Migraine treatment
The pathophysiology of migraines is still controversial with two or three predominant theories. Vasodilation of perivascular sensory afferents is thought to be the key to the pain portion of the migraines. This makes sense as some of the termination medications are triptans which vasoconstricts vessels. However, I don't understand why beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers are used as preventative medications, since they cause vasodilation, particularly calcium channel blockers. Could...

Dentistry is the Most Unhealthy Job in America

Top three health risks:
1. Exposure to contaminants: 84
2. Exposure to disease and infections: 75
3. Time spent sitting: 67

Endothelial Dysfunction?
If someone has suspected Endothelial Dysfunction due to a hyperentension emergency that wasn''t treated properly, what tests would you give to investigate, and what meds would you prescribe?

I don't believe patients' pain - help me reframe?
I'm an M4 (who isn't going into EM) on my EM rotation. I'm not sure what it is, but somehow hanging out in the ED made me realize that I don't usually believe my patient's discomfort. Syncope in a young woman? Vasovagal. Shoulder pain? Patient should have stayed home and just iced it. The overwhelming majority of headaches are nothing. Sometimes I just think, "ARGH people need to chill out, develop higher pain tolerance, suck it up, and then maybe... just maybe... call their PCP." I almost...
