Pts. with Addison's disease continue to have #adrenal crises that require admission even though stress dosing can prevent them. Fewer than 1/3 of such patients admitted to New South Wales hospitals had attempted stress dosing. #JES @TheEndoSociety ow.ly/1SKT50witvk

A must for those with Addison’sDisease @AddisonsUK @Addisons_and_AI
Setting up the emergency medical features on your phone could save your life. It allows ambulance staff to see info like allergies, medical conditions and who to contact in case of an emergency. Your device's documentation should tell you how to set it up.

Love the quote....& article of course, still using for #Medschool talk. "The grudge" persists even on recent, lower replacement GC dose, AI awareness much needed! Great context in the new NEJM #adrenalcrisis @OHSUBrain @EndoMedia @Pituitary_org #endotwitter @Addisons_and_AI
