@jasonryanmd The USMLE is a gate-keeping measure of test-taking skills. Clinical rotations are infinitely better-suited for evaluating understanding and reasoning. The problem is the system’s real (though flawed) need for standardization. But don’t pretend the USMLE is what it isn’t.
@amalmattu@UMEMresidency@UMEmergencyMed This is absolutely my favorite of your white boards. You taught me this about 18 years ago, and I still use it and re-teach at least a few times a month. #AEIOU#July1
@RodDMartin Disagree. We see this in medicine a lot. It’s like when the in-town family who has seen grandma’s progression thinks she’s not that different than normal, but then the out of town family who hasn’t seen her in a year comes in for Christmas and is like WHAT HAPPENED TO GRANDMA?!
“Wow. Thank you so much! Do you need my t-shirt size, or is this more of a pizza scenario?”

Not a word condemning Islamic Jihad for causing the hospital explosion in Gaza and killing hundreds of Palestinian civilians.
Not a word from the UN.
Not a word from Israel’s usual critics, who rushed to judgement with a blood libel.
Not a word from Hamas (no surprises).
The sudden silence is deafening.
If you think the death of Palestinians is cause for outrage only when Israel is the accused, then you are not pro-Palestinian. You are simply anti-Israel. There is a difference.
This is 21 y/o Amit Mann, a paramedic who went to save lives at Kibbut Beeri. For 6 hours she hid with bodies and wounded. Texted her family that she loves them and doesn’t think she’ll make it. The last words on the phone from Amit were “they’re on me! They shot my legs”. Her body was found with about 100 others. #HeroesofIsrael
@KimIversenShow@yaelbt@greggutfeld@Harvard You’re talking about collateral damages. The intentional targeting of children and other noncombatants is a war crime. Wanna play war? Play war. This isn’t that. This is terror with an ultimate goal of not peace, but genocide.
