that time I called nephrology about one of their acute renal failure patients acting altered and he asked "is he still taking Gabapentin?" and I said "f*ck"
What I look forward to most each year about @hcwvshunger.bsky.social are the blood thirsty rivalries and secret machinations like some kind of Machiavellian plot. Oh that and all the money that gets raised to fight hunger, that’s nice too. 😂
Scott Krugman@drscottk.medsky.social · 2y agoTo be clear, the single specialty winner was #kidvengers last year….it took a 4 specialty combo to beat us. #Pedsky
Tizanidine, Benadryl, gabapentin, mirtazapine, baclofen, yadda yadda yadda... polypharmacy.
the number of times polypharmacy goes unrecognized as a cause of “altered mental status” is astounding
A reminder that the improvements that we’ve seen in life expectancy over the centuries are largely driven by preventing infants and children from dying. If you survived past childhood, you probably were going to live to 60.

When insulin was first patented in 1923, the discoverers declined to put their names on it as they felt that insulin belonged to the public. 101 years later, insulin is inaccessible to thousands of Americans because of price gouging by near-monopoly private insurance corporations and their PBMs.
