This is the annual posting of my anniversary video - the only non-medical post of the year. Yet again my lack of preparation and organization has thwarted my well-intentioned efforts to get to Hallmark and buy an anniversary card for my wife. When will I learn? I keep having to fall back on these videos. I know that it's getting old by now... Anyway, sorry Kerri. Happy Anniversary. I hope this will suffice. There are some really great cards with haikus and pictures of flowers and birds on them that I had read about on the Hallmark message boards.
No new content this week, so that I can spend time with my wife and sons this Thanksgiving week in the US.
PEMPix is not the only diagnosis competition that is held by the American Academy of Pediatrics‘ Section on Emergency Medicine. EmergiQuiz is a case-based presentation series that challenges the audience to think through the differential diagnosis for a complex case. Part 1 launches 9/14/2020.
July 1st is kind of an "unofficial" hospital in the medical world isn't it? Especially with everything going on in the world right now I wanted to deliver an encouraging message to all of you.
My only non medical post of the year... Happy 13th Anniversary to my amazing wife. Enjoy the video everyone!
