ago!) I think the first time I noticed it was, like as a medical student when you would rotate on one service with one attending and they would make decisions about how to treat a case one way.
