Secondary Polycythemia
New attending here. Hoping to get some advice from those of you practicing for a while. I just started a job in a somewhat rural setting. I get a lot of Heme referrals from PCPs, pulmonologists, etc for patients for polycythemia. These are almost always known tobacco abuse cases, COPD, etc. We were always taught in training to treat the underlying cause, but the referring docs and patients expect to be treated with therapeutic phlebotomy. Some of them have had this issue for years and...

Oregon is an addict
It will be interesting to see where we're at as a nation with regard to drug use in 5-6 yrs.
Seems there's a lot of buyer's remorse in Oregon.

Is there a path/chance for me to med school? 25M, Tech, Low Undergrad GPA
Hello all,
Basically am just asking if it is even possible for me to consider getting into med school at my age + statistics?
25M, Currently work in FinTech as a Software Engineer for a major company, it's not FAANG but anyone within the financial sector would immediately know what it is. I originally started out as Pre-Med when I was 18 but I was a very immature kid, I partied constantly, smoked weed all the time, and joined some social organizations that absolutely killed my mental...

MDI for bronchospasm
Probably dumb question, but I couldn’t quickly find a lot of literature about it, gave up quickly due to me being a bit ADHD. Had a female smoker for routine Ortho bronchospasm on induction. It was pretty manageable after deepening anesthetic and some albuterol puffs down the ETT. For a lot of these players who spasm, I give subq terbutaline after it saved my ass once (I think). Usually give decadron too if indicated. When I was squirting albuterol down the tube, the OR nurse chimed in and...

[Asking for a friend] Should I mention working for a vape company during medical school interviews?
Hi, I know someone that works, not for Juul, but probably one of the bigger competitors. The friend works in one of the RnD departments, and as far as I understand works to ensure that the product is safe for consumers. His argument is that since the product is 100% marketed towards helping adults quit smoking, it could be seen favorably, but I am just a bit concerned that it may come off badly in interviews if they associate it more with kids vaping in high school bathrooms.
