Picture this:
It’s 2011. First day of college. You meet a boy across the hall & instantly hit it off. You build an honest to god platonic friendship. Then BOOM you’re 21, making out at the Bird.
It’s 2018. And that boy from freshman year? Yeah he just asked you to marry him💍

PSA from your friendly thoracic PA; just because a lung cancer pt has a pleural effusion does NOT mean it’s a malignant effusion. You have to run cytology. A true malignant effusion instantly makes them stage IV.

My wish for 2023 is that we stop using the "allergies" section of the chart for "medications I don't want/ don't like/ had adverse effects with."

And world peace.

Are you even a surgical PA if you and your other APP friends haven’t talked about which of the attendings you would let operate on you if needed?

I showed a resident how to diagnose a pneumothoraces

She asked 'don't you mean a pneumothorax?'

I replied 'it's pleural'

I don't understand having to have BLS when you already have ACLS, like when I renew my ACLS I feel like that should just cover things

The same people who don’t fear COVID bc of a “98% survival rate”, now fear a vaccine that has a 0.00009% risk of causing blood clots. Make it make sense 🤔

[Dr. Golf Shirt @DrGolfShirt]

Me: How are you feeling?

Patient: The exact same. I’m no better. Why am I no better?

Me: Did you do the things I recommended?

Patient: No.

Me:...

Patient:...

Me:...

Patient: This is all your fault.

This lady on the plane said "vaxxed and waxed, baby, I'm ready for some action on this trip." and that should be everybody's vibe this summer.

[Qaali Hussein, MD @QaaliHussein1]

I’ll cut open a chest, cross-clamp an aorta, and perform open cardiac massage.

Nope!

Netflix got one more price raise before I go buy a VCR

[Jess Biller, DO @LactatedRingers]

Medicine is the worst. Patients telling you they’re afraid to die or to not let them die but you know it’s inevitable and you try so hard for them but there’s nothing you can do to stop it. I hate it.
