The hub for all things medical. Whether you're a healthcare professional or just curious, this is the place to learn or share cool cases, the latest medical updates, and ask or discuss health-related questions. Everyone's welcome to dive into this world!

Current medical documentation is built to have two main goals. Maximize billing and minimize lawsuits.
Will be interesting to see how AI scribes balance this, and how physicians/hospitals respond to gaps, especially as scribes may subtly write in parts of the conversation that have no relevance, yet can be brought up in court.

Childhood eating patterns frequently shape dietary behaviors that persist throughout life. Healthy habits established early can promote lifelong well-being, while less beneficial ones may require modification over time. Nutrition is a key factor in reducing the risk of chronic illnesses.

In continuation of the post about posture.

To determine the state of posture, you can stand with your back to the wall and press the back of your head, shoulder blades, buttocks, and heels tightly against it. If it is uncomfortable to hold such a position, then the posture is incorrect.

I will write recommendations in the next post.
Your body is filled with countless cells working tirelessly for your health, so never feel like you're alone or that no one has your back.
I want to say a few words about posture 🩻 📏

The correct posture looks like this: the head is raised high, the chin is exposed forward, the body is straightened, the chest is deployed, the shoulders are at the same level and slightly pulled back, the stomach is pulled up. If you look at a person from behind, the head, neck and spine should form a straight vertical line.

Why do you need proper posture? If the posture is correct, the load distribution is uniform. This allows you to save joints, protect cartilage tissue from premature wear. A straight back, straightened shoulders promote full-chest breathing, and gas exchange occurs more efficiently in the lungs.

I will continue in the next caste.
🎉 Happy World Anaesthesia Day! 🌍💉

Today marks the anniversary of the first successful demonstration of ether anaesthesia in 1846, a breakthrough that revolutionized medicine. Anaesthesia allows patients to undergo surgery without pain, enabling life-saving procedures and improving the overall quality of care.

✨ Why is Anaesthesia Important?

It relieves pain during surgery, ensuring patient comfort.
Supports critical care by facilitating complex procedures and life support.
Enhances recovery by reducing stress and anxiety for patients.
Enables painless childbirth, improving maternal care.
Let’s celebrate the dedicated anaesthesiologists who ensure safe, pain-free treatments. Your work is vital to modern medicine! 🙏
Do exercises in the morning!🤸

The human body is not able to fully wake up when the alarm clock rings. And even at the moment when you have already got out of bed, all internal organs and systems still continue to "rest".

During sleep, blood circulation slows down, metabolism slows down, and mental activity decreases. That is why, during awakening, a person feels a slight lethargy. He has decreased performance, both physically and mentally. In the morning, the reaction rate is significantly worsened.

This condition can last (depending on individual characteristics) from 1 to 3 hours. To fully wake up and shake off such "inhibition", it is necessary to develop joints and muscles. In other words, you just need to do some exercises.

🎗️ Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Early Detection Saves Lives 🎗️

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers, but early detection can significantly improve outcomes. The 5-year survival rate for early-stage breast cancer is as high as 99%.

What You Can Do:

Self-Exams: Check your breasts monthly for lumps or changes. Knowing your body helps you notice any unusual signs early.

Mammograms: Women aged 40 and older should get a mammogram every 1-2 years. Talk to your doctor about the best schedule for you.
Clinical Exams: Regular check-ups with your healthcare provider can catch signs you might miss.

Stay Proactive:
Set reminders for your screenings and exams. Your health is a priority!

Spread the Word:
Encourage your loved ones to prioritize their breast health. Together, we can raise awareness and fight breast cancer through early detection.

Let’s continue supporting each other in this important mission. 💖
It may sound corny, but brush your teeth at least 2 times a day, in the morning and before going to bed. Statistics show that 70% of people brush their teeth only once a day. Believe me, an extra 5 minutes in the evening will save you a lot of money for the treatment of your teeth. I also recommend flossing 🦷
I rounded up exams friday, now need to prepare for a presentation on abdominal swelling
This should not be difficult at all
Just wondering if anyone has any unique ideas to make this topic standout
Sleep 7-9 hours every day💤

Sleep affects performance, emotional balance, brain and heart health, immune system, creativity, vitality, and even weight. In a dream, the body gains strength, and the brain processes the information received during the day. If there is not enough sleep or it is of poor quality, the brain does not have time to do night work and the person may feel sluggish and unable to concentrate.
Hello everyone I decided to publish simple ways and habits to be healthy! Let's start with the simplest thing that we do every day, but not so much.

Drink more water 💧
An adult needs about 8 glasses of liquid per day. This amount includes all drinks and liquid products (for example, soups). But it is better to replace strong tea and coffee with clean water. Try to get used to drinking a glass of water immediately after waking up: this allows you to wake up faster yourself and "wake up" the gastrointestinal tract.

Can’t wait to round my osce this week
Good reminder about oral hygiene 🤓
Had my first patient today dealing with outcomes of LLM guided treatment vs my own.

38yo 5 months ago, Pt had high LDL and cholesterol markers. Around 110. He was adamant about taking Zetia instead of statin as for some reason the LLM recommended it (my guess is his prompts)

Today came back with LDL
178.
This is a beautiful read and I will like to raise awareness on it let make more healthy decisions
Recent studies show that microplastics are found in atherosclerotic plaques, increasing the risk of heart disease. To reduce exposure, avoid using plastic containers for hot foods. Instead, opt for safer alternatives like glass or stainless steel
