I want to share this "routine" case we see everyday, but it has a little twist that we don't see very often. No tricks here!!
This is a 41-y-o Hispanic male, presented with lingering CP x 12 hrs. Exam negative.
Presenting EKG below:
Troponins below:
Did well overnight. No recurrent CP.
What's next: Stress or Cath?
You are seeing this 50-year-old male with new-onset diabetes. You confirmed the diagnosis based on his symptoms and blood work he brought with him. You gave him a prescription for diabetic medications and a self-test glucometer, and also gave him instructions about healthy diet and lifestyle.
He paid you and left your office. He didn’t show up at his next appointment to see you a couple of weeks later.
In your opinion, how much is the contribution of this clinical care you provided to his overall outcome (morbidity and mortality)?
- 80%
- 50%
- 20%
- 5%
If you are curious about the answer but not sure, then I ask you to explore the concept of “Social determinants of health, or SDOH”, and then you will know the answer.
I invite you to look at this very nice and short PDF document to further clarify the concept of health equity and SDOH.
Also, I invite you to take the poll at the end (answers anonymous). Also, I am curious about your comments about the topics and hearting input from colleagues practicing in different parts of the globe.

Imagine you are taking care of a patient that you have some moral conflict or problem with his/her behavior or choices in life. Will this affect you and/or the care you provide to that patient?
Very nice and easy reading and good food for thought below!
Helping Clinicians Cope With Moral Distress Can Improve Patient Care
“Consider a physician who is morally distressed over a patient with a substance use disorder who chooses to leave the hospital prematurely. This provider’s distress happens to be based on their idea that drug use is immoral and they wonder how much effort they are expected to expend in caring for patients who choose to live this way. In this case, the physician should be empathically supported in caring for patients who may be “difficult to help” because of a substance use disorder by confidentially helping the provider process their concerns and helping them manage their values in the context of providing needed care…..”

A guy walks into work, and both of his ears are all bandaged up. The boss says, "What happened to your ears?"
He says, "Yesterday I was ironing a shirt when the phone rang and shhh! I accidentally answered the iron."
The boss says, "Well, that explains one ear, but what happened to your other ear?"
He says, "Well, jeez, I had to call the doctor!" 😄😄
