2020 has been a year of frustration and mourning. It’s been full of crushing blows to BIPOC communities. From COVID to the loss of important figures... we are tired. But, we show up every day ready to work and put our best foot forward. The resilience is amazing.

Leukemoid reaction (not a leukemia)= response to severe infection; leukocytes >50,000! Differentiate from CML by presence of high alkaline phosphatase, higher number of late neutrophil precursors (metamyelocytes, bands) & lack of absolute basophilia

Sulfonylureas respond to increased blood glucose by increasing endogenous insulin release - this is why, if a pt is hypoglycemic on one of these drugs, giving IV dextrose won't cut it. They need octreotide (~1-2mg/kg/hr) & admission!
