My beliefs and opinions; though not sacrosanct yet unfettered by general consensus or majority rule.

[Bowen University @bowenuniversity]

We have something called "intercalated programme" for medical students.
In their first 4 years, they take an option of anatomy, biochemistry, or physiology and graduate with that https://t.co/Knsw4dr3k7. before proceeding to clinicals.

The prayer, hope, and joy, is for everyone to make it, but God forbit, if someone fails out, all those years in school won't be wasted.

[RCCG PUBLIC RELATIONS @RCCG_PR]

The lies have gone on long enough. It stops now!!!

For far too long, Pastor E.A. Adeboye and The Redeemed Christian Church of God have been subjected to false narratives, deliberate misrepresentations, and misleading commentaries driven by personal interests and agenda setting.

Dr. Iman Abuzeid earned a medical degree at 24, skipped residency and spent the next decade at McKinsey, Wharton and Bay Area healthcare startups — learning the business of healthcare from every angle.

In 2017, she co-founded Incredible Health after spotting a contradiction: hospitals were chronically understaffed while qualified nurses were applying to ten jobs and never hearing back. The system hadn't meaningfully changed in over 20 years.

Her fix was a structural one: flip the model so employers apply to nurses, not the other way around. Nurses create a profile, set their preferences and choose which interviews to accept.

The platform launched in the Bay Area, stayed in California for two years to build the product right, then expanded nationally. Today it serves 1.5 million nurses — about one in two in the U.S. — and roughly 1,500 hospitals and facilities. In 2022, Incredible Health reached a $1.65 billion valuation.

Two AI agents launched in 2025 are already saving hospital HR teams one to two months of work each.

The lesson: the best solutions don't just fix a problem — they challenge the assumption that it had to work that way in the first place.

There are some phrases we use in medicine with unnecessary words. Every once in a while you’ll come across an attending who hates these so beware. I used to get my notes carved up by one attending in particular:

“…no prior history” = no history
“multiple lesions” = lesions
“not uncommon” = common

[Jason Ryan @jasonryanmd]

I have deep respect for the Krebs cycle, the Golgi apparatus and the structure of tRNA but honestly these things belong more on a college biochem or cell bio test than on Step exams to determine whether to license a doctor to practice medicine in the US. I’d much rather have future physicians memorizing the five major social determinants of health or the nutrition content of common foods.

[UWorld Medical @UWorldMedical]

I'm either studying, about to study, coming back from studying, getting prepped to study, about to sleep after studying, OR thinking about not wanting to study.

[Keith Siau @drkeithsiau]

Recently, I have spent less time online as X has become a cesspit.

Unauthorised image manipulation by grok.

AI generated videos and images jamming our timelines.

Comments and debates by AI rather than personal human opinions.

Engagement prioritised over education.

MedTwitter turning into a medical freak show, with disregard for copyright and patients.

The problem is not with AI, but with human behaviour.

Driven by monetisation, hidden narratives, in a free virtual society without regulation.

For me, this platform will always be Twitter - an intellectual platform centred on networking, personal opinion and free medical education.

As users, we control our timelines - prioritise the accounts we follow over recommended content, mute keywords (Hey Grok, Musk, etc).

As doctors, we should uphold integrity, morality, and remember our principles. Not have personal judgement clouded by a few bucks.

We have the power to make this better.

[Pelumi @PelumiiMD]

Why are people saying MRI is superior to CT when the picture clearly shows they answer different questions?

MRI is superior for soft tissue, while CT is superior for BONE, acute bleeding, and SPEED!

Neither is universally better. The clinical question determines the best scan.

[Jacob Otile, MD @DrOtileUg]

Just FYI

[koni baje (M.D) @theolugbemi]

As Doctors in Nigeria, we need to do better with explaining things to patients and their relatives. A lot of time, we talk over their heads with medical jargon; and they go home confused.

[Dr Leah Ajayi,MD,MRCP(UK),PGcert(Meded),SCE(Acute) @drifeleah]

Just seeing the whole debacle…
The ignorance is astounding…
Anyone who thinks doctors can’t diagnose without scans or labs clearly has no idea what clinical assessment even means.

[Pelumi @PelumiiMD]

Absolutely! Tests are mostly to confirm diagnosis & exclude differentials. Can be 'ignored' if presentation screams the diagnosis so clearly that normal /-ve result is likely to be wrong.

