No,
Speaker 1
I, first of all, thank you for the opportunity. I really appreciate it. And I hope your listeners find it interesting and motivating to learn more. I always say treat your patient, not the numbers. As I said beforehand, I said, you know, maybe potassium is the one place you really do have to think about the number but we're still treating patients. And if we remember that, I think that'll tend to point us in the right direction. Awesome.
Speaker 2
Is there anything you'd like plug as far as anything we should go to, anything our listeners should think about anything along those lines?
Speaker 1
I'd say that I'm not big on plugs. Nefrology is great. Call me. Perfect.
Speaker 2
Go nephrology. So thank you so, so much for joining us. Thank you so much for walking through hyperkalemia in multiple different fashions, whether it be the acute setting, with a chronic setting. And listeners, please definitely consider pediatric nephrology as your specialty of choice. And we'll talk to you next time. Thanks again.

Facebook. I've been Sam Mazer. I've been Angela Lai-Zang. And this has been Chris the Choo Manchu. Thank you and good night. And now the bonus everyone's been waiting for an AI written poem about hyperclimia. Beneath the moon's cold gaze within night's silent veil, lies a tale of dread that makes the stoutest heart quail. A whisper of doom in the veins of youth does creep. Hyperclimia's shadow in potassiums keep. Too high, the doctors cry in hushed and hurried tones. As potassiums rise brings forth the children's moans. With urgency they gather in the lamplight's ghostly glow to banish this grim spectre that beneath the flesh does grow. Calcium, like a knight, rise forth in gleaming might to stabilize the heart to lead them through the night. Insulin, a mage with glucose at its side, urges cells to open for potassium to hide. Amidst those, these arcane arts, the diuretics flow, a river to expel to make the danger go. And should these measures falter, the dialysis machine stands ready in the shadows to cleanse the blood unseen. Oh somber is the night and heavy is the toll, but steadfast is the vigil to mend the ailing soul. And thus the battle rages, and he's posed watchful eyes till dawn breaks over the ward and clear the young skies. It was Edgar Allen Poe was in the front. There you guys go. Wow, a major
Speaker 4
round of applause for that. I'm quite moved.
Speaker 3
Yeah, that was pretty impressive, actually. All right, guys, have a good one.
