#TipsForNewDocs Angry referring doc: You didn't call w/an update on my pt! Me: You're right. I'm sorry. Here's my cell- call anytime. Less angry referring: OK... thanks. Lesson: when you own your mistake, no excuses, you forge trust and credibility. #kittlesonrules
#TipsForNewDocs Antidotes to imposter syndrome: 1) Recognize it's universal & appropriate- you should feel uncertain early in your career 2) Debrief & vent w/trusted colleagues, mentors- put your inexperience in perspective and learn from their experience #kittlesonrules
#TipsForNewDocs Don't shy away from giving patients bad news- false hope is worse. Offer honest assessment of prognosis + options -> together make a plan. End with a promise: you will still be their doc even if you can't fix their disease. #kittlesonrules
#TipsForNewDocs There are some essential meds in cardiology. HFrEF: ARNI/BB/MRA/SLGT2i. CAD: aspirin/statin. If a pt isn’t on the first-line meds, document why. Clear notes: you look good + others don’t have to reinvent the wheel= win-win! #kittlesonrules
#TipsForNewDocs: Art of the consult: 1) call early in the morning (consultants have lives too) 2) try to have a specific question: not “pt is anemic” but rather “anemia, low retic, no fecal occult blood, norm Fe/B12/folate —> do we need bone marrow bx?” #kittlesonrules
#TipsForNewDocs Sinus tachycardia is the delirium of cardiology. Delirium --> it's (basically) never the brain's fault. Sinus tach --> it's (basically) never the heart's fault. Don't be distracted by the wrong organ in search of the right answer! #kittlesonrules
Sometimes I’m asked how I “do it all“ w/3 kids and a career. I don’t. Career extras like research get put on hold when family requires more attention. Life happens in stages- don’t be hard on yourself. You’re not supposed to accomplish it all at once. #kittlesonrules
#TipsForNewAttendings Sometimes you can tell a trainee doesn't agree w/your plan but isn't sure what to say. Encourage questions and debate. You'll model respectful disagreement and explaining your rationale --> better understanding for you and the trainee. #kittlesonrules
#TipsForNewDocs Inpatient has renal mass on u/s. Plan is outpatient eval. No: "Defer to outpatient." Yes: "Per discussion w/rads, renal cell ca possible. Pt ready for discharge today; PMD aware, renal CT scheduled.” Don’t leave loose ends hanging. #kittlesonrules
#TipsForNewDocs It's great to titrate up meds on inpatients, but before you do, check the medication administration record (MAR) to ensure pt rec'd prior ordered dose first. Just b/c you order a med doesn't mean the pt received it-- trust the MAR! #kittlesonrules
76F has lipid panel: cholesterol 254, HDL 89, LDL 145, triglycerides 92. ASCVD 10-year risk 21.5%. Also needs MV repair for MVP with severe MR so CTCA ordered: no evidence of coronary artery disease and coronary artery calcium score zero. What do you recommend?
#TipsForNewDocs Complicated pt came to see me (cardiology). GI: get abd CT w/contrast. Nephro: don’t get abd CT w/contrast. Pt: ??? So I messaged GI/nephro for her. Talk to your colleagues! Avoid relaying medical recommendations through the pt. #kittlesonrules
#TipsForNewDocs The practice of medicine gets better (more rewarding, less scary) with experience. Approach medicine like a foreign language- put in the effort to memorize the grammar and vocabulary and you will soon be able to appreciate the poetry. #kittlesonrules
#TipsForNewDocs If the only justification you can muster for ordering a test is "the results would be of academic interest” or “I just want to know,” then don't order the test. #kittlesonrules
#TipsForNewDocs Bad: See the cardiologist for an angiogram. Good: See the cardiologist to decide the next best step for your symptoms. Don't paint the consultant into a corner- allow them to use their expertise to chart the right course for the patient! #kittlesonrules
#TipsForNewDocs You’re never too important to look it up. I’m a cardiologist and I still look up the treatment of pericarditis. I don't treat it a lot and want to ensure I have the duration/taper of NSAIDs right. UpToDate = your friend for life. #kittlesonrules
A patient transplanted as a child establishes care in your adult program- no complications or concerns. A few weeks later, his mom requests a phone call with you, without her son, because she was not at his visit. He gives permission to talk with her. What do you do?
#TipsForNewDocs Cringe-worthy chart phrases: “Avoid nephrotoxins” (w/o adding relevant ones) “Lungs clear. No crackles.” (redundant) “Pt has leg swelling x3d”… exam: “no edema.” (inconsistent) “Consider XYZ” (w/o saying why or why not) #kittlesonrules
A patient with whom you had a very close relationship but haven't seen in 5 years calls your office. He doesn't want to schedule an appointment, telehealth or in clinic, but requests that you call him to discuss recent health concerns. What do you do?
#TipsForNewDocs There’s a right time for negative/constructive feedback, but there’s never a wrong time for positive feedback. Give credit where credit is due: appreciate trainees, referring physicians, nurses, and ancillary staff early and often. #kittlesonrules

@MKIttlesonMD Love #kittlesonrules - there are plenty of things to do if the considered treatment does Not match patients goals, priorities and preferences. Holding hands and saying you’ll be there is not a small feat
A must read for young doctors is Prof Stephen Jay Gould's Median is not the message . Patients appreciate honesty that is done with empathy and factual knowledge. Spot on by Dr Kittleson. The Median Isn’t the Message journalofethics.ama-assn.org/article/median… via @JournalofEthics
#TipsForNewDocs Don't shy away from giving patients bad news- false hope is worse. Offer honest assessment of prognosis + options -> together make a plan. End with a promise: you will still be their doc even if you can't fix their disease. #kittlesonrules
Love this. Dr Kittleson is absolutely overflowing with wisdom, but this is perhaps the most important pearl of all. In many ways, the patients you can't 'cure' need you more than the ones you can. Walking that road with them is hard, but it's the most important work we do.

@MKIttlesonMD Hopefully with your posts and philosophy, you are, in effect, cloning yourself. ❤️
@MKIttlesonMD “Don’t give false hope Don’t take away last hope” The most painful podcast I ever listened to was a short series of a woman with bowel cancer. Fortunately she had a smart, kind doctor. I’ve never heard anyone cling to last hope like she did.@drkiwicj stuff.co.nz/national/13033…
