I once saw an orthopedist consult nephrology for “worsening creatinine” when the number went down.

Side Hustle Ideas: I will start an Onlyfans called ‘OnlyFlans’ where I post cooking tutorial videos of all types of jiggly delicious Flan.

[Melina Manolas, MD, MPH @melina_manolas]

This month I made $4,052 from "side hustles" between social media engagements and pre-residency advising... nearly double what I make biweekly as a chief endocrinology fellow.

Food for thought: what does it say about trainee physician salaries when side gigs can pay more?

There is a difference between constructive criticism and a vituperative attack.

If you are an educator who cannot tell the difference, teaching isn’t for you.

@elonmusk I would argue that we live in an Oligarchy, and you are one of the oligarchs. 🤷🏽‍♂️

This post is absurd. This tweet is posted as factual without a shred of data to support it. We really are living in the age of misinformation. Clearly the author has no grasp of the economics behind the US healthcare system.
The biggest cost of US healthcare is NOT from providers

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

Insurance companies are low-paid middlemen who are hired to play the bad guy in the bloated U.S. health care system. The real people overcharging you are the providers themselves.

ACGME and the Medical Match system/process is a collusive anti-labor cartel that functions to depress wages and worsen working conditions for residents and fellows. It removes pressure from programs to openly compete in a free-market to recruit applicants.

There I said it

[MBZB @mbzbmdmba]

With all this talk about immigrants, indentured servants and suppressed wages, can we talk about the US medical residency training system? Are we ready for that talk? 🤷🏽‍♂️

It’s like asking a cardiologist about a dermatology issue. So silly.

[MBZB @mbzbmdmba]

This is so misleading. I can guarantee that the clinicians used as the control were not specialists and specifically ones who deal regularly w/ this diagnosis. The clinicians answering this case plan are not Nephrologists.
And yes, your LLM is correct. Please consult Nephrology

Here's an example case looking at phosphate wasting and elevated FGF23, then proceeded to imaging to localize a potential tumor.

o1-preview suggested testing plan takes a broader, more methodical approach, systematically ruling out other causes of hypophosphatemia.

Nissan could do the funniest thing and hire Carlos Ghosn to save them

[unusual_whales @unusual_whales]

Two unnamed Nissan executives said the company has "12 to 14 months to survive," per Motor1.

Nissan cut more than 9,000 jobs last week, while simultaneously slashing production by nearly 20%. Nissan's operating profit dropped 85% in Q3, per Sawyer Merritt.
