@barstoolsports Yeah we still are. I would have four putt for a 9 there.

@mcuban @BrentAWilliams2 You’re spot on. Probably 50% (might be upwards of 75%, I’m speculating) of my residency classmates took jobs that qualified for PSLF purely because they couldn’t afford not to. That’s tens of thousands of doctors who are making career decisions based on their debt, not best fit.

@AlmomaniMD Can’t even count how many times I’ve found something small in retro after a normal first look in forward view. Takes a lot for me not to retro on each screening colon.

@KMonkemuller @EndoCollabcom We piloted these when I was in training. They were almost universally disliked. Picture quality was extremely poor.

@EzraTeitelbaum @ebtapper Where I work, anyone with a lactate above 4 needs empiric antibiotics or the hospitalists are dinged. Hospitalists are having to choose multiple times per day between giving unnecessary antibiotics vs lowering scores their bonuses are tied to.

@JakeMarsh18 @rhoback 81. How is it after the renovation? Haven’t been yet.

@Blutman27 Yes. Totally agree. Survival pool rules: Once you pick a school, you can’t pick them again.

@TomFornelli The real reason is the muscle man from UF. He shows up in Huskers gear for the Sweet Sixteen. Now he shows up in an Iowa jersey today. Iowa fans did not ask for this jinx, Tom!

@tyschmit Bet that Snickers and coffee are tasting pretty damn good right now.

@AMS_3737 @BigTenGrant Tony there are kids on here

Ben McCollum after seeing what Todd Golden said coming out of the double technical timeout

[Ben McCollum is my hero @MountMcKeever]

The last two coaches to lead Iowa to a Sweet 16 ♥️♥️

@ShaneSparksBTN Out. Of. Control. Was painful to watch as a die hard fan. Hard to believe a casual fan could stomach it.

@TPP_MD I’m about six months into being an attending and was woefully unprepared mentally for this concept. I know I’m just n=1, but I hope you know you’re not alone. Your future patients are better for it. Also kudos with being open about it; something I’ve also struggled with.

@JavyP13 None living. Also have to be lucky enough to have them care about athletics. Obv we have wealthy donors, but none in that stratosphere who can flick millions annually without blinking.

[Ben Byriel @Benbyriel]

@TaylorTannebaum @ABLichtenstein People… this is not hard. Just because they made the finals and semester started like two weeks ago does not mean he needs to suddenly enroll a full schedule and take finals in May.

[Ben Byriel @Benbyriel]

@Benaskren We would take Ben in a heartbeat and anyone who pretends otherwise is delusional. Yes the mean Iowa tweets hurt but the truth hurts.

@JustinThomas34 @TomFornelli Absurd that round 2 games are at neutral sites.
