This device, known as the Pigg-O-Stat, safely immobilizes infants and young children during x-rays for accurate positioning. Created in 1960, it's still widely used today.

Hot take: when urgent cares and walk-in clinics don’t take walk-in’s, they really are more of a family med practice and less of an urgent care. It seems that the medical system funnels everyone towards the ED and we wonder why people are frustrated and ED workers are overwhelmed

Speaking of VSLO… locations that charge more for DO students… that hurts my soul

Dear residents,

You are good enough. You are capable. And you are much more than any career.

If your mental health has declined, you are not defective. You do not lack resilience.

Find a virtual therapist. Call this physician support line (888-409-0141). Reach out to someone.

[Arrested Development @bluthquotes]

I don’t care for this

[Josh McGough, MD @joshmcgoo]

HEY
Hey
hey
Send your med student home

[Laura Vater, MD, MPH @doclauravater]

Just a reminder that patients on ventilators can often hear us.

Talk to them how you would if they were awake. Introduce yourself. Be kind. Explain what’s happening (before you examine them or do a procedure). They deserve this. #meded

[Glen O'Humeral @HumeralO]

A large portion of medicine is just sticking tubes into places to make things better. Big tubes, little tubes, tubes that put stuff into the body, tubes that bring stuff out. It’s all tubes, man

[Laura Vater, MD, MPH @doclauravater]

Create the culture of training you wish you'd had.

Appreciate your residents.
Be respectful of their time.
Send them home early if you can.

In medical school, they never teach you what to do when pizza delivery man arrives in ER waiting room with $200 of pizza ordered by a patient for an ER waiting room “pizza party.”
