This should be obvious, but anyone with a newly diagnosed cardiomyopathy (low ejection fraction) should have a cardiac cath. This should be one of the first steps along with other things as well, such as a good history and TSH.

Why are we all so attached to our Stethoscopes?

I recently lost an old stethoscope and found myself a bit sad. Interesting feeling to have about something old and outdated, but none-the-less, I found myself looking feverishly around the hospital for this stethoscope which I had since medical school. I think that might have been it, having it so long, I guess I was attached to it and that is why I felt like I lost something of value. There are better ones out now and most likely I need to update anyway.
We have to learn to let go of thing that we lose. No sense it being sad about something that is lost, I had come to that realization…
I found it the next day and it felt great!