E.g If a patient has RLQ pain, fever, vomiting, a normal US doesn't rule out appendicitis.

[UNDERSTANDING MEDICINE⚕️ @popoolaadaniel]

People are really so ignorant😂🤌🏾 Making a Diagnosis is 75% History and Examination and 25% investigations. If you send me a lab result that doesn't tally with my clinical judgement, I'll pick my clinical judgement above any lab result.

[Nnebedum Henry 👑 @BigWhalze]

I understand why Doctors are raising alarm 🚨. As a radiographer, I’m always addressed a doctor more often when I am not. I can easily take advantage of my patients, especially the desperate ones.

There’s need for boundaries, firm boundaries.

[Pelumi @PelumiiMD]

Well, he is not wrong.

[Dov Kleiman @NFL_DovKleiman]

𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: President Donald Trump wants the NFL to change its name so that soccer is the only sport named football.

"This is football, there is no question about it. We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff."

😬😬😬

[Pelumi @PelumiiMD]

Clearly a lie!

Allergic rxns have OBJECTIVE physiological changes.. e.g hypotension, airway swelling, urticaria.. etc that CAN'T be faked.

You can act distressed, but CAN'T fake the actual clinical rxns. Any medically trained person would recognize the difference within mins.

[Taylor Aligngate @alignedpm]

I had an employee like this once.

She used to bring in food to share with the office.

She thought she was being nice, but really she was shifting the office culture around food.

I wanted to show her how problematic her behavior was, so I faked a deathly allergic reaction.

I had an ambulance carry my body away and prosecutors charge her with manslaughter so she'd never do it again.

Some may say it was harsh, but I thoroughly believe her behavior will have changed by the time she gets out of jail.

[Pelumi @PelumiiMD]

This is one of those situations that’s too nuanced for a right or wrong/hot take.

Type of disease, prognosis, care required, finances, family dynamics, culture, guilt, love etc.. all gets tangled together & varies.

What makes sense for one person may not make sense for another

[Michael Taiwo @AskMichaelTaiwo]

Someone was complaining to me the other day about how his mum’s health is draining their finances and putting a strain on everything from his marriage to his colleagues.

It’s just one health problem after another.

He’s rich but this wahala has tested that richness.

I asked how old his mum is.

95.

As in, in 5 years she will be 100 years old?

Yes.

I just kept silent.

But in my head, I was thinking, “just let the poor woman go.”

Is that a bad thought?

[Pelumi @PelumiiMD]

This is child torture! Everyone involved in this wickedness should be arrested

[UNDERSTANDING MEDICINE⚕️ @popoolaadaniel]

Look at what these traditional medicine people did to one baby that was brought to our facility yesterday 😭😭😭😭. @Fmohnigeria are you seeing this ??? This is how typical Nigerians present, after they've gone to everywhere else.. now if this baby dies they'll blame doctors and nurses for the death of their child.

Say NO to traditional medicine ❌❌❌. Evidence Based Medicine is the corner stone of life.

@olawalesmd @MrMekzy_ @celebritypharm @OGreat6 @aproko_doctor @GoodnessAdeosun @GlamPhysician please guys let's spread the awareness and save our children.

Dr. Nancy Abu-Bonsrah, MD MPH, completed seven-year neurosurgery residency at Johns Hopkins, where she made history as the first African-American female resident in the program in 2017. She is headed to UPMC Williamsport.

Inducted into Delta Omega Alpha and Alpha Omega Alpha.🧠

[U.S. Mission Nigeria @USinNigeria]

Meet Commodore Kelechi Ndukwe, a Nigerian-American making history in the @USNavy!

From commanding the USS Halsey as the first Nigerian-American to lead a guided-missile destroyer to now serving as Commodore of Destroyer Squadron 60 & Task Force 65 in Spain 🇪🇸, his journey is pure inspiration and a true example of #AmericanExcellence! 🇺🇸🇳🇬

[Pelumi @PelumiiMD]

What?!?! Why would a hospital in Nigeria even be requiring USMLE to practice in Nigeria?

[FitMedic @FEMMY466]

5yrs of Residency with USMLE and the pay is 300k?
I don't know what I did in my past life to deserve this country 😭😭😭
