watching this at the beginning of my psych clerkship as a preview and its perfect! thanks!
I think where you shine compared to other medicine UA-camrs is your explanation and logical, common sense thought process and reasoning behind certain things. It really made me understand somethings by logically thinking, instead of regurgitating facts and memorizing uworld table. It’s similar to the way divine teaches and some Emma Holiday, but your even better at explaining in simple terms that any common man could understand without using complex terminology.
Super helpful! For HDS BAT w/o peritoneal signs, looks like all roads lead to CT? Regardless of whether the FAST is +/- the next step is CT, either to plan surgery or to look for another cause for the symptoms... so why even bother with the FAST? Is it mostly if a patient is borderline going unstable and you want info fast? Otherwise as the algorithm is written it looks like "waste" since it wouldn't alter the diagnostic path. But I could totally see the utility of FAST for quick info incase things went south fast
Unstable and no peritonitis, but fast scan is positive > laparatomy. Mainly for that, bec there is fluid leakage, no peritonitis, and there unstable, so surgical exploration is needed. Fast scan negative + unstable or fast scan positive + stable = CT bec it’s not urgent danger and have time to investigate further.
Superb bro. ❤
Dr. Tim is the GOAT. Thank you from a medical student preparing for Level 2!
Do you know of a resource that has the diagnostic and management algorithms/steps for these cases? I can identify most of these things but need more concise next best step in management or treatment in each case or scenario. Thanks
Case Files - Internal Medicine fourth edition by Toy and Patlan is what a lot of us are using. Maybe not specifically for emergency medicine but it has a lot of examples that you're describing. Maybe you can buy it but I know people just airdropped PDFs of it so it's probably around
“Surgery because it freaks me out…” lord please don’t ever be my doctor. Stanford type B is medical management, but glad to know that student thinks surgery for everyone.
Awesome videos!!! You're an inspiration Dr. Tim ✨️
Thank you Tim! For your Jakafi example, do we just assume that they did a valid study with appropriate significance all the the ad itself gives no details on how the study was conducted?
Yes, that's exactly the thought! Unless you can see the measures of significance in detail or if they mention some internal flaws of the study, it's usually best to just interpret with those assumptions (unless they specifically mention otherwise).
Is this applicable for step 3 as well?
Yes, that's right. Specifically for the diagnosis/next step/management style of questions the material has quite a bit of overlap!
whats a good resource for the risk factors and prognosis questions??
That's a tough one. There are probably several that are decent but hard to fine one that is totally comprehensive. The Amboss library, U-World summary tables, Divine Intervention series, and even Up-to-Date articles can all be useful!
this was a very good video with just enough explanation of basics to understand everything without memorization and keeping it brief to the high yield information. My only feedback is that I would have preferred if you also explained how to spot the subcortical stroke symptoms so we could get the full picture.
not sure if you'll see this but how do you differentiate between manic psychosis and one of the schizo diseases? That trips me up in question stems
Great question! The main things to keep in mind are using whatever diagnostic criteria they are giving and using those when you can. Like for example with schizoaffective, they will almost always emphasize a 2-week period with psychotic symptoms and no features of the mood disorder. Otherwise sometimes it can be helpful to try and figure out what the primary symptom(s) are and which seems more "accessory" or "secondary". For example in bipolar disorder with psychotic features, the hallmark symptoms of mania will be the focal point of the question with some added notes about hallucinations. For sure though these can be difficult and it's a combo of using diagnostic criteria and using the "picture" they are trying to paint to find the underlying primary diagnosis.
Can we get this pdf as well on the website??? Thanks in advancen
Done!
Can you put this pdf/pptx on the website?? Thank you!
For sure!
thank you for your video <3
I didn’t chose A in Q1 becos I believe troponin would not show up in the first 2 hours in an MI or ACS.
That's a reasonable thought, it is pretty early in the timeline for troponin to be significantly elevated. Because it is such a highly sensitive marker though, it can be useful early on in management to see what the "baseline" value is and see if that changes over time. So even if it was normal or only mildly elevated, being able to trend it over the next several hours will be very useful in management. Great point though!
Excellent lecture. Thanks.
Dr. Tim! these reviews are so helpful! carried me thru OBGYN, Peds, and Psych. Have my Medicine self in a few days. Would love to see if you have pulmonary review. watching the other dedicated systems rn throughout the week. Thank you for the great presentations through out!
That's great to hear! Definitely have a pulmonary review in the works, that's a great suggestion!!
Great explanations!!!
Thank you so much for this! The timing of this was perfect as I'm taking my IM shelf next week and don't have a ton of time to review ID. I also used your content for psych as well. Looking forward to more content!
I'm glad it was helpful for you! Best of luck!
Very accurately described.
Thank you
Phenomenal job! Great content! Perfect pace! And brilliant slides! Please put your name on all your slides. Sometimes I screenshot them to reinforce the material & on occasion share with a classmate. Thank you for your work‼️
Excellent video. Great revision and peactice. Thanks.
For the second question can you explain why the answer was NOT sarcoidosis? The explanation provided afterward basically showed that all the hints you gave applied to both, so I am curious as to what the reasoning to be used there to discriminate them
Great question. Sarcoid could definitely be considered solely based on the lab findings alone including the restrictive pattern and even reduced DLCO. The way to differentiate it from ILD was the history and demographic information. The age-range and "fine" crackles fits more with ILD and helps deter from sarcoid. They could show you a similar question with a young female with no prior history and that shifting of the background and demographic would be more typical of a sarcoid question!
@@Doctor_Tim Thank you Dr. Tim, great video btw, I've watched every single one, now IM is my last rotation
@@Imonaboattt900 That's great to hear! Best of luck on your rotation!
Can you do a part 2, where you include things like Cost Benifit analysis and related topics? (Sensitivity analysis, Cost utility, QALY, DALY, etc...)
That is a great suggestion, definitely some topics I can incorporate into a QI/QC type video!
@@Doctor_Tim Thank you doctor. I am in medical school and surprisingly (or surprising to me) This topic (plus biostats) is worth 11% of my total grade from year 1 and year 2 of medical school and a substantial part of my Step 1 Exam. Its become a huge topic in medical school.
Thank you so much!!! So well explained.
This was the BEST cardio video I have ever seen. The explanations are amazing! Can not believe cardio has never been taught to me this way. Thank you!!!!
Wouldn't wide-spread vasodilation lead to decreased peripheral vascular resistance and pooling of blood in the peripheral tissues. As a result, wouldn't blood flow to the extremities be compromised? Wouldn't this lead to cold extremities due to decreased perfusion and circulation to those areas?
That's a great question. What you are saying could be possible after an extended period of distributive shock. However, they tend to primarily test the initial insult and the direct cardiovascular manifestations of that dysfunction. And in the short term, the decreased SVR and relative pooling of blood in the extremities is how the extremities stay warm in contrast to the other types of shock.
Thank you!
This is great! Thank you so much!
Thank you
Please do for all the systems. The vedios are helping me with the USMLE step 1 prep
Can step 1 takers watch this
Yes, this video was more focused on the clinical side but much of this is very applicable to Step 1 and the basic sciences as well!
too easy
A single dose of betamethasone is still given if there is preterm labor between 34 0/7 weeks and 36 6/7 weeks.
This was such a great review!! Im on my second to last rotation and really wish I would have discovered you sooner!
Thank you for sharing this, I found it very helpful for last minute shelf review!
Great Video. Please do one on Eye and ear pathologies for USMLE 2CK.
Great suggestion, definitely one that is planned!
Thanks a lot
