A patient is left with a choice: financial devastation or blindness
That statement from a recent patient was a summary to me of what is bad in our health care “system.”  It’s a terrible summary of what is seen all over this country with people who must make the choice between financial solvency and health. Here’s what happened:  It was a new patient I saw, who is a veteran who owns two businesses.  He went out on his own when he “kept getting laid off.”  He has largely been successful in what he’s doing, but as is the case with many these days, he couldn’t afford health insurance.  This was especially bad because he had a heart attack last year, which required stenting...

" Shark Fin " : A Deadly ECG Sign that you Must Know!
Conclusions:Shark Fin is an electrocardiographic sign of acute coronary occlusion. It is a unique ECG phenomenon consisting of complexes formed by the blurring together of QRS and T-wave as a result of extreme ST-Deviation. These complexes manifest in contiguous ECG leads corresponding with coronary anatomy, and represent transmural ischemia. Shark Fin Sign should be recognized based on its characteristic morphology, and confirmed by delineating the J-point using the technique described above. While there is a paucity of literature on the topic, the presence of this sign appears to be associated with a significant mortalit...

Lung ventilation-perfusion scintigraphy – Cardiology MCQ – Answer
Lung ventilation-perfusion scintigraphy has a negative predictive value of nearly — percent for excluding thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension: Correct answer: a) 100% Because of the nearly 100% negative predictive value,  a normal lung ventilation-perfusion scintigraphy (V/Q scan) virtually excludes the diagnosis of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). V/Q scanning has a high sensitivity of 96 – 97.4% for detecting perfusion abnormalities. But V/Q scan being not very specific, its diagnostic utility is low. It can only be used as an initial screening test. Any abnormal test requires additio...

Double Standards, Trojan Style
By NIRAN AL-AGBA, MD The University of Southern California (USC) appears to look the other way when male physicians harass or assault women. In reality, sexual violence spares no occupation, including medicine, but the way an organization responds to crime against women indicates a certain level of integrity. The World Health Organization estimates sexual violence affects one-third of all women worldwide. In a nation where women make up 50% or more of each incoming medical school class, only sixteen percent of medical school deans are female, making gender imbalance in leadership positions nearly impossible to overcome. Fo...
