This site serves as a personal teaching archive—a place to distill complex clinical topics into clear, practical frameworks for trainees and clinicians. Posts are informed by daily clinical experience, journal club discussions, and recurring teaching moments on rounds and in the ICU. Rather than functioning as a comprehensive textbook, the content is intentionally selective, emphasizing how clinicians reason through uncertainty and apply evolving evidence in real-world settings.

Topics commonly explored include:

  • Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine
  • Antibiotics and infectious diseases in the ICU
  • Mechanical ventilation and weaning
  • ARDS, sepsis, and respiratory failure
  • Procedures and point-of-care ultrasound
  • Journal club summaries and clinical synthesis

All content reflects personal clinical reasoning and educational synthesis and is not intended as medical advice.
