At some point you have to prioritize how you will spend those hours, and no one else can do it for you. Everyone has unique needs and goals, and works at her own pace. One of my favorite quotes from Girl Med Live 2018 was Dr. Suzy Feigofsky ( @DrSuzyFeigofsky ) saying “Every time you say ‘yes’ to something, you are saying ‘no’ to something else.”

Smith : Normal ST Elevation in V2-V4 never has an associated Q-wave! So this STE cannot be considered normal even though there was STE on the previous ECG. But because there was no new ST elevation, the ECG was signed off as “STEMI negative” and the patient waited to be seen. But no repeat ECG was done after symptom resolution.

This was shown to me in real time. I thought it had to be an inferior-lateral-posterior OMI. But the patient had no symptoms. Later, she did admit to some vague chest discomfort, but that could be due to the power of suggestion. The one strange t hing that I noted at the time is that there is no reciprocal ST depression in aVL. There was no OMI.

Smith : Old inferior MI with persistent ST Elevation ("inferior aneurysm") has well-formed Q-waves. In inferior aneurysm, we usually see QR-waves, whereas for anterior aneurysm, we see QS-waves (no R- or r-wave at all!). This ECG has Q-waves, but they are not very wide nor very deep, and so I doubt that the inferior STE is due to old MI.
