Informing patients of bad news
Hey everyone I’m a relatively new attending, I was wondering how everyone approached delivering patients bad news. I have EPIC so sometimes patients will see the results of their own liver biopsy and my practice pattern is to typically say we will discuss scans & results at the next visit, especially if it doesn’t change management. But I sometimes run into the case where a scan will show disease progression and I’m not sure if they would benefit from a phone call prior to the visit to...

Stanford President resigns -- biomedical research fraud (vs. negligence); thoughts?
NYT article: Opinion | The Research Scandal at Stanford Is More Common Than You Think Scientific journals need to harden their defenses against research manipulation. www.nytimes.com and explanation that gets a bit into the details: Thoughts. I will be sure to share my opinion when I see a few replies and I have a bit of time on my hands (ha ha, if that ever happens). (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Questions about day-to-day EP life
For those who are EP, especially those in the community and outside of big academic centers: what do your procedure days look like? I.e what is the relative proportion of devices vs atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter ablations, vs SVT ablation vs EP studies, vs VT ablations etc? Over the course of a typical week how many devices/ablations do you do? How late are procedure days? Also for those who are EP: do you read any echos or nuclear scans? As an EP, is there any value in being echo... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Own handheld POCUS device?
Has anyone purchased their own handheld POCUS device (eg Butterfly IQ, EagleView, Clarius, etc)? If so, how has your experience been? Which one did you choose and why? Ideally I would use POCUS on most of the sicker patients when I round (mostly limited echo, some limited abdominal/IVC scans, some chest scans), but the regular cart based machines slow me down too much (between wheeling into the room, maneuvering to plug in, wheeling to the next room, etc). I feel if I had a handheld device... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Is Neurology World Conference (NWC 2023) a legitimate/non-predatory conference?
I just got invited to speak at Neurology World Conference (NWC 2023) (website: www.neurologyworldconference.com/) by Precision Global Conferences and offered a 50% discount to register. After scanning the website, I'm not completely sure what this is. You know what that means. It's time to play another round of "Is it a legitimate professional conference, speaking at which will look impressive on the ol' ERAS residency app, or is it considered predatory, and will including...

Bone met scenario
Here's a scenario I need help with: 70ish yo M with castrate-resistant stage IV prostate cancer. PSMA PET showed a mid femur met along with other small bone lesions, the patient was asymptomatic. I radiated the mid femur met 30 Gy in 10 fractions hoping to prevent a fracture (based on the data presented at ASTRO). PSA goes down (patient is on xtandi btw). Med onc orders restaging bone scan and he still has uptake in the right mid femur (very bright, same spot I radiated), no other uptake... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)
