#MRpearls can happen any time of day in @VCU_IMRes! For instance, every Friday we have a case-based diagnostic reasoning afternoon report where interns can come and think aloud and learn among peers at both @VCUHealth and @RichmondVAMC sites! #FutureMedRes @InternalMed_Res

#MRPearls from today's intern report (cont'd). The ddx for pleural effusions is very broad - start with Light's criteria (or modified Light's criteria) which can help rule IN an exudative effusion but can't rule OUT a transudative effusion. @VCU_IMRes
