Plan B to reapply to Gen Cards: external chief resident position or HF fellowship
Everyone told me they expected me to be a good candidate for at least 10 interviews or so. I only ended up with 3 (1 internal, 1 through a connection). and I am weighing my options for Plan B.

Breast CA antihormones, concurrent vs sequential
I have a patient with very poor health who cannot medically undergo surgery - heart failure, O2 dependent - but we are treating a bulky breast mass about 7 cm in size and grossly involved regional nodes.
ER is 90 plus percent positive, so she will be getting anti estrogens of some kind; the question is whether to give the radiation and anti hormones together or sequentially. Is there any data either way?
I believe there was a breast chemo study that showed better response rate if the...

GE mini TEE
Interesting marketing. One of the selling points is no anesthesia. Case study is from Spain. Not sure how many US cardiologists want to spend their days being echocardiographer for structural interventions. As always, it would depend on reimbursement.
