Relation between fish oil and the prostate?
Why is iron a Tx for restless leg syndrome?
A guy is put on nitrates and diltiazem and gets sinus bradycardia overnight. Intern wants to lower the diltiazem dose but the attending says not yet. Why?

What is the Weber-Ferguson variant of the lateral rhinotomy incision and what are its indications?
Not necessarily an obscure pimp question, just a ridiculous question to ask an M4 during a tonsillectomy.
Cope's Early Diagnosis of the Acute Abdomen?

... Let's see if each new post can top the last one mwahahaha (evil laugh)
About 11pm at a hotel party at a research conference and I start talking to a gentleman who is a biochemistry professor at a very well-known medical school. His first question for me: "You were at the the metabolism presentation this afternoon, right? Say, what does fructose 2,6-bisphosphate do again?"
More the situation, less the difficulty of the question.

Um, you should know that. That's a life threatening issue.

I actually heard of it off chance during second year when I was interviewing a patient and an ID doc came in for a consult. I don't think it's routinely taught in the preclinical years
Says the ENT guy
i legitimately have never heard of it...and I took 4 weeks of ENT during 3rd year. lol
I guess you have a topic to read about tonight.
Ludwig's is one of the emergent issues that practitioners in all specialties should be aware of so timely intervention can be sought.
Second this. Not taught in MSI-MSII; did not run across on Step I either.
During an ascitic fluid drainage...
"Take one good look at this patient. Then tell me why he has ascites."
I wasn't allowed to ask the patient any questions during this test. I noticed he was jaundiced, icteric, had an extremely protruberant abdomen, and had a prosthetic leg. Without further information, I had to stick to the most commons.
"Doctor, I would assume he was an alcoholic. Alternatively, he may have contracted HCV."
"And the prosthetic leg?"
"Trauma." (not the MCC, my mistake)
"Wrong."
He wanted me to know that he had a prosthetic leg because of diabetes, and therefore, he went into renal failure, needed a kidney transplant, and subsequently developed cirrhosis due to hepatotoxicity of immunosuppressants.
Gee, sure was kicking myself after that one.

Prosthetic leg due to diabetes is fair game in my opinion
Cirrhosis due to hepatotoxicity from immunosuppresants is a bit of a stretch
