A Decade of Blogging!

Aspiring Minority Doctor

Okay, now I'll admit I've done a horrible job of keeping up with the blog lately especially given that this is only my fifth post of the year, but today is still super special for me. I definitely had some great cases and got more comfortable managing complex trauma repairs on my own in the ER and trauma bay, so I can't complain.

RCT of PC in ED: Corita Grudzen, Fernanda Bellolio, & Tammie Quest

GeriPal

Why this study was a success due to the sheer size (nearly 100,000 patients in about 30 EDs) of the study, and the fact that, as far as the investigators know, all study sites continue to employ the clinical decision support tool.

Is Hospice Losing Its Way: A Podcast with Ira Byock and Joseph Shega

GeriPal

Full disclosure, I talked with Ava Kofman a bunch while she was preparing that article, and I thought based on my professional experience working in hospice, things that I had seen, that she raised a lot of issues that I had personally encountered in my clinical experience.

Stories We Tell Each Other to Heal: Ricky Leiter, Alexis Drutchas, & Emily Silverman

GeriPal

It’s that mixture of intimacy and vulnerability, of shared clinical experiences, that fosters a sense of belonging. So has a special resonance for, I think, a lot of people who are Tragically H ip fans. I can remember two instances of storytelling in training or in education, I guess. Eric 00:18 Throwing us off.

Aging and Homelessness: Margot Kushel

GeriPal

I would talk about this, except I was a clinician, and I’m seeing these folks in the hospital and in clinic. Alex: But the longer title’s Ethno-Geriatrics and Special Populations. The journal section’s requirements are the same as for a clinical investigation. They didn’t go to the psych ER again.
