Disclaimer

Applies to every file in this repository, to its releases, and to copies of its content on collinbgeorge.com.

Not medical advice

This repository is independent educational and scholarly work by a pre-medical student who is not a licensed clinician. Nothing here is:

medical advice
a clinical protocol, guideline, order set, or decision aid
a patient handout

Nothing here should be used to diagnose, treat, dose, or manage any patient. Patients should consult their own licensed clinicians. In an emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number.

Synthetic cases and illustrative numbers

Fictional cases. Every patient, case, vital sign, laboratory value, and outcome in this repository is fictional teaching material. None describes a real person or encounter, and no protected health information is included.
Doses for study only. Drug doses, thresholds, and calculations are included only to show reasoning or to summarize a cited source. They are not validated for any patient or institution, and they may be incomplete, outdated, or wrong. Always use current prescribing information, institutional protocols, and the judgment of the responsible clinician.

Evidence and currency

What the evidence work is. The evidence summaries are narrative syntheses unless a document explicitly states otherwise. They are not systematic reviews, meta-analyses, or peer-reviewed publications.
Citation checks are scoped. Citations were checked to the extent recorded in each repository's audit files; a valid citation does not mean every claim attributed to it has been independently verified.
Dates can lapse. Guidelines change. Each document states the date of its last evidence review.

No affiliation or endorsement

This work is not affiliated with, reviewed by, or endorsed by any university, hospital, health system, employer, professional society, or government agency. Mentions of an organization or guideline do not imply endorsement. No independent clinician review is recorded unless a document says otherwise.

AI assistance
