I am so beyond excited to have matched at @mghmedres! Truly feels so surreal, and I cannot believe this day has finally come! Can't wait to finally start my dream career, and looking forward to exploring new places with new faces! #Match2024

@SenWarren @cirseiu Thank you Senator Warren! We truly appreciate your support! 💜

I stand with @cirseiu in their fight for a fair contract – and I urge MGB to negotiate in good faith.

We can only have a healthy Commonwealth when our unions are strong and health care workers are treated fairly. Let’s get this done.

Per @darbysaxbe, from a program officer at the National Science Foundation, federal grants can now be pulled for containing any of these keywords. Absurd and dangerous

[Waleed Shahid 🪬 @_waleedshahid]

In any other country, a billionaire donor like Musk installing loyalists to seize federal agencies, access private citizen data and information about his competitors, and gut working class policies to fund his own tax cut would be called a coup.

BREAKING: About 950 doctors affiliated with Brown and employed at Lifespan and Care New England hospitals are organizing to join CIR!

Our well-being is Rhode Island's health and it's time for us to have a seat at the table for ourselves and our communities! #1u #UnionStrong

Patients don’t come to the hospital to see the CEO.

And actually, hospitals know how much downstream revenue various doctors generate.

Here, e.g., are figures from a 2016 survey.

[CIR/SEIU @cirseiu]

Shortly after resident physicians and fellows voted to unionize with CIR in June 2023, multiple departments at the Brigham and Mass General Hospital (MGH) stripped them of basic benefits such as meal stipends, parking, funding for exams, and licensure coverage.

Viewpoint by @BradSpellberg describes allowing for hospital staff discretion regarding strict adherence to policy vs best interest of the patient. https://t.co/m7FcATPTnv

(1/x) The inferior vena cava (IVC) is 'useless' is a phrase stated confidently and incorrectly by #pocus novices. ❌

The IVC is useless at:
- telling you what to eat for dinner
- acting as a fuel gauge for volume status
- predicting fluid responsiveness

HOWEVER.

The IVC is incredibly useful in helping us decide on the optimal fluid and decongestion strategy for your patients.

(With a bonus discussion of future of #VEXUS research at the end. )

On Labor Day, residents and fellows at Mass General Brigham showed management that they will continue to fight for a contract that improves both lives of these essential workers and the quality of care for patients ✊

Thank you to @bostonherald for amplifying our struggle!

Now that I've had two months to settle in to residency, I think my job is pretty cool! Yeah, long hours, but honestly it's really cool that 1) I'm a doctor (!!!) and 2) every day I'm learning how to do this job even better. Hopefully I'll remember this tweet in a few months 😅

@RiverTamYDN Successful troll, went viral yet again

[Madison Masters, MD @mad__masters]

Hot take: the new Red Line cars on the T are nice, sure, but the hard plastic seats sure are more uncomfortable than those old fashioned cloth ones with the 90s print

I get to have a med student tomorrow!! I'm so excited!!

[Madison Masters, MD @mad__masters]

Yesterday was day 3, and not gonna lie it was really hard. Feels crazy that I have to get up and do it all again, but at least I made friends with the intern on trauma/acute care surgery 😅

[Madison Masters, MD @mad__masters]

@MGBospital You know it! And I of course have been encouraging my classmates to as well 💪🏽

[Madison Masters, MD @mad__masters]

Week 1 of orientation done!
