Hi all! Grace here.

I am not yet studying Anatomy and probably won’t until next year, but I decided to look up sources relating to Anatomy and gather them here for future reference! I will be adding more to it as I find more. If you are currently studying Anatomy or already have, please let me know if there were sources you are using/did use that were/are helpful so I can add them! :)

Heart murmurs mnemonic

Hello people with a pumping heart in their chests, obviously! <3 In this post, I’ll be taking about the few mnemonics I use in relationship to murmurs. “PASS” is a good mnemonic for remembering that pulmonic and aortic stenosis give a systolic murmur. The opposite of PASS, ie, other two valves and the other defect gives a systolic murmur too. (Mitral and tricuspid regurgitation gives a systolic murmur!) VSD has a S so that’s systolic. Now, the other ones - pulmonic and aortic regurgitation, mitral and tricuspid stenosis will cause diastolic murmurs :) Here’s another mnemonic submitted by one of the readers: For the systolic murmurs: MR. P.V. TRAPSS (Mister Per Vaginum traps? :P) MR. P. - Mitral Regurgitation or Prolapse V. - VSD TR - tricuspid regurg APS - Aortic or Pulmonary Stenosis S - Systolic For the diastolic murmurs: MS. PAID MS - Mitral Stenosis PAI - Pulmonary or Aortic Insufficiency D - Diastolic Here are a few more lame mnemonics I made when I was in final year! =) I remember GDP or Gross Domestic PRoduct. Graham Steel murmur is a Diastolic murmur associated with Pulmonary Regurgitation. Alternatively you can remember, Graham SED PR (Graham said per rectum? xD) For Graham Steel, Early Diastolic, Pulmonary Regurgitation.

Carrey Coombs murmur is seen in rheumatic carditis. “RCCC (Renal cell carcinoma) is diagnosed by MD and MS”, is my mnemonic. Rheumatic carditis, Carrey Coombs, Mid diastolic, Mitral Stenosis. Austin flint murmur is seen in aortic regurgitation. “AFAR MD” helps me remember Austin Flint, aortic regurgitation and Mid Diastolic. I am actually not a fan of using mnemonics for concepts like murmurs. But once, I was asked to name systolic murmurs in a viva. And you know how vivas are, if you don’t answer quickly, another question is thrown at you. Luckily, I remembered this mnemonic that day and could answer quickly. That’s when I realized, it’s okay (It’s awesome, actually!) to understand all the murmur mechanisms properly when you have time to imagine at home and it’s definitely okay to use mnemonics cheaply when you don’t have time to think, that is, in time bound exams. That’s all! Lub dub goes my heart… -IkaN

Advice to incoming MS3s

Third year is officially over for me, which is BONKERS. Some quick words of wisdom:

Start using UWorld with every rotation. I know, you thought you were free. You were wrong.

Have at least 2 white coats and wash with bleach once a week, don’t be nasty. 

An ipad mini fits in most white coat pockets. You will have lots of snippets of time- 15 minutes here, 20 minutes there- to study. 

Always ask if there is anything you can do to help the team before you sit and study.

Your scheduled leaving time is not concrete. Especially on wards. Don’t hang your hat on ‘4pm’ if that is when your syllabus says you are supposed to leave. It’s more like ‘around 4pm’. 

However the residents are busy and will often forget to dismiss you when you’ve served your usefulness for the day. Find the right words that include asking if there is anything else that you can do to help the team, and if not asking if you can go home to study for the shelf. YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO STUDY FOR THE SHELF. 

Find out on day 1 and with every new team what is expected of you. This will lead to less heartbreak later (ex: team 1 told me that xyz was ok. When team 2 came at the start of the month I asked about xyz and that was NOT kosher with this team and we never recovered. True life story).

Schedule internal medicine or family medicine last, so the broad shelf review can double as Step 2 review. 

Schedule surgery rotation when the weather is gross. At least you won’t be missing anything when you’re inside from 5am-5pm or later. 

Avoid rotating on inpatient peds during January if you can. It’s the busiest and worst month for peds wards. 

You will get either a nasty upper respiratory infection or a hideous gastrointestinal bug on peds. It happens to everyone. 

