This is a fantastic report written by one of my close friends, @PrashantDTailor. It’s crucial to be aware of side effects of the vaccine, but everyone please continue to get vaccinated!
Our case report shows: 1. Vaccination benefits far outweigh the risks! 2. As the global rollout of mRNA vaccines continues along with boosters, physicians should be aware of vaccine associated myocarditis as a potentially rare side effect @BassimElSabawi@MayoMN_IMRES#Covid
1/5**NEW EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE POST***
Hey Ophtho Fam!
Several of us have been working with @uiowaeye Dr. Alward (aka Glaucoma legend) this year on a new resource for resident education. It is an addition to the Iowa Glaucoma Curriculum in the form of an anki (flashcard) deck.
Kudos to our residents @MayoEyeRes Blake Fortes & Prashant Tailor for this huge undertaking published in Drugs. There are so many new targeted agents to fight #cancer and #ophthalmology needs to know how these affect the eye. https://t.co/nY1yUCatLE
Today, FDA issued the first emergency use authorization (EUA) for a vaccine for the prevention of #COVID19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 in individuals 16 years of age and older. The emergency use authorization allows the vaccine to be distributed in the U.S. https://t.co/1Vu0xQqmCB
Research @GeorgiaTech identifies hydrogel that could open new path for glaucoma treatment without drugs or surgery. #NEIfunded Read about it: https://t.co/HVSq44lx9E
Informative thread by @drsanjaygupta. Doing a month of infectious disease now and all I can say is please #WearAMask and #SocialDistance. We’re definitely getting better at treating COVID-19 but prevention is the goal!
We’ve reached another sad milestone in this pandemic.
The US has surpassed a record of more than 60k Covid-19 hospitalizations for the 2nd consecutive day. (1/12)

Hellooo Twitter! I’m Mollie, a third year med student wanting to do Ophtho. I made this account to learn more about the field and meet people in a ~covid friendly~ way. I am so excited to pursue this field! Any advice is much appreciated 🤗
@_MelissaYuan The were generally very conversational. Usually, it started off with a question you’d expect like why ophthalmology but then segued into other things, usually about hobbies or any shared interests.
Preparing for interview questions is a fantastic idea. But I’ll say that the most fun conversations I had at interviews last year were the least “rehearsed”. Programs want to get to know YOU, not just your application. Just be yourself and everything else will fall into place.
Been on a Heme/Onc rotation for the past few weeks and it’s made me think of this quote:
"I wish there was a way to know you were in the good old days before you actually left them”
It’s important to take a step back and enjoy the “good old days”. You’ll never regret it.
Med students - do not give up your hobbies or interests in medical school. There were many times I chose leisure over studying and looking back, I have no regrets. Your mental health (and your future ERAS application) will thank you. #MedTwitter#MedStudentTwitter
Another Liverpool retweet, but having a winning mindset is important! Nothing is “hard”, just challenging. And challenges can be overcome! Always give your best in whatever you do 🙂#SundayMotivation
"Hendo made sure we never stopped pushing to be as good as we could be on any given day and made sure we got over the line on occasions when doing so was a big challenge." ✊
@andrewrobertso5 pays special tribute to the skipper in his book, Now You’re Gonna Believe Us...
One of the first surgeries I had the privilege of observing and it made me fall in love with the field. Grateful to have the opportunity to perform such surgeries in the future! #Ophthalmology
