Why it matters

Drug

| | Real Side Effect | Step Answer | Bro Reality | |---|---|---|---| | Amiodarone | Blue skin, lung damage, thyroid issues | Corneal microdeposits, pulmonary fibrosis | Turns you into a smurf. Also ruins your lungs. Great for arrhythmias, terrible for everything else. | | Metformin | GI upset, B12 deficiency | Lactic acidosis (rare, but high yield) | You will poop your pants during rounds. Start low, go slow. | | Propofol | Hypotension, apnea | Milk of amnesia – triglycerides | Great for sedation. Also great for gaining 10 lbs of IV fat. | | Prednisone | Moon face, buffalo hump | Osteoporosis, hyperglycemia | You get strong (but weak bones), hungry (but fat face), and angry (roid rage lite). |

Final Verdict

Condition

| | Classic Buzzword | Step 1 Trick | Bro Translation | |---|---|---|---| | SLE | Malar rash, Libman-Sacks | ANA + anti-dsDNA = renal. Anti-Smith = not renal. | Face rash + protein in pee = bad juju. | | Sarcoidosis | ACE, non-caseating granulomas | Hypercalcemia (macrophages make 1,25-OH D) | Lungs + eyes + bells palsy = your ACE is high, bro. | | Brugada | Coved ST elevation V1-V3 | Looks like MI but no enzymes. Worse at night. | ECG looks like a shark fin. No troponin? No cath lab. | | McBurney's | Rebound tenderness at 2/3 from ASIS to umbilicus | Psoas sign (pain on R leg raise) = retrocecal appendix | Push on the right hip. They scream? Cut it out. |
