MUSCLE = 6

@theguyfrom24A @nihar_nayak2 @nihardesai7 “All types of supplemental iron help to increase red blood cell production but vary in cost and amounts of elemental iron.”

Okay I read it, what’s next?

@UWorldMedical I hate that I like this.

@Dreway1111 @AlykaGlor I personally was Married and owned a house. Moving was an option, but not ideal and while there is an MD school in my home town, the DO school is better funded with more resources and I just vibed better with it. I dropped all my II’s after getting accepted — including MD ones

@SamuelShepard19 I’ll be making the trip in 2 weeks

@drtice @EnrichingDOcBX I don’t know when you or your brother did residency, but I feel like inflation here is relevant. $1 in 1960 is equivalent to $10 today, and $4 in 1990 is equivalent to $9 today. I’m sure the cap on resident hours helps, but it doesnt seem that different https://t.co/NuqTEliKTo

Last 48 hrs Ive been hearing all the reasons why universal health care in other countries sucks: high taxes, wait times, lower pay. All due respect to these problems, but we have system designed to make a handful of corporations immense profit by denying medical care to everybody

What's going on here?

@cluleyd @FrontLineExHero @misterchambo Pheochromocytoma’s are incredibly rare. The tumor was preexisting and has many triggers for releasing its adrenergic enzymes including looking at it weird. This case report does not enhance your argument, but is an interesting phenomenon. Thanks for sharing.

The resolution we authored passed the @NationalSOMA house, the @AMAmedstudents house and is now official adopted policy of the @AmerMedicalAssn

I hope you please take note and action.

In June, the @AmerMedicalAssn passed a resolution in support of a single medical licensing exam for MDs and DOs:

(Naturally, the NBOME expressed opposition.)

@JasonHanMD @AspiringCTS H-index > Output number (or some variation of the authors impact score). Regardless, those tell you nothing of your surgical skills, diagnostic prowess, bedside manners, or even your skills as an educator. That’s why holistic review is so important.

An interesting article was written about one of our published papers. Publishing - a predictor of an academic career in ENT? https://t.co/RQ8ZYEqbRo

@VivPaps Oh, also if you struggle with biochem like most med students, pixorize is 🔥. Highly recommend for biochem and Vitamin deficiencies

[Adam Corcoran, DO @Accorco]

@VivPaps Anytime, Good luck!

@VivPaps For MS1’s: focus on understanding your Anatomy/ physiology and pathology well the first time. Supplement it with board prep materials such as B&B/Pathoma/SketchyMedicine while your going through your course material

@MidlevelCare @Thought_md @HalstedMD I don’t think that’s a fair statement since PA’s have always had physician in their title. Some of the oldest PA programs have been calling their graduates Physicians Associates for close to half a century.

@bradjohnsonmed @SparrowUrology Way to go man!
