Francine @fnetter.md daughter of Frank Netter, was kind enough to send me a signed copy of her book, Medicine’s Michelangelo, The Life & Art of Frank Netter, MD. Like many medical illustrators, I feel indebted to Dr. Netter; he showed the world the power of using art to teach medicine, and is a big reason my colleagues and I get to enjoy success as modern day medical illustrators. Netter’s Clinical Neurology has greatly inspired the clinical and surgical illustrations in Dr. Michael Lawton’s upcoming Seven Cavernomas series, illustrated by me and Kristen Larson Keil @larsonkl If you’d like to pick up a copy of Francine’s book, visit www.fnettermd.com #medicalartist #medicalillustrator #neurosciences #artmedia #brainscience #medicinegalleries #neuroplasticity #medicalassistant #neurosurgeryresidents #medicalmedium #sciencerules #medicalstudent #traditionalpaint (at Phoenix, Arizona)

#throwbackthursdays Incredible carbon dust illustrations from Leon Schlossberg. Leon had a long and distinguished career at Johns Hopkins, training under the father of modern medical illustration himself, Max Brödel.

20.10.21 | Hi guys, I have been away for a long period of time. With the pandemic, I decided to take a break from my social networks, but now I’m back with news! I dropped out of law school to do medical school! Medicine has always been my passion and I want to chase my dream! For now, I am still doing the selection processes to enter the universities, here in Brazil everyone who leaves high school must do these selection processes that we call “vestibular”. The exam to enter a medical university is usually very difficult and competitive, so I will show you my study routine here!
Note: I don’t use instagram anymore, which means I’ll be much more active on tumblr and sorry for bad english haha
I’m currently answering questions. I thought I’d let you guys know what I’m planning to do for the blog:
- full update: where i’ve been and how it’s been going
- about med school: “week in the life of”
- book review: Emotional Agility by Susan David
- tips: studying in the clerkship phase of med school, maybe include references for each rotation
Would you guys be interested in that? Also, leave me suggestions to what you would like to see more of on the blog. I’d love to hear your thoughts :)
What Is Multiple Myeloma?
Cancer starts when cells begin to grow out of control. Cells in nearly any part of the body can become cancer, and can spread to other areas.
Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells. Normal plasma cells are found in the bone marrow and are an important part of the immune system. The immune system is made up of several types of cells that work together to fight infections and other diseases. Lymphocytes (lymph cells) are one of the main types of white blood cells in the immune system and include T cells and B cells. Lymphocytes are in many areas of the body, such as lymph nodes, the bone marrow, the intestines, and the bloodstream.
When B cells respond to an infection, they mature and change into plasma cells. Plasma cells make the antibodies (also called immunoglobulins) that help the body attack and kill germs. Plasma cells, are found mainly in the bone marrow. Bone marrow is the soft tissue inside bones. In addition to plasma cells, normal bone marrow is also the home for other blood cells such as red cells, white cells, and platelets.
In general, when plasma cells become cancerous and grow out of control, this is called multiple myeloma. The plasma cells make an abnormal protein (antibody) known by several different names, including monoclonal immunoglobulin, monoclonal protein (M-protein), M-spike, or paraprotein.
Bacteria may Demonstrate any of Five General Mechanisms of Antibiotic Resistance:
1. Lack of entry; Decreased cell permeability.
2. Greater exit; Active efflux.
3. Enzymatic inactivation of the antibiotic.
4. Altered target; Modification of drug receptor site.
5. Synthesis of resistant metabolic pathway.
More than HIV, more than malaria. The death toll worldwide from bacterial antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in 2019 exceeded 1.2 million people, according to a new study.
In terms of preventable deaths, 1.27 million people could have been saved if drug-resistant infections were replaced with infections susceptible to current antibiotics. Furthermore, 4.95 million fewer people would have died if drug-resistant infections were replaced by no infections, researchers estimated.

my desk seems so organized lately all because I haven’t stayed in there for a long time. I’ve been sick for a week now and I can’t drag myself to work and study for our exam : (
I just wish i feel better tomorrow so I can catch up with my readings for Pedia
Happy New Year!
A bit late to greet you all a happy new year. Just an update from me since I haven’t posted in a while…
I dropped two subjects last semester due to my lack of foundation in those two subjects as some of the topics I missed when I got sick with COVID really affected my grades so much that I couldn’t catch up with the load of topics I had to study.
It was a difficult decision to make knowing that I’ll graduate later than my friends and my peers. I know that I had to do it for my future patients. I don’t want to face my patients knowing that I don’t have the knowledge and clinical skills needed to treat them. Despite having to drop 2 subjects, I performed really well with the rest of my courses and Im glad I did what I had to do
Sometimes it’s also important to know when to stop. Stopping at one point does not mean you’re giving up. It only means you’re resting and preparing yourself for another journey to you own success.
(Lol idk what im saying but you kinda get the point, right?)
At my hospital, physicians MUST make their medical notes accessible to our patients. Problem is, some of the notes are incomprehensible to even to other physicians. I wonder what patients will make of them. (FYI for those not in medicine, S.O.B. in medicine = ”Short/Shortness of Breath”)
