Challenging Case Coming Up
Hey all, I have a challenging case coming up and wanted to see how people would approach it: 76yo HTN, CAD (DES in LAD 7yrs ago), iCMY EF: 30-35% (anterior, anteroseptal, apical akinesis on TTE), Severe MR, pHTN w/ PAP 83 but Normal RV and RVSF (This was based on TTE that was obtained as outpatient 3 months ago, so presumptively not in heart failure at the time. No RHC data available. Assuming its from severe MR. systemic BP appears to be normotensive), Mild COPD, DM on insulin, ESRD on PD... Challenging Case Coming Up (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Med oncs are the lynchpins of oncology and radiation and surgery is just one of their tools to fight disease
evilbooyaa said: In fairness - I thought I would go into IM and end up in Cards/GI when I was in the first 2 years of med school. This was after exposure to Rad Onc. Then I rotated through IM as a 3rd year medical student, realized I would have to do 3 years of caring about CHF and COPD and DM and all those other IM things and noped the hell on out of there. It was a process of elimination for me in regards to what I ended up in. In regards to the bolded... Click to expand...

Hypoxic Respiratory Failure (COPD exac, CHF Exac, Pneumonia)
This is one of the most common diagnosis I admit as a hospitalist, and often my patients usually have COPD, & CHF. They end up getting treated for both COPD exacerbation and CHF exacerbation and sometiems if the CXR is unclear (edema vs infection), they get treated w/ abx as well. Lot of waste and side effects. Besides the obvious fever, WBC count, what else do you guys use to confidently discriminate between these etiologies. Procalcitonin is one lab I use. Wheezing (could be present...
