(Part 2) Top products from r/medicalschoolanki

I just ^(downloaded the book from) ^(libgen.io) purchased the book, and I didn't feel that it adds much compared to Pocket Medicine. Long answers to vague questions are not ideal to flashcard formats, IMO. Some of the frameworks are good, but he says in the preface (excerpt below) of the book that he didn't like a long list of differential diagnosis:

>I realized that having an approach to a problem in many cases is as simple as constructing a framework that divides the long differential diagnosis into shorter sublists, which are easier for our brains to store and process. Rather than memorize a long list of diagnoses, it is sufficient to remember the headings of a framework, from which many of the diagnoses can then be generated.

It turns out that the book just became another long list of diagnoses unless you use only the tips of the frameworks. Check this sample framework from the preface. Now check the same section from Pocket Medicine. As you can tell, very different approaches to clinical medicine. Getting a correct diagnosis (even a tough one) is not a heroic act; it is standard-care, evidence-based medicine. It doesn't matter if you memorize all causes of monoarticular inflammatory arthritis, because you'll most likely get a tap + pain characteristics + clinical epidemiology and get your diagnosis and treatment plan (often gives you the diagnosis in a retrospective manner). Being able to create differentials is one of the most important goals of medical school, and listing a long list of diagnosis based on simple frameworks sometimes is suitable for learning, but challenging to apply in a real-life scenario.

Having said all that, it only matters what you like and where you learn most from. The best Internal Medicine/Clinical Medicine is the one that teaches you most and makes you comfortable working and treating your patients. If there are no decks for this book, start slowly creating cards for you, as your necessity. In the preface, the author said that there were <8 frameworks that he had to use with a very high frequency (dyspnea, acute kidney injury, anemia, hypoxemia, diarrhea, fever of unknown origin, and syncope). Maybe starting with those will help you start building. All the best,

I know It gets hardcore in the trenches, #struggleisreal but always remember Safety comes first thats why I use this.... https://www.amazon.com/Mueller-Fitted-Wrist-Brace-Medium/dp/B002NLGNW8/ref=sr_1_4_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1538540542&sr=1-4&keywords=carpal+tunnel+wrist+brace

That exists!

Also, I've been compiling an immunology deck. Obviously, don't wait around for it, but I'm hoping to finish it up in the next month, exam schedule permitting. It's mostly done, I just need to remove the notes to myself and racist rants before making it public.

THE standard textbook for Immunology is Janeway, it's what we used in grad school (neuropharm PhD) but it's waaaaaaay more detailed that what any medical student would need to know. Its well written and I guarantee you'll recommend the figures in the text from your plagiarizing professors!

I'd agree with the important difference, that at first glance, it doesn't seem to include explicit frameworks. Like this, for example

Is it this title https://www.amazon.com/H:igh-Yield-Neuroanatomy-Douglas-J-Gould-ebook/dp/B010TREQ6W?

BetterTouchTool with the BTT remote app might do.

Ive also used a powerpoint clicker with the buttons remapped using
KarabinerElements

Ive only tried this on macOS. Not sure about Windows/Linux.

nah fam, the real deal.

Get a lumbar support pillow. Works wonders

Or get a portable table for bed


the downside is that studying while lying in bed makes me sleepy.
