@united I sent a direct message re: flight cancellation issue, haven’t heard back from you guys yet, thanks!

[Gary Chen @GaryChenMD]

@AmericanAir trying to receive a refund for a flight given extenuating circumstances and no response to DMs

@elonmusk why don’t the Tesla model 3s have solar panels ? 👀

Many medical students come from privileged backgrounds, better equipped to handle social distancing.

But we have many learners who live with parents or grandparents, who now have to go home to help them out, whose experiences are significantly different.

@MichaelBBagg I wonder if programs will be extending out more interviews than usual because of the lack of expense.. and I wonder how this will affect IMG applicants who traditionally have a tougher time obtaining interviews

[Gary Chen @GaryChenMD]

With the recommendation that residency interviews be conducted virtually due to the pandemic, I wonder with what means students will be able to gauge “feel” of a program - resident interactions were so critical in my experience

@theblondeMD Congrats!! You’ll be running a marathon before you know it 😉

[Gary Chen @GaryChenMD]

@ChristleNwora @McGovernMed Big smiles for Dr. NWORA!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It still feels pretty surreal to have graduated from medical school today. So many memories have been made and I couldn’t be prouder to be a @McGovernMed alum ✨

The outpouring of support for healthcare workers and essential staff is incredible 😭

[Stanford Health Care @StanfordHealth]

This morning, Stanford Health Care and @StanfordChild #healthcare workers were cheered on by first responders and law enforcement during the change of shift. In return, nurses, doctors and hospital staff thanked first responders for sharing the front line. #StanfordMedTogether

After getting HACEK drilled into our brains for culture negative endocarditis during med school, I think I made an audible gasp when I learned it was Coxiella and Bartonella.

[Gary Chen @GaryChenMD]

@jack_turban That was my exact reaction when I was working on that module 😂

[Gary Chen @GaryChenMD]

It’s ok to NOT be ok. Too often as healthcare professionals are we expected to be “tough” and “show no weakness.” Physicians with and without disabilities, with and without mental illness, have transformed medicine and patient care.

@JustinOlivas_MD @MdGarwood @Paintothal @fluidloading @PulmCrit @emcrit @srrezaie @ABareisMD Hearing of so many cases now of patients not needing oxygen and suddenly requiring intubation. Wonder what pathophys is at play: cytokine storm, endothelial damage?

[Gary Chen @GaryChenMD]

@MichaelBBagg With the uncertainty of testing and the lack of away rotations, I wonder what program leadership will use to assess applicants - this will certainly be an unorthodox cycle

[Gary Chen @GaryChenMD]

I feel for all of the 3rd year med students right now - so much uncertainty surrounding Step 2 CK/CS, ERAS application cycle, and timing of rotations. 🙁

[Gary Chen @GaryChenMD]

Dangerous environmental policy rollbacks are continuing, even amidst the coronavirus. So upsetting. https://t.co/4pECtc2sO7