Emma Holliday Ramahi has SUPER CLUTCH lectures/powerpoints for internal medicine, surgery, peds, and psych. If you know her stuff cold you will be a-ok on the shelf exams. 

Pestana Surgery Review is also great for the shelf and being pimped.

Surgeons are always late. You are late if you are on time. Always be early on surgery unless you were scrubbed in a case. 

There is no good guide to study for the neuro shelf, but I used Blueprints and Casefiles and UWorld and I passed. 

For family medicine, join AAFP and register for their qbank (it takes a week or so to verify your account so do it early in the rotation). 

For ob-gyn the best qbank was APGO. Free for students and I felt the comprehensive quizzes prepared me for the shelf. 

Blueprints and Case Files were what I used for shelf exams and I passed all of them, but everyone has different resources so just use what you like. 

ALWAYS HAVE SNACKS YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY SNACKS ON YOU AT ONE TIME SAVE A LIFE.

Have multiple pens. A pen is a precious resource in the hospital.

If you can, cut back on your caffeine intake before third year, because you’ll need it to do something for you this year. 

It is definitely possible to get at least 7 hours of sleep on non-call nights, but you have to cut pretty much everything else out. 

Take one day a week off from shelf studying for the love of tacos. 

Basic food prep ahead of time is massively helpful. 

Good luck going to the doctor or dentist (unless it’s an acute thing) tho, it’s kind of garbage. 

Do yourself a favor and put your full rotation schedule, rotation lectures and locations and random quizzes/assignment due dates in your organizer of choice the first day of the rotation. 

Forgive the interns, their lives are pretty shitty and that will be you in 24 or less months. 

Stick up for your fellow med students. 

You have more time than anyone on your service. Spend time with the patients. See if the nurses will show you how to draw labs. 

Sometimes you will be stuck with scut work. Scut work sucks but it usually is something that helps the residents and you always want to help the residents.

AND Here is my Basics for Wards series, hopefully it will be helpful to you.

Good luck!

The Academic Medicine journal had a great article about the habits and attitudes of physicians, things you can start doing now as a premed! We talk about them.

Hear ye, hear ye! Important stuff, over here.

This talk focuses on the habits and attitudes that humanistic physicians have, as determined by interviewing the top physicians nominated by their internal medicine residents.

Most bang-for-buck things every intern should know before starting inpatient wards

Source. A collection of Meddit resources and advice on what bread-and-butter topics interns would most benefit from brushing up on/memorizing prior to the beginning of their internship. 1) Fluids. How and when to use them, dosage, timing and other pearls.

Review of fluids (not how to use them per se) by Dr. Strong /u/ericstrong

Maintenance Intravenous Fluids in Acutely Ill Patients - NEJM.

Pretty thorough review of fluid management on openanesthesia.org

2) Nausea. When to treat, how to treat and at what dose.

3) Standard pn orders: pain killers, sleep aids and antiemetics aka how to reduce nighttime calls from nurses by 25%

4) “Reflex” antibiotic choice for routine inpatient infections.

5) Initial work-up and treatment of dyspnea. (more realistic to approach by symptoms as, unfortunately, you first have to diagnose whats wrong. E.g. heart failure, pulmonary edema, embolism, COPD, pneumonia).

6) Initial work-up and treatment of oliguria/anuria.

7) A sensible initial approach to suspected ileus.

don’t forget the feet

Today I had a patient who was a little…off. She couldn’t tell me what year it is. She didn’t even know how to count backwards from 10.

I thought to myself, “She’s 70. Maybe there’s a history of cognitive decline?”

So while she sat and wondered about which day of the week it is, I quickly looked through her chart. But I found nothing. Nothing about memory lapses. Nothing about disorientation. Nothing about short-term memory issues. Nothing.

I preceded to do a full head-to-toe physical. When all I had left to do was the feet, I hesitated. I usually don’t skip the feet. But for this poor woman who sat there mumbling to herself and nodding off, I wondered if I should make an exception. The woman had enough trouble getting out of a chair, let alone pulling on socks and lacing her shoes. 

But I knelt down and placed my hands on her shoes. “Ma’am, is it okay if I take off your shoes and check the bloodflow in your feet?”

