A couple things that puzzle me on the most recent AP Poll: Two loss Notre Dame: Ranked 13th. Those two losses: No.2 Miami and No. 4 Texas A&M. Two loss Illinois: Unranked. Their two losses: No. 1 Ohio State and No. 3 Indiana. One loss USC: No. 21. That one loss: #Illinois.

As an outpatient IM/primary care physician who is on the receiving end of hospital notes, the pattern that gets followed: copy and paste the ER cc and HPI. Keep that same note in every subsequent hospital progress note. (don't update with changes in symptoms, etc). Add a table of daily vital signs, including I/O's. copy and paste the result of every single imaging study (for some reason, lab results are not typically added - there's just something about imaging reports 🤔) For discharge summary, just do the same (again, use the ER chief complaint and the ER detailed HPI). Add a discharge "problem list" that does not need to include the final diagnosis. It seems specific diagnoses are considered a bit superfluous in this setting. Tell the patient to follow up with PCP and you're done.

INSIDE LOOK 👀 Read from the upcoming issue (June 10): Original research may suggest that watchful waiting could be more appropriate than upfront surgical intervention in patients with small pulmonary subsolid nodules and low consolidation tumor ratios. hubs.la/Q03qZ_r40

New CHEST guidelines recommend a more restrictive approach to platelet and fresh frozen plasma use in the ICU. What do critical care teams need to know? 🔗 Read the full article: hubs.la/Q03rn8Mw0

Pulmonary and ICU colleagues, please consider supporting the @accpchest foundation's 90 for 90 campaign recognizing the 90th anniversary of CHEST. Did you know CHEST was founded by a patient? Our connection with our patients is in the organization's DNA. chestnet.org/membership-and-…

@marklewismd is speaking at #WCLC2024 One of the more unusual formats at what is typically a strictly academic/scholarly venue. So important for us to deal with the demons we keep suppressed while dealing with death and dying every day. Just a privilege to hear this raw truth.

Also credit to @MMaddaus for his discussion of “The 2nd Victim” experience when something bad happens to our patients. One of the best sessions I’ve attended. Uncovered a couple scabs from the past, but both speakers have offered useful ways to find grace when things go poorly.
