This is helpful and quick. I have one suggestion: can you please stick to generic drug names instead of the brand names? Brand names can change and they can also vary across countries/ manufacturers. Thanks.
Absolutely brilliant. And I like it when you explain purely from a students perspective. ' I always wondered why the treatment is so long '. And from Jane haha.
Last night I met with a teenager boy with diagnosed endocarditis.. you could hear the murmur from apex of the heart from auscultation and palpable thrill at apex region. Pt also has clubbing of finger nails. Rare case
I just got out of icu for this. I was on a dopamine drip for a week. I got released and seems to be getting better but am going to have to drive back a 5 hour trip to follow up and make sure I'm still OK. I'm just in Illinois and have to drive and do my homework to see where I should go and get help. I hope I'll make it. My stress test I did great on. And am hoping to live😊. No need for a pacemaker or anything like that right now. I'm not on any antibiotics though. Should I be worried? I hope I'm getting better.
Wouldn’t a long antibiotic treatment regimen cause antibiotic resistance? Might there be a way to use lasers via a endoscopic procedure to dissolve the mucous lining to better treat the bacteria infection faster?
I lowkey expected him to discuss the intricate details of infective endo.. like explaining the pathophysiology of janeway lesions osler nodes roth spots splinter hemorrhages etc. For anyone wondering, janeway lesions, roth spots and splinter hemorrhages occur due to septic emboli from heart lodging in the tiny capillaries. Osler nodes form due to our immune reaction against the septic emboli. Correct me if i'm wrong.
Please turn 'clinician's corner' into videos of clinicians talking about unusual cases they've encountered in their practice and all the new details.. not a clinician explaining the very basics of a disease
