    EKG Help

    Reading EKGs is a daunting task. I’ve learned the basics of EKGs on 20 separate occasions, yet somehow I never seem to recall the basics when needed. If you’re like me and need a refresher or a first time course here are some tools I’ve found useful. 

    #1. Watch these 3 intro to EKG videos: http://www.ems-ed.net/Video/index.html

    #2 Take these quizzes. http://library.med.utah.edu/kw/ecg/tests/index.html

    If this is your first time with EKGs, you will find more resources on the med.utah website for further explanation. 

    Just thought I’d share my secrets for preparing for Cardio! Bonus: now I won’t keep searching for the same websites every time I want to review. I’ll just look here!

    One more week!! I’m trying to focus on my upcoming exam, but all I can think about is going to Kenya. I am so blessed to have this opportunity. Thank you to everyone who has helped make it possible for me to go! And please continue to pray about this trip. Pray not only that we’ll travel safely, but also that we may touch the hearts and lives of many Africans for generations to come. 

    Many of the medical students and physicians from my school are already there. They’ve already seen some unusual diseases that we rarely if ever see here in the US. In only 3 days in clinic they’ve seen tungiasis, onchoceriasis, kaposi sarcoma, and chlamydia trachomatis (leading cause of blindness) amongst many others. 

    We can buy Internet cards in Kenya and use our computers in the evening, so I am going to make every effort to use this blog as a journal for my travels. I can’t wait to share my experiences with you! Back to studying for now…

    Overall a good numbness...

    Sounds like a Pink Floyd lyric, right? This is actually an exact quote from my latest 3rd year evaluation.  

    When I was on Neurology, our hospital had just switched over to the electronic medical record system and the Neurology department was struggling… more specifically my resident who learned English as a 2nd language and who had no experience typing. I enjoyed working with him and felt as if we became pretty close working together to figure things out. And this is what he wrote!

    The minute I read it, I knew it was a mistake and laughed out loud.

    Apparently, he hit ‘submit’ just as he realized what he had typed. He found me later at the hospital and apologized profusely, but I think it was worth it. The Dean may be perplexed when he reads that entry, but I got a pretty funny story out of the deal!

    Heart Stop Beating by Jeremiah Zagar of Focus Forward Films.

    Back in July of 2011, a reader asked me about my opinion on a pulseless pump. At the time, I had never heard of such a technology but was excited and intrigued. Drs. Billy Cohn and Bud Frazier saved the life of Craig Lewis with a pump design that was so far out of the box, that by all conventional metrics the patient was dead.

    And yet he lives.

    This is the story behind that amazing radiograph.

    “The art of medicine is in amusing a patient while nature affects the cure.”
    — Voltaire

    It’s true! So often I feel like my sole job is to reassure patients that they haven’t been “sick forever”. :)

    Why do you think that so many people nowadays don't feel that philosophy is important?

    Several Reasons

    1) Economical down turn and the need for high paying careers

    2) Consumerism

    3) Ethical irresponsibility

    4) People getting dumber
