Compensation Models
It would be great to discuss people's recommendations about productivity based salary. What is a fair metric (or even a very generous one!) that could be negotiated outside of the standard fixed salary + anemic bonus model of many academic departments? I am about to negotiate with an academic center that is in an 'undesirable' location. The RadOnc department recently had a faculty exodus and is now eager to reshuffle and bring new people aboard. The cancer center just recruited a new...

Iron infusions
If someone has anemia of CKD due to Rheumatoid Arthritis, Ferritin is an acute phase reactant so it would be elevated. How do you decide how much iron to give? In other words, does ferritin play a role in determining how much iron pt should receive? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Jaundice and urine color
In hemolytic anemia urine urobilinogen is increased which would mean that the amount coverted to urobilin would increase as well and urine color would at least change in intensity, so how it would be normal as if nothing changed knowing that urobilin is the pigment that gives the urine it's color?

PaO2 in severe anemia
So Kaplan physio explains that both polycythemia and anemia do not affect PaO2 b/c they only affect the oxygen transported by hemoglobin not the oxygen dissolved in plasma.
However, in case of severe anemia, theoretically wouldn't you observe slight increased PaO2? Since the oxygen molecules will be forced to be dissolved in plasma? Considering normal PaO2 is around 95, it may go up a bit like 97-98 mmHg right? (not exceeding 100 mmHg since it will still need to be equilibrated with the...

List the Hypersensitivities
Hey sdn, I learn a ton just by reading these forums so I just wanted to start a thread where we each list a hypersensitivity (please reference) and we'll learn as we go. I'll start
Chronic gastritis/pernicious anemia - type 4 HS (pathoma pg 104, sec V.C.2.iii.)
P.S. please try to list a HS that is unexpected. For example, dont list goodpastures, type 2 (we all know that one). Hope this helps everyone. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Chronic autoimmune illnesses- will I be able to make it through medical school?
Hello everyone,
I've read through all of the "chronic illness" posts and I was hoping that by starting a new one I could meet med students, residents and doctors who may be living with conditions similar to my own and who can give me inside advice on if this will be doable for me. I am premed at one of the top 5 universities in the world. I was also diagnosed with multiple autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, gastritis and pernicious anemia as well as some other issues that I'm...

Patients, this is the future of healthcare. Be afraid, be very afraid.
How can you send someone who probably was coming of anemic symptoms and bloody or tarry stools home with unstable vitals and don't even both to do a basic CBC? This is the basic mistakes that I all the time coming from these NP's. The vast majority of the time, we physicians catch their mistakes but don't let the patients, the hospital, the state know what could have happened if we didn't. These types of cases will become more and more common in the future as NP/DNP's fight for more scope...

How in the everloving f*ck are you supposed to memorize everything for micro/anti-microbes?
For example, in the adverse effects listed for sulfonamides, I have (from class lecture):
"kernicterus, nephrotox-crystalluria, HS (cross-rxn drugs w/ S), phototox, rash, angiodema, stevens-johnson, marrow supp (anemia, granulopenia, thrombopenia), asplastic anemia (rare), hemolytic anemia (G6PDH def), anti vit K"
How are you supposed to approach memorizing such a dry list of facts? Are you supposed to know every single detail on the list, and just brute force go over it repeatedly/ANKI a...

Lead poisoning and FEP levels
Lead inhibits 2 enzymes in heme synthessis ;ALAD and ferrochelatase .
Ferrochelatase is the last enzyme so it makes sense that protoporphyrrins can accumulate but what about ALAD ?
If there is no ALAD( which is the second enzyme upstream )how can the porphyrrin ring even form ?
Summary of question : 1) what is the FEP level in lead poisoning ?
Also some extensions to the above question 2) what is the FEP level in sideroblastic anemia ?
3) what are the lab values for both these anemias ?...
