PostGrad Premed

In last year of premed and awaiting acceptance for 2019. My purpose on Twitter is to share laughs and fascinating medical facts

@realDonaldTrump @FLOTUS @realDonaldTrump Mr. President, it's unnecessary and redundant to add "Navy Ship" before "USS." We know it's a Navy ship by the abbreviation 🙄😆

Great tweet about a #rarecancer. If I'm lucky enough to become a #surgeon, I want to specialize in #bone and #softtissuetumors. #futuredr #postgrad #premed #medschool #oncology

[Mayo Clinic @MayoClinic]

#Sarcomas are cancers of the bone and connective tissue. Sarcomas are rare, more common in children and often misdiagnosed. Sarcomas also are treatable and survivable. Learn more about sarcomas in this informative infographic. https://t.co/0TeleGYLiJ

Couldn't agree more with @HannahBlencowe on #stillbirth. Well said. #Parents today are much more open about this and #pregnancyloss. It's a topic #obstetricians need to study and better understand. #loss #pregnancy #babies #obgyn

[Hannah Blencowe @HannahBlencowe]

#FIGO2018 11,000. Strong many excellent sessions incl #pretermbirth. But NO SESSIONS on #stillbirth. @FIGO if you are to be the global voice of women how can you remain silent on this key #maternalhealth issue? Let's work together to #endstillbirth

[PostGrad Premed @almost_adoctor]

My advice, take it for what it's worth, is that, if you are "ready" to apply to #medschool, and all your prereqs and the #MCAT are essentially done, and have a great profile, then apply! The answer is no from every school if you don't! #premed #futuredoctor #nontrad #postgrad

[OldPreMeds @OldPreMeds]

Our poster today is worried that she isn't doing enough shadowing or volunteering to apply next cycle and is wondering if she should take a gap year to fix it. #premed #medschool #nontrad https://t.co/0jFqMp9svc

[PostGrad Premed @almost_adoctor]

Treat #medschool prereqs like a job; because they are really. If you devote 100% of yourself into that coursework, it'll help get you to your dreams and make you a better #futuredoctor. Never give up! #Mondaymotivation #medicalschool #mcat #premed #postbacc #postgrad #nontrad

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month. Reach out to someone you know who has faced the tragedy of losing a child. It matters to them that their child is not forgotten. @… https://t.co/61J81CQ3FS

Remembering Violet. Miscarriage at 13 weeks.

Today is infant and pregnancy loss day.

So much love to all the other mums and dads with empty arms and footprints on their hearts.

[Stillbirth CRE @CREStillbirth]

#StillbirthCRE investigators have written a new article in @ConversationEDU on helping parents cope with #stillbirth https://t.co/rGDZoNHmyJ

#Autism and #psychology researchers should investigate the causes of emotional and social difficulties in siblings of #autistic #children. They're social learners so I wouldn't be surprised if the answer stems from mirroring what they experience

[Mount Sinai Health System @MountSinaiNYC]

New findings suggest that siblings of #autistic children would benefit from early behavioral treatments. Dr. Paige M. Siper shares more via @spectrum: https://t.co/YZR1kp1jSn

There are many benefits of eating a high-fiber diet. Here are some easy ideas for adding #fiber to your meals. https://t.co/RHaTs0roYi

#Stretches before crawling into #bed can help you #unwind and #relax for good night's #sleep. #Stretching is also good for general #health.

[PostGrad Premed @almost_adoctor]

Would love to see more on this topic of #surgeon-#anesthesiologist dynamics and how it crucially affects patient safety. Lots of other industries analyze behaviors similarly. Thankful for @JAmCollSurg for publishing this article. #Surgery #Anesthesiology #Medicine

Curiously, women/moms are not what the authors write about in this letter; they write about couples residency matching and families. Is @AcadMedJournal suggesting men *haven't* cared about the same family matters all these years? #EqualityinMedicine #DadsMatterToo

[Academic Medicine @AcadMedJournal]

As more women and couples enter medicine, the #MedEd community must consider the effect of #residency training on families. Check out this revealing letter to the editor: https://t.co/JDmtP7jNQ6. #WomenInMedicine #MedicalMarriage

Sadly, nowhere in this article is the #Navy or @NavyMedicine. Looking forward to a day when #EnrouteCare #ERC means that Navy #HospitalCorpsmen #HM will be #paramedics and better equipped for #traumamedicine

[AAMC @AAMCtoday]

Military medical personnel are preparing to treat combat injuries through training at trauma centers at teaching hospitals. How are these programs improving their skills? https://t.co/JthcJx1S9F

@TheDocFrancois @Surgeon_General Dr. Chiao, I shadowed a few #orthopedic knee procedures (PVNS and meniscus repairs) where #Toradol was used in lieu of narcotics post-op

[PostGrad Premed @almost_adoctor]

It's been Forever since I tweeted, but I'm still in the #premed game. Finished all the prereqs, #MCAT, applications, and secondaries. I have one interview invite already!

[PostGrad Premed @almost_adoctor]

I was just reading about these Forward Surgical Teams in @Atul_Gawande 's book Better. Now that they're being upgraded to FRSTs, I'm curious how morbidity and mortality in #combat will be affected. #medicine #combatmedicine #futuredr #ArmyMedicine #traumamedicine https://t.co/xNFwUMwAmN
