It makes me so sad & angry that people don’t think we are worth saving. You’re looking at 8 combined overdoses in this pic. Surviving and thriving. Harm reduction saves lives.

uworld: the answer is CT contrast induced kidney injury

uworld: we did
me: no you didn't
uworld: <3

I finished my PhD about 2 months ago, and I just want to share that:
*I spent >5 of 6yrs convinced that I was uniquely behind or lost or dumb
*I worked 50+hrs some weeks but 15 others
*Rest and hobbies helped my science

Struggling doesn't mean you don't belong.

I found EKGs got a lot easier to read once I started visualizing leads as pins on a globe

When I took Step 1 (1999), it was a very hard test. Since then 1000s of new drugs/mechanisms have been discovered. All have been added to the test, nothing removed. First Aid for the Boards is now 848 pages up from about 200! When does it stop? No one can know all this stuff.

I knew suicide rates for Black youth have been rising, especially since the pandemic began. But this lecture by Dr. Benton highlighted many other facts I wasn’t aware of. Gonna share some for folks who are interested.

I get it... No one wants to be called at midnight about a patient in the ED.

However...

1. This is part of your job as well as mine.
2. If you're going to be tough on the phone, at least be tough in person when you show in the ED.

Reproductive health decisions should be made between a patient and their doctor. Full stop.

After an interesting week and a half of medical visits and complications (and a rescheduled Step 1, which is ok to do!) I am back in the Twitterverse and ready to share interesting things I’ve learned throughout studying 🥹

Co-authors be like "get rid of this section"

My brother in Christ, you wrote that section in the previous draft

everyone says medical school is “like a marathon, not a sprint” but it feels like a sprinting marathon 99% of the time

Any passing score on Step 1 is an AMAZING accomplishment. That test is ridiculously hard. You studied, you passed, you are another step closer to your dream of being a physician. Bask in your achievement.

Here is my short thread about how to read scientific papers:

Step 1: print papers (double sided)

Step 2: staple the top left corner

Step 3: put them in my carry bag

Step 4: carry them back and forth between work and home for weeks.

I start my dedicated study period for #USMLE #Step1 this week. I want to post a fact each day that I find fascinating! I hope it helps me keep everything in perspective— and reminds me why I’m studying so hard: to keep patients healthy! Let’s start! 👩🏼‍⚕️

If the Cashew Nut sign should make you worry about venous sinus thrombosis, I'd like to introduce the *Pirates Booty Sign*.

For my n=1, it is perfectly sensitive and specific for CVST.
