@Thebestfigen This needs to be taken down, this device is not safe for infant use. Babies should be placed on their back when sleeping to avoid suffocation and reduce the risk of SIDS.
@LauraLoomer Substitute Tylenol for the ice cream and autism/adhd for drowning incidents in this figure. Observational studies reveal correlation only; we only can say with certainty these events occur together but one causing the other is very different indeed. We have not yet found the sun
@westerosies People who haven’t watched game of thrones will never understand what failing to properly finish this storyline by having both the battle of winterfell and the killing the night king in one episode, despite an undead dragon and 8 seasons of build-up, did to us 8 years ago today
@SeeFisch Hi @SeeFisch Dr. Fischer I wanted to follow up on this - I think this may be where my mentor got the original statistic. After some digging I think the imbalance varies state to state. In Texas, we do not have enough residency spots to accommodate graduating seniors. From TX DHHS
@seanluomdphd@dianejmcrae@DGlaucomflecken Not knowing anyone personally is anecdotal, per a Gallup and Lumina poll the cost of attendance is a major determinant from enrollment for 56% of ppl. It’s reasonable to estimate trends continue in medical education, minus ppl w/ loans willing to risk debt (but shouldn’t have to)
@seanluomdphd@dianejmcrae@DGlaucomflecken Well No because people understand the positive impact education has on future opportunity, and will choose this sometimes at great personal cost - like crippling debt - in order to secure that opportunity for themselves.
@Amin_kirt@SeeFisch Yes that is true but even if our grads are aiming high shouldn’t the system have enough training capacity for those who are willing to serve in other needed fields if they didn’t get their first choice? SOAP is highly competitive &not guaranteed; these questions are worth asking.
@JohnWebbMD@SeeFisch Yes sir, I have—I’ve learned that it’s a deeply personal and painful experience, no matter the reason and is situationally specific. A mentor in 2022 told me about a GME bottleneck, but I didn’t verify. Original point was there are so many qualified docs here who can help serve.
@MdMgdaniel@SeeFisch@POTUS@SecRubio This was my point exactly. We do have a doctor shortage in our country and we need to address it. We have so many here who are qualified to serve but do not get the opportunity.
@SeeFisch Ps I really enjoy your medquest lectures; you have taught me more during training than many I have worked with in person. I’ll always be grateful for your teaching style and how you support students! I just think we as a field can do better for our grads. Thanks for all you do!
@JohnWebbMD@SeeFisch@POTUS@SecRubio NRMP 2025 ~ 1,829 US MD/DO did not Match into any specialty. Every cycle, thousands of US grads don’t match due to the fact that there are fewer residency spots than graduate docs. Im glad J1 was addressed also. US has dire need for more doctors not less; we must train them all.
@JohnWebbMD@SeeFisch@POTUS@SecRubio The J1 visa situation needs to be fixed but also there are lots of qualified American grads who can help bridge this gap.
