Attending physicians -

When applying for your latest job, when did you find out how much you would get laid?

Before or during the interview?

[LaVerne Thompson @BabyGotPlaque]

@jamessunmd @Bingmer @MHepatobiliary @UHSurgeryRes So y’all deadass left me for fellowship? Abandoned me? For real for real??

Needed to see this after just doing a resuscitative thoracotomy on yet another gunshot victim. It’s good to remember the highs as you deal with the lows.

[Ron Barbosa MD FACS @rbarbosa91]

Got a letter from a poly-trauma patient from 14 years ago in whom I did a laparotomy.

It describes the childrens' graduations, marriages, and new grandchildren that have taken place since the injury, along with other aspects of life.

Reminds you that this work does matter. 😀

A beautiful thread as we look to the start of our next academic year 😌❤️

[Jennifer Hartwell, MD FACS @traumamom4]

Medical interns will be starting their new careers this week. I think it's important for the public to know a few things about our new colleagues:
1) In teaching hospitals, we work as a team; interns ARE physicians who learn by watching, then doing, with graduated autonomy.

@ProleneQueen Omg where did you get those! 😍

[LaVerne Thompson @BabyGotPlaque]

Pop quiz - is this the symbiote that changed Spider-Man into Venom or is it the most satisfying thrombectomy you’ve ever seen? What say you #MedTwitter
