Autopsy for pneumonia (COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2)
How are you handling autopsies (especially for pneumonia), in the context of COVID-19 / SARS-CoV-2? I worry about infected patients without a diagnosis of COVID-19.
Of note, here are CDC's guidelines:
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a virus (more specifically, a coronavirus) identified as the cause of an outbreak of respiratory illness first detected in Wuhan, China.

Enlisted Medical Chalk Talks
What are some short 10-15 minute lessons y'all do for your enlisted medical (Corpsmen/Medics)? I'm looking for things that they'll find either interesting, useful in their job, or both. This is separate from skills training. Stuff like acute pain control, back pain red flags and what they mean, the approach to a red eye, upper respiratory/sinus complaints, "it burns when I pee," etc. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

M1 QBanks in Traditional Curriculum
Happy New Years! I just had a question about doing QBanks in a traditional curriculum. I find that it’s tough for me to answer a lot of the questions in USMLE RX and Amboss because even their non path questions have a lot of path in them. What do you think of the strategy of doing Pathoma chapters 1-4 and then the relevant Pathoma chapter for a given block (say respiratory), doing a bunch of questions in that unit?
I am going to be done with most of Costanzo, Sketchy Micro and Sketchy Pharm...

Bicarb in ketoacidosis
I don't personally use bicarb for metabolic acidosis from dka or aka... but the intensivists and culture at my hospital is to do it for just about any acidosis. Thoughts? Case example: Had a pt with AKA with pH 6.9 pCO2 30 something +kussmaul respirations.. I pushed D5LR as she had a metabolic and respiratory acidosis I didn't feel comfortable giving bicarb. Obviously when she arrived to the ICU it was immediately given without a second thought. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

RRT TO DO? Need advice.
I am in need of some advice. I graduated with my degree in biomedical sciences in 2017, original goal was to become a PA which led me to receive my respiratory therapy license to gain some patient experience. I currently work in a level 1 trauma center where I work in ER and Trauma and have really contemplated on switching career paths to possibly applying to medical school instead of PA programs.
I unfortunately can’t score well on the mcat, first time I took the exam I studied for 3 months...

Registered Respiratory Therapist to Medical School?
Hello, I am a RRT and I am wondering if anyone has made the move from RRT to later become a MD? Is it possible? How did you do it? Does having experience as a RRT help with getting in? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am 25, 3.5 GPA with a BS in Ex. Physiology (waste of time) and a Associates of Respiratory Care. I have about 2 years of experience as a registered RT.
