I was very honored to have received the AAN Medical Student Prize for Excellence at our awards ceremony this past week. I want to wish a very special thank you to my mentors and the residents who nominated me for this award. I promise to put this new reflex hammer to good use!

Did my first LP today on a real patient and got it on the first try. I feel accomplished 🤩 these DO hands are real great at palpating spinous processes my friends 😉

11.7 Tesla Brain MRI 🧠 !

First scans from the world's most powerful MRI scanner! 🔥

It costs around 75 million euros for the 11.7 Tesla MRI machine! 😮 😲

Why am I so bad at choosing which Chick-fil-A line is going to be faster?

[Andrew Micieli @MicieliA_MD]

The “confused”patient in the ED could be:

- aphasic
- inattentive
- disoriented
- amnestic
- dysarthric
- apraxic
- in pain
- language barrier

With a broad ddx based on the specific symptomatology/exam.

Avoid using the word confusion (and grip strength😋) in the ED/ward

Our #Uganda partnership has its first high profile paper! Dr. Emily Ciccone led a study that used a protein measurement to guide antibiotic treatment for children with fever & respiratory symptoms, which decreased unnecessary #antibiotic use by 25%!

Are we discussing different headache locations or rating how neurology residency is going so far? If anyone’s curious I’m at a 4 😅

[Kristen Adams, DO @DrKristenAdams]

My first shift in the ED and the entire hospital system’s Epic crashes for 5+ hrs bc of an HVAC failure at our data center. To say I could have cried at the end of my shift is an understatement. It is scary to think how vital technology is in today’s healthcare.

It’s VSLO season for #Match2025 I’m so psyched for y’all!

There’s a million threads about sub-I advice already, but I wanted to give my two cents as someone who completed 6 sub-Is and matched somewhere I rotated at. 🧵

Worked the international High Point Furniture Market this past week because #brokeMS4 but I have to say I learned a lot about Trade and Interior design. Maybe one day my side hustle will be my own interior design firm 🤩

I have always held in my sneezes. Guess I won’t be doing that anymore 😅

[Oren Gottfried, MD @OGdukeneurosurg]

Patient held in a sneeze and this happened. Patient had had no prior surgery or trauma. Explain?
