99% of the time, your doctors only get feedback when people are unhappy.
Did you have a good experience?
Send an email. Write a letter. Write a positive review.
You have no idea how much it will mean to them.

@Caulimovirus Hey doc, don't waste time with the pain meds. Cut this shit open and screw my bones together.

@aaronernst @MarkLevineNYC Other countries used widespread testing early to quarantine individuals and mitigate spread early. We are far too late for that. Testing does not change our management when everyone is already locked down.

@LizzieluGreen @JuncturaTheorum Usually it is the dumb stuff

@LizzieluGreen @JuncturaTheorum Depending on the appearance of the fracture I'd probably offer a splint for comfort. Likely an ace wrap has no benefit, but also there's really no need for any big intervention here. Zero immediate treatment except for weight bearing as tolerated and pain control.

[Mike Kaiserian @MikeKaiserian]

@LizzieluGreen @JuncturaTheorum I can't imagine that, unless there was neurovascular injury or an open fracture, that an orthopedist would come to the ED to see a fibula fracture.
Very uncommon to have much done for isolated fibula fractures, in my understanding.

[Mike Kaiserian @MikeKaiserian]

@LizzieluGreen @JuncturaTheorum What was your fracture?

[Mike Kaiserian @MikeKaiserian]

You eat so much cheese, how are you not always constipated?
Oh, I'm just a regular guy.

@sassistheword The 10 minutes of silent biking home was fantastic each day of my residency.

I accidentally just switched my Twitter to light mode for a second and threw up a little in my mouth.

@RyanMarino @drmarkhyman If you ask for confirmation on a diagnosis and are told "Yeah, pretty much" you should find a new doctor.

@jmugele Bet there was some pumpkin in there too

I let parents dress their babies and toddlers after my physical exam because "I don't have any of these at home."
They're going to redo it anyway, let's cut out the middle man.

I still pull out my three white beard hairs every few weeks.

Not today, father time. Not today.

The thing that you want to do the least? Do it first.

@AmberTussle @anonymous__MD @theblondeMD @traependergrast @RyanMarino @ariesgodmother @PettyHomoMD I wear my stethoscope like this every day, but with significantly less douchebaggery.

@nataliemwall The one in the middle seat is always the poor one.
