Liver Failure (Depakote) Medical Malpractice Lawsuit
Link to case here: Liver Failure [Medication-Induced]
This case has an expert witness opinion from a GI doc.
Patient was started on Depakote, LFTs were initially fine.
Within 5 weeks she had a liver transplant.
The expert notes that she had positive ASMA and ANA titers and homozygous positive for H63D hemochromatosis. Do these results suggest that there may be an alternative cause for her liver failure? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Which is worse for residency applications: low step 1 score or leave of absence?
Current M2 at USMD. ~3 weeks out from step and got a 175 on NBME 26 (got a 160 on NBME 25 2 weeks ago AKA 5 weeks out from step). Uworld average is ~50% with 75% complete.
I had surgery in the beginning of dedicated (liver transplant for sibling), so I had 6 weeks instead of 10 weeks. My school is giving me 2 options: I can push my step date back by 2 weeks and not have it affect my M3 schedule, or I can take a temporary leave of absence and push my step date back by ~10 weeks. The first...

Does high liver volume make up for lack of trauma?
Hi all,
Hoping this message reaches mostly practicing attending anesthesiologists (or even CRNAs). I am on the interview trail and a number of very good programs cite their lack of trauma experience as a potential weakness. They tend to cite their strengths in liver transplantation and surgery as a reasonable alternative to the resuscitation needed in trauma. Do you feel like this is an accurate statement, and if so would you be willing or able to work in a level one trauma center despite...

Liver Transplant
New CA2. I just finished my first liver transplant and it was awesome.
Pt was late 60s hx of chronic Hep C and met colon CA to liver s/p resection 7 yrs ago. Diabetes, HTN but normal heart.
Case went great despite lasting 9 hrs and losing 2L of blood since it was a re-operation. "Usual" case length is 4-5 hours. 6 units of PRBCs, 5 units FFP, 6pk platelets, some cryo, 1L albumin, and 2.5L crystalloid. We went upstairs with normal ABG and no pressors.
The set-up was a beast but thank dog...

How do you do your double-triples?
The Double Triple
A triple transplant — heart, liver, kidney — is an incredibly rare procedure. Up until recently, only 15 had ever been performed. Then, over a 48-hour stretch, UChicago Medicine did two back to back.

*Opinion Survey* Importance of transplant cases in training - resident/fellow input appreciated
Background: 4th year trying to create match list.
It seems like hearts are straight forward and the experience can be replaced with any cardiac case using cardiopulmonary bypass. Same with lung in that one-lung ventilation is required for a lot of thoracic cases. In my experience, liver transplant management is the most unique/difficult, and thus harder to replace, what with the coagulopathy, AB derangements, and massive transfusion. Individually those challenges can be found in most sick...

I know it's a VERY strong and reputable anesthesiology program but had a few questions since their website seems to be pretty bare bones.
- Do they do liver transplants/other large transplant cases?
- Are many residents able to sit for the basic echo boards at the end of residency?
- Moonlighting opportunities? (Source: Student Doctor Network)
