@Miazolam I had a salty old carpenter as a patient who put it like this: “I’d rather be looking AT it than looking FOR it” and yeah pretty much

@mrsballs69 I asked for a Patagonia winter coat for Christmas intern year, and 11 years later as an attending it is still my winter coat.

@mrsballs69 While I don’t love the tone of the original tweet or the fact that it was posted at all, I can def empathize with the frustration of trying to teach someone and help them succeed and they just don’t even care. That’s not even a medical skill that’s a regular work/human skill.

@mrsballs69 Second half of M4 you’re allowed to do the basic minimum of what’s required and then go home, not go the extra mile. It sounds like this student is not only doing less than the bare minimum, but she is not showing the appropriate respect to the ppl taking the time to teach her.

@GongGasGirl All I’m really getting from this is that when the block wears off they feel pain lol

@simplyserotonin I don’t know if this helps or hurts but those decisions are never made by one single person. So the individual saying it likely means it but can’t control the process as a whole hence it isn’t a guarantee.

@mary_gill @JDVance Our last governor was a republican, didn’t run again bc he said the party has changed so much a moderate like him would be primaried by a right wing lunatic who would then lose the general election so what was the point. Moderates do well here…the problem is in your own party.

@Liltamale2 @drrdemon I literally thought it was best to just focus on studying and did no extracurriculars. Now I’m on the app review committee for our residency and literally finding out now, as an attending, what I should have been doing lol.

[Merry Colella @merry__berry]

@Liltamale2 @drrdemon This right here. I have no one medical in my family and had no idea what I was supposed to be doing outside of coursework until like the end of M3. Luckily an amazing attending took an interest in me and help set me up with some last minute projects, I will forever be grateful.

@fuqekgs @laurenncarterr When I don’t wear makeup people ask “oh were you here overnight?” 💀

@Pluscachange201 @ZacksJerryRig No one is paid by the jab, so you could start there.

@XanetaShayM @dianelwe @atensnut You “have friends that are Spanish” is not ringing true at all lmao. I don’t care, and the halftime show isn’t changing so you may as well accept it now.

[Merry Colella @merry__berry]

@XanetaShayM @dianelwe @atensnut Pick an argument. You keep being wrong so you change what you’re saying. First it’s ICE should pick him up, then it’s that he doesn’t speak English. Now it’s that the #1 streaming artist on Spotify should write NEW songs in English just for people like you who won’t watch anyway

[Merry Colella @merry__berry]

@XanetaShayM @dianelwe @atensnut They hired him to do what he does which is perform Latin music. Acting like Puerto Rican culture and the Spanish language is not part of American culture is a losing argument and is based on ignorance and stupidity. Either way you can stay mad about the halftime show.

[Merry Colella @merry__berry]

@XanetaShayM @atensnut And he has learned English? He just hosted SNL lol what are you missing

[Merry Colella @merry__berry]

@XanetaShayM @atensnut Stand corrected on what? His first language is Spanish, which is the language they speak in Puerto Rico.

@deewrldss @thekitchenbruja There aren’t any your body is actually very good at doing this on its own and letting you know when you should put on a sweater
