Also for rotator cuff tears, I've been seeing a lot of q-banks using the empty-can test as a buzz-phrase for rotator cuff tear.

I normally don’t comment under people’s photos but I just took my family medicine shelf and this video along helped me answer at least 5 questions on the exam. Specifically the topics on pericarditis, costochondritis, and ACL tear.

[@hiud11]

I genuinely love your shelf reviews! Along w the great content, it doesn't feel like I'm having to swallow pieces of information. You connect and compartmentalize everything so well!

[@Jobeexotic]

Great video! I really like how you work through differential diagnoses, as this is usually how the USMLE wants you to think. Keep it up!

For the question about the lady with >180 systolic, I think you clumped hypertensive urgency and emergency together. Isn't urgency >180 without organ damage, and emergency is >180 with evidence of organ damage?

[@Doctor_Tim]

That's exactly right, emergency is based on end-organ dysfunction, thanks for the clarification!

[@TylerArismendi]

I recommend your videos to all of my classmates during clerkships! I really appreciate the differential diagnoses and direct bullet points with bolded high yield information. Thank you for posting this content!

[@emmycoffey400]

This was lovely!!!!

[@disturbia1378]

Great video! But aren't vaccination/immunization schedule and screenings a big part of Family Medicine shelf too?

[@Doctor_Tim]

Great point. Yes they are! They tend to change more frequently than some of the stuff I covered in this video, but I definitely want to go over schedules in a part 2 to this video.

[@michaelnee550]

Wouldn’t the 42 year old with 180/91 be in hypertensive crisis by definition?

[@Doctor_Tim]

That's correct, thanks for catching that. I misspoke and should have clarified that hospital admission is typically for hypertensive emergency (>180 systolic with end organ dysfunction). In this case, very close follow-up would be required because there was evidence of hypertensive urgency. Some consider admission in hypertensive urgency as well. Thanks again!
