A young patient presents with numbness in the limbs. Neurological workup is confusing. Blood tests reveal HDL levels that are nearly absent. Then you look in the mouth and see this. What's the first diagnosis that comes to your mind?

That entire screenshot *screams* mental illness. So fucking obvious. Any doctor that performs that sorta surgery without a full psychological workup (think Autism) from a proper panel needs their license revoked, and jail time. Tired of hearing/reading about negative results.

We welcome @CMSGov proposals which are spot on! Time to remove patient care barriers, increase access, streamline workup/treatment, get rid of redundant practices that lead to increased health care $. No reason to still practice same as 20 years ago. @SCAI

Just made another MGUS diagnosis today. About one every week now l and only in the multi- Covid jabbed. Appears as a mild anemia and an SPEP is part of my usual anemia workup besides the usual labs and checking for GI bleed causes.

workup bitch

Anybody who thinks Romy Gonzalez is gonna spark this #redsox team needs a complete neurological workup and bone scan. It’s over. They’re dead. Save this tweet, Rene.

One 25-second clip of him adjusting in a chair doesn't override a full medical workup with labs, imaging, and specialist checks.

7/8 The distinction matters because the next step differs. Microclots point to vascular workup. Mast cells to a mediator workup. Costochondral to a physical exam. Dysautonomia to autonomic testing.

During a living liver donor workup, doctors typically perform: Blood type testing Tissue typing (HLA testing) Genetic and family history reviews Extensive blood work and medical screening

🇺🇸Seems you are constitutionally only 67 as indicated by physician’s presidential workup. However, you’re ageless per U.S. Constitution. Happy Birthday, President Trump. Many happy returns. 🙏

What long covid highlighted for me is that I was left undiagnosed or under-treated for conditions that covid made much worse, like a long-term fibromyalgia diagnosis without ever having a hypermobility workup, like it turbocharged everything I was told to just live with.

Elderly woman. Apathetic. AMS workup neg. Did you look at her face? George Willis, MD (@DocWillisMD) from ResusX:2026: Myxedematous facial changes get missed a lot. Don't rule out decompensated hypothyroidism because you waited for coma. What's your next move? Comment below.👇

What should a doctor do in such a case? Initial workup: • CBC with differential • Peripheral smear (look for blasts) • Reticulocyte count • LDH & uric acid (high cell turnover) • Coagulation profile (PT/INR, aPTT, fibrinogen) • Renal & liver function tests • Electrolytes • Chest X-ray if mediastinal involvement suspected Confirmatory tests: • Bone marrow aspiration/biopsy • Flow cytometry (immunophenotyping) • Cytogenetics & molecular studies Important: Do not label these patients as simple gingivitis or viral illness without checking CBC if red flags are present: • Pallor • Fever • Bruising/bleeding • Lymphadenopathy • Hepatosplenomegaly • Bone pain Early suspicion saves lives.

All I wanted to do was help an injured raccoon that fell into my yard, ideally just to relocate it so my dog didn’t get to it first, and then it bit me through my glove, so now I’m getting a rabies workup to be safe because it did in fact break skin 🫩

🫁 Lung cancer screening saves lives, but only when the full pathway works efficiently. A new review in Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine highlights how lung cancer screening diagnostic efficiency can be improved across three key domains: 📌 Eligibility and uptake 📌 Adherence to annual screening 📌 Diagnostic evaluation of concerning findings Low-dose CT screening has reduced lung cancer mortality in major trials, but real-world implementation remains complex. The goal is not only to detect early-stage lung cancer. It is also to avoid diagnostic harm. That means reducing: ➡️ False negatives ➡️ False positives ➡️ Unnecessary invasive testing ➡️ Nonmalignant surgical resections ➡️ Overdiagnosis of indolent lesions ➡️ Unnecessary workup of incidental findings The review emphasizes several practical opportunities: ✅ Better identification of eligible patients ✅ Improved smoking history documentation ✅ Centralized screening programs to support adherence ✅ Standardized follow-up after positive screens ✅ Better pulmonary nodule risk assessment ✅ More coordinated invasive diagnostic pathways ✅ Careful management of subsolid nodules and incidental findings The takeaway: The future of lung cancer screening quality will depend not only on how many people are screened, but on how safely and efficiently patients move from eligibility to diagnosis, treatment, or surveillance.
