So yesterday the awesome attending I work with started a new “game” at the conclusion of the day, oral board style cases, and I love it! He pitches us a one liner representing a commonly seen patient and says “so what do you want to do?” and lets us have at it. We have to ask about everything and nothing gets done unless we tell someone to do … Continue reading Practice Oral Board Cases
So my preceptor today showed me a great article covering the “dark side” of emergency medicine. I only got 3 paragraphs in before I was promptly whisked in another direction, unable to finish my read. It was so good I spent >20 minutes tonight searching Google with the 3 unique words I barely remember in an attempt to share it with my readers (still haven’t found it). … Continue reading 15 not so obvious Emergency Medicine apps
So I love tech. A lot. There’s not typically one sole channel I use to obtain all my reviews/information from and that’s probably a good thing. When a new product is being released I simply put its name in Google/YouTube and start clicking away. This way I see a lot of content really quickly from a bunch of different sources without basing my thoughts around one … Continue reading Introducing The Verge
I love recommending my most frequently used iPhone apps to those who might benefit. This is by no means a generic list of apps which I assume everyone uses (IMDB, Instagram, Gmail, etc.) but rather applications which I use at least once a week, streamline my life and possibly introduce a little fun 😉 Cash: Everyone I know uses Venmo, but why not use something simpler? The Cash app … Continue reading Favorite iPhone Apps 2017
Sitting in class I quickly realized 2 things: (1) I literally have endless topics to write about! I figured I would struggle to come up with daily material to blog about but au contraire. The more I jot down the more topics just keep spewing out to discuss later. It’s unbelievable! It’s all this suppressed subconscious screaming to be heard by anyone that cares to lend an ear (or in this … Continue reading Reviewer Promise
So if you happened to glance at my “about” section you may have seen that I frequently listen to southeast asian music, with today being no exception on the way to work. However today was different in that instead of putting my iPhone on shuffle to sample a few of the 6,000+ songs that I have, I specifically went straight for one artist: Royal Pirates. I … Continue reading Royal Pirates & James Lee
Tuesday quickly came and passed with an outstanding senior student’s last day (leaving an obvious void), an incredible amount of laughs and a surprising number of interesting & unique patients. I kept track of the numerous things I will write about in the coming days but I decided on something different for today. His name, Dom Mazzetti. Dom is a fictional character played by Mike Tornabene and co-written/shot by his … Continue reading Introducing Dom Mazzetti
I’ve always been one to struggle with interpreting EKG (ECG) quickly and efficiently. When pimped, it’s typically a question set I inevitably fumble through & being a potential EM resident this is absolutely “no bueno“. So I decided to take initiative and do what us busy white coat students do best: locate quality, succinct information ASAP through the web. Here’s what I found: two excellent YouTube tutorials under … Continue reading EKG Refresher Videos
I spent the better part of the weekend bored and in front of the TV to my disliking. I attempted to use this time to try several of the games which I’ve amassed through monthly free xbox live games, Slickdeal and random spending sprees. Here are my favorites: Tumblestone: up to 4 players local, select 3 identical colored blocks in a row & repeat until … Continue reading Awesome “light” Xbox One games:
“Two priests travel to Japan in an attempt to locate their mentor and propagate Catholicism.” – IMDB Currently 84% critics, 72% viewers – Rotten Tomatoes I literally knew zero things about this film going into it. I happened across 2x free tickets on Slickdeal, saw Liam Neeson on the cover, something about Japan and a “certified fresh” so I immediately clicked buy. Simply, just wow! Visually the most … Continue reading ‘Silence’ by Scorsese – 8.5/10