She nodded and returned to mumbling to herself.

After I got the laces undone and the shoes off, I carefully pulled back the socks. 

Then when I examined the soles of her feet, I found this:

Few rashes appear on the soles of the feet. Syphilis is one of them.

Syphilis can lie dormant for decades. Sometimes when it reappears, it can affect the eyes (occular syphilis). Other times, it can affect the brain (neurosyphilis), leading to dementia and behavioral disturbances.

I helped the woman put on her socks, and I tied her shoelaces. Then I left the room and reported to my preceptor. Once I mentioned the sudden cognitive decline and rash on the feet, my preceptor immediately searched the patient’s records at all local hospitals for bloodwork.

Then we found it. A positive RPR dating back a few decades, indicating that at some point the woman tested positive for syphilis. Looking through her records, she never received treatment.

We spent most of the following hour scrambling for an emergency infectious disease consult, and it did create some chaos for the remainder of our scheduled patients. But we managed, and now the poor woman is receiving treatment.

So, friendly reminder:

Don’t. Forget. The Feet.

[populationpensive]

Question for Baby-Faced Medblrs

I am a small woman and I look younger than I am. As a Medical Student, I’m wondering if Medblrs have any suggestions for reacting when patients call you “cute”, “young”, “a high school student” etc. or how to respond when they ask you how old you are. I know they don’t mean it in a bad way, but it’s awkward to deal with and I don’t want people to assume that because I look young I can’t do a good job.

Any advice or signal boosts would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

[studiousmedic]

I get this A LOT. I am 23 but am constantly told I don’t look it, by patients, their families and doctors and nurses. Honestly you get used to it, the first couple times are mildly annoying/awkward but you just laugh it off, say something like “ah I get that all the time!” And then move on from it. If they assume that because you’re young you can’t do things as well then there’s not much you can do to change their mind other than just getting on and doing a good job! It would be inappropriate to spend time trying to convince them any other way. After a while you stop noticing it as much.

[aspiringdoctors-blog]

When patients ask me if I am old enough to be a doctor I tell them that I’m actually 12 and we start medical school in the cradle now. That usually makes them laugh and we move on.

S: SSRIs (Sertaline) I: Indomethacin (Analgesics) A: Antidepressants (Tricyclics) D: Diuretics (Thiazides) Desmopressin H: Hello :D

Causes: Cyclophosphamide Chlorpromazine Carbamazepine

Poor: Phenothiazines

Voiding: Vincristine Vinblastine

If you want a smaller mnemonic, one of the awesomites told me she uses “ABCD” for drugs causing SIADH A: Analgesics B: Barbiturates C: Cyclophosphamide, Chlorpromazine, Carbamazepine   D: Diuretics (thiazides)

starting the semester off right

hey everyone! so because the start of second semester is right around the corner, i decided to put together a list of tips for starting your return from break right, because if you’re anything like me you’ve really got to pull your shit together!!

1) get organized: sort through old papers and determine whether you need them, rewrite//arrange notes, fix up your desk/study area, clean your room, etc. (see these masterposts for more help on organization: x, x, & x 

2) if you don’t already, start tracking things. use a bullet journal or a planner to keep track of assignments and due dates, events, expenses, etc. for info on bullet journals, you can check out their main website and this masterpost by @areistotle

3) establish a positive relationship with professors/teachers. introduce yourself, participate during class, and ask questions. they’ll appreciate it and you’ll benefit from not only actively learning, but if you forget about a project they’ll probably be more lenient about giving you an extension than someone who’s been sulking in the back of the class!! 

4) start or re-establish good habits like waking up/going to bed at the same time every day, drinking enough water, doing your laundry, cleaning your room, setting aside time to study, and giving yourself free time. (5 scientific ways to build good habits) 

5) set goals for yourself. so you want an a in biology this semester? make a plan, figure out the steps, and do it!! (info on smart goals + a guide to goal setting)

6) do what you can before break ends. don’t save that project because it’s due in a month, do it now and use that time that you would be spending on it during the school year to revise.

7) make sure to give yourself time off. everyone needs to set aside time for themselves :) for more ideas on stress relievers, see this, this, and my personal favorite stress reliever, lush bath bombs !!
