2025 Managing Medical and Surgical Error: an emotional guide
Medical errors are common and often lead to feelings of self-doubt, helplessness, and guilt. Society thinks of physicians as healers, and physicians who see their role as offering a cure will always feel as if they haven’t done enough. This article discusses five steps in the management of medical and surgical error: (1) care for the patient and family, (2) report to appropriate sources, (3) review the incident, (4) manage legal issues, and (5) engage in self-care. There is a focus on managing grief, with tips for coping.

2025 Clinician Corner - Respiratory failure in a patient with exhaled nitric oxide > 300 ppb and subsequent response to dupilmab
Multiple biologic agents are approved for the treatment of severe persistent asthma not controlled by inhaled corticosteroid/beta-agonist therapy. Appropriate phenotyping can aid in picking the right biologic for the right patient. Here is a unique case of a patient with severe asthma and respiratory arrest, with fraction of exhaled nitric oxide >300 ppb whose asthma became completely controlled with dupilumab.

2025 Clinician Corner - Vitamin B12-induced acneiform eruption
Cutaneous acneiform eruptions are a side effect of many medications, including vitamin B12 therapy. However, reports of vitamin B12–induced acne are rare. We present a 67-year-old woman with a new diagnosis of pernicious anemia who developed a sudden acneiform eruption on the face after treatment with high-dose vitamin B12. Other medications that have been implicated in drug-induced acne include but are not limited to steroids, antibiotics, immunosuppressants, biologics, and vitamin B1 and B6. The pathogenesis is likely due to a transcriptome change in Propionibacterum acnes, the organism responsible for acne vulgaris. Cessation of the offending agent leads to a regression in symptoms.
