Stethoscope Review

I have so much to be thankful for this year!  What I am most grateful for this year is the health of my loved ones and the privilege to practice medicine! And alsooooo my new Erka sensitive stethoscope from Medelita! They were so kind as to gift me this new medical accessory!

You may be thinking “You work in dermatology! You never use a stethoscope” and you would be right, 98% of the time. In dermatology, we do use stethoscopes to take blood pressure from putting patients on spironolactone, a potassium sparing diuretic which also decreases testosterone and therefore helps acne! Some side effects can include increased urination and therefore dizziness and hypotension so for patients with a history of low blood pressure, we check their BP in office before sending off a script. 

I was worried that I would miss having a bell with this stethoscope, but to be honest, I’m loving how sleek it is! It fits perfectly into a carrying case that virtually takes up no space in my bag! The dark gray color also goes with everything. 

The quality of heart sounds on this stethoscope are great, too! As a new PA, I still heavily rely on the quality of my stethoscope to hear murmurs. I seriously wish I had this stethoscope on my internal med rotations! What’s also nice about this stethoscope is the interchangeable ear pieces.  As someone with small ears, this is much appreciated! I can tell that this stethoscope is made of durable material and will last me for years unlike the stethoscope I used during PA school. 

Medelita is having a Black Friday sale offering 30% off this stethoscope as well as other products, like the Iconic Scrub Jacket I’m wearing here! All of Medelita's products are made from the highest quality material and are built to withstand the wear-and-tear  of medicine. This amazing company run by lady boss Lara Francisco, a PA, is all about supporting women in medicine and furthering careers in medicine. What's better than getting the medicine attire and accessories you deserve all while knowing your money is going to an incredible company? For the PA student or PA in your life, I highly recommend this stethoscope! Click here to shop now!

    I am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world had crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could live a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from church to church but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could sever, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure for Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua herbal treatment (A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well. He gave me some steps to follow and I meticulously carried out all his instructions. Last month, to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that negative,Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Desease…Cancer,Hiv,Herpes,Shingles, Hepatitis B,Liver Inflammatory,Diabetes,Fibroid,Parkinson's,Alzheimer’s disease,You can free yourself of this Herpes virus by consulting this great African Herbal Doctor via this email: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com.

Guest Post: 5 Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting PA School

5 Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting PA School  Hi everyone! I'm super excited to be able to share a guest post written by Savanna Perry from The PA Platform! : Hey guys!  I’m really excited that I’m able to share some tips with you about starting PA school.  After the excitement of gaining acceptance, and the realization that you’re actually going to become a physician assistant starts to fade away, the nervousness about what to expect sets in.  If you talk to any current PA student or PA, you’ll likely hear how difficult and all-consuming school is.  I’m here to tell you that it can also be fun, and provide some advice that I wish I had before I started my program.  1. Start studying for PANCE from day 1 The ultimate end goal of PA school is to pass the boards, which is called the PANCE.  I didn’t really start thinking about this until the third semester, but I wish I had used my PANCE study books from the beginning of didactic yea...

Personal Statement

If you're anything like me (writing is not a strength), this may be a harder task for you, but fear not! If I can do it you can too! CASPA opens in just 12 days! If you're applying this cycle and hoping to submit early, it's crucial that you start your statement now. I'm going to be honest, a lot of PA applicants look good on paper. It's hard for the admissions committee to differentiate between each applicant, but your personal statement is the one thing that you can use to bring your application to life and talk about all the unique qualities that you have! As I've said in many posts before, the book "How to get into PA school" by Andrew J Rodican was super, super helpful to me when writing my personal statement. Highly recommended 10/10. Make a list of things you want the admissions committee to know about you : Whether it's traits or accomplishments, this gives you a good starting point and something to start writing around. For me, I kne...

CASPA Survival Guide

Hi pals, with CASPA opening up within the next month, I thought some of you might find this blogspot helpful! I had trouble navigating through the application process so I can relate to your stress! I remember meticuously tweaking my personal statement every day and impatiently wondering if I would ever get an interview invite. Looking back, I can definitely say all the stress and time was worth it! To learn about what you can do early before CASPA opens, check out my other post  here ! I also recommend checking out CASPA's FAQ which I've linked on my main blog page! CASPA opens on April 27th this year! The first thing to do would be to create a profile with your email. When I first tried to open CASPA on Safari, it didn't work for me so if you run into this problem I recommend trying Google Chrome! As you guys probably already know, I'm a big supporter of submitting your app as early as possible since most schools operate on roling admissions! This gives you a bett...
