Grand rounds presenter talked about how AI can help you write your scientific paper and how AI can help you read a scientific paper and when I asked okay well then what's the paper really for they totally missed the point
What is the status of DBS for epilepsy?

scientific code that isn't well commented is the devil
looking at you NoiseTools
Two days, two patients referred to me for seizures, two blatantly abnormal sets of orthostatic vital signs
Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today

Glad my own love for zonisamide is shared

Color science is wild, man. Math and models all the way down all because our eyes and brains evolved funny.
I read people's vibes
Oxygen is just a latrine for exhausted electrons
Judging by the intensity it also seems to be rock hard
So I only get 20 minutes to see this teen with neurofibromatosis who is transitioning from peds to adult care and that's just wonderful
Just finished The Saint of Bright Doors which was really rad
I read books with an eye toward which cultural references will need a footnote in a not-too-distant critical edition
How can EEG better diagnose and monitor status epilepticus?
Perhaps it's the realization that your body is more brittle than it used to be and falls are therefore potentially more catastrophic
I mean, that's what it is for me
When patients say "that should be in your records" it is tempting to point out that different hospital systems rarely play well with record sharing but I'm a little scared to admit the real reason I'm asking them for the details of their illness is because I don't always believe the records
Me: and thus this patient's epilepsy is related to their traumatic brain injury
Some doctor doing an "independent medical examination"for the insurance company: I am an idiot and don't know much about epilepsy but I am denying that this exists
One out of every twenty six people will develop epilepsy in their lifetime
Did one of them have, I dunno, like a massive peg sticking out?
New post up at status.epileptic.us
EEG: mildly encephalopathic, no seizures
Squid have eight arms and two tentacles
The colossal squid is the largest mollusc
Squid have beaks made of chitin
You can't just recapitulate the history of present illness in the assessment and plan. It's there for summarization and, well, ASSESSMENT
Fucked around with Thomas and found doubt
Theoretical astrophysicist
Here you can see what the spectrogram shows: run of rhythmic fast activity in the right frontocentral area
Interesting seizures on this patient. Spectrogram shows two waves of fast activity for each seizure.

Critical care doctor about an encephalopathic patient: it's not the cefepime, it's never the cefepime
Neurologists: ummmm
