An IUD is excellent contraception and lasts longer than a presidential term.

Unfriendly reminder that immigrants don't have to be surgeons to be worthy of anyone's respect

@CorriveauNick well deserved - excited for you!

@drphiliplee1 @dieworkwear I find this so interesting. I used to be in the NHS and definitely thought tucked in looked genuinely ridiculous. Now I’m in the USA and tucked in is absolutely the way to go. Untucked is so untidy looking.

I’m kind of a convert to the whole prerounds thing. I think it improves patient care and really improves resident education. Interesting to read the different perspectives here.

@timricketts_ @amateuradam Having to hunt through a pile of scrubs on the changing room floor to find a pair that vaguely fit you to wear. Often these have someone’s obs/MRN number in biro written on the leg

So delighted that the medical community has so many powerhouses in it, like my friend Dr Rametse-Sangeni MD PhD. Absolute BOSS

[Lerato Cosnet,MD PhD @LCosnet]

Officialllllyyy a “Double D”!! Dr. Dr Rametse-Sangweni !🥹In 2011, the late Prof Mayosi and Arieh Katz started the first official MD-PhD programme in South Africa @UCTHealthSci.This meant that as a medical student you could also pursue a research degree almost simultaneously!!1/4

@maryam_0m4r In my experience there's a >90% chance you'll be asked to re-present all those documents on day 1 (or some time after starting) regardless of whether or not you presented them in advance. Not worth the trip.
