@keyofnight Because hospital food is awesome. Both in Argentina and the USA I have never had a bad meal. Maybe I'm lucky. I even discovered new foods that I ended up cooking myself later thanks to the hospitals. I would even go to work earlier to have their amazing breakfast.

@Verma_Shikha19 Most papers that I published got rejected at first (some about 4 or 5 times), but we ended up publishing everything eventually.

@mcsassymd I was just looking this up today. I even found a review article in Pubmed about complications following neck adjustments. Of course all chiropractors defend themselves: "but we have the lowest malpractice insurance rates!"

[Sabrina F Merino, MD @SfMerino]

@MatthewWynia @statnews The concept is interesting, as it highlights how as researchers we have a duty to society. Unfortunately, I cannot read the article without subscribing, so I don't know why they failed to publish the results or if the reasons were beyond their control.

A few years ago I came across this video on how doctors arrive to different diagnoses when they assume their patients gender and sexuality vs when they ask. In Spanish and very worthy! https://t.co/a2ZwX9e3lE

@m4betch HAHAHA

@TayoAhmedMD2 That would be nice. Mine is in 14. Let's hope we get some!

[Sabrina F Merino, MD @SfMerino]

@TuftsFMR_CHA Thank you for answering questions. I know that Tufts has a gender affirming clinic. How could I contribute as a resident of your program in LGBTQ care? #asktufmr

@DrBryanLeyva Believed my med student clinical judgement that my mom had an osteoporotic fracture instead of bone metastases and ordered a PET scan, even though her oncologist at another facility and a so called spine specialist disagreed. We were right.

@jasonintrator I didn't even want a Facebook in the first place, I only had to make one because I missed on a medical school exam because they announced a date change through Facebook instead of any official media.

@Inside_TheMatch @nomankhalid171 Doctor Who cosplay!!

@doc_holleyday I think the best way to do it is collectively through messages from associations and through media with a wide reach.

[Sabrina F Merino, MD @SfMerino]

@doc_holleyday I would say yes, it is our duty. The same way we clarify misinformation with individual patients, we should do it at a more broad global scale.

@SJHFMRes I only applied to a few programs, yours is one of them!

[Sabrina F Merino, MD @SfMerino]

@hajareelh @AcademicChatter @PhDVoice Be passionate about what you are teaching, teach with emotion and real love for the subject. Students can feel it and any subject becomes engaging. Make them participate and ask them questions, make the class interactive.

[Sabrina F Merino, MD @SfMerino]

@SJHFMRes I know that now research is required, but does the program encourage resident-led academic scientific productions? (besides case reports). If so, how much freedom to choose the topic, support, and mentorship do we have for said projects?

[Sabrina F Merino, MD @SfMerino]

@Dr_AmerZeidan The best gifts are those that show appreciation and that we are willing to put time and effort. How about a notebook (or a video, blog, ect) where you write fond memories you have with her, pictures of you together, etc.

[Sabrina F Merino, MD @SfMerino]

Does the #Hippocratic oath forbid euthanasia? How was the concept understood in Antiquity? Was it maintained in subsequent medical oaths? We were trying to ellucidate these issues in our paper: https://t.co/ESBO04iKAO #ethics #AcademicTwitter #bioethics
