Overheard in the ED:

Patient: If I get admitted and I need open heart surgery will they take them (breast implants) out?

Nurse: I don’t think so but, let me ask your doctor.

Reader: I was the doctor.

Starting to lean into this “adult homeowner” stage of life and I’m sitting here i. the Home Depot parking lot feeling like a complete fraud.

Everyone has a huge truck and I’m loading up on all kinds of tools, wood, or w/e.

Meanwhile I’m googling best charcoal for a grill lol

[Dr. Mac MD, MBA @Dr_mac2]

When I was in business school we used to have mandatory happy hours/dinners where things like etiquette were discussed.

Also, fashion, such as removing the temp stitching from a suit jacket.

As mentioned in the comments, this really should be a course taught in universities.

Summer interns have landed in nyc

(I did help him out after taking this)

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

Major breakthrough in pancreatic cancer!

Take a guess

Is it

A) Worm pills

B) Novel treatment targeting a known gene in the cancer

[TheLiverDoc™ @theliverdoc]

This is the silent part that people wouldn't know.

Behind closed doors inside a medical conference, a large group of clinicians and researchers giving a standing ovation to another group of clinicians and researchers who found a way to increase survival in patients suffering from one of the, if not the, worst cancer in humans.

Metastatic pancreatic cancer.

They'll do this and then be on their way to see their patients the next day as if nothing happened.

And then work on something new to better what they did in this room.

That is how medical science works.
Value it and value its practitioners.

[Dr. Mac MD, MBA @Dr_mac2]

Not sure what was more ironic about it all.

Typing the words “breast implants” and “coronary artery bypass graft” into the search prompt on UpToDate.

Or

The fact that this person didn’t need open heart surgery to begin with so why the question?

Anyways the answer is no lol

@SurgeryBro I’m curious now lol

[Robert F. Smith @RFS_Vista]

Today, we commemorate the Tulsa Race Massacre and the destruction of the Greenwood District, or Black Wall Street. This is personal to me: my ancestors left Oklahoma for Denver after the attacks. Remembering our history matters, and so does building a better future from it.

[Dr. Mac MD, MBA @Dr_mac2]

I wouldn’t be surprised.

Had a patient once actively in 4 point restraints AND received 2 rounds of haldol/versed.

Still awake, still screaming, and managed to flip the ED bed on its side while restrained.

Also bit a tech but that a different story.

[Ed Latimore @EdLatimore]

I'm convinced PCP was the super soldier serum gone wrong.

[Dr. Mac MD, MBA @Dr_mac2]

@SurgeryBro It’s a right of passage for an anon to message you.

+1 if their blue check

+2 if they ask for money or medical advice.

[Dr. Mac MD, MBA @Dr_mac2]

Would I be wrong to ask him to turn it off?

Also to never play this ever again.

[Dr. Mac MD, MBA @Dr_mac2]

Idk what’s going on but my last few Lyft drivers have been on some weird hyper religious hyper.

I don’t knock your religion BUT blasting your Christian spoken word mixtape for the entire duration of my 27 min ride is absolutely insane.

[Dr. Mac MD, MBA @Dr_mac2]

@AskLyft If you are pranking me just tell me now please

The internet used to be full of websites; there were millions of them and you could browse for hours and come away smarter rather than dumber. Now there are four sites and they've made half the population illiterate. We've destroyed a wonderful thing, and it has destroyed us.

[Dr. Mac MD, MBA @Dr_mac2]

Idk how to describe it but, a lot of lessons I’ve learned about emergency medicine, I learned while’s learning how to do US IV.

Especially one under pressure.

[Wholesome Side of 𝕏 @itsme_urstruly]

I can't properly describe to anyone under the age of 30 just how cool the Internet was before Amazon, Google, Meta, and Apple turned it all into a walled garden of garbage and commerce.

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

i genuinely hate how internet culture has become so normalized and widespread. i do not want a white house deputy chief of staff saying "it's white boy november" or a secretary of state tweeting that he's "locked in for this banger." grow up.

The last survivor from the famous A Great Day in Harlem picture 🙏🏾

[Dr. Mac MD, MBA @Dr_mac2]

@TheBrancaShow Look, I get that your engagement farming.

Fine, make your money on @elonmusk X but, frankly, you have no idea what your talking about.

I’ve watched my colleagues debunk you consistently for the past week or so and yet you persist in our mentions seeking relevancy.

Pathetic
