I’ll never understand how a program with a predominantly BLACK patient population, accepting 4+ residents a cycle, not have a SINGLE BLACK resident😔

[Doctor Funky @DrTobiasFunky]

An intern at my hospital was crying about how difficult intern year was and that it was causing problems in his marriage, mental well-being, and overall health.
So I put my hand on his shoulder, looked him in the eyes and told him that “medicine isn’t a job, it’s a calling”

@SarahSohail89 @UofAZSurgeryRes Also brush your teeth with toothbrushes & paste from the medsurg supply room at every chance you get

@madison_healey We thought it was bad spring 2020, but really didn’t have anywhere near the COVID positivity of subsequent surges…this one especially. I feel your pain! Hope your colleagues understand your position. But keeping everyone apprised sure must be exhausting.

To improve efficiency in OR, surgical trainee should anticipate next step & what instruments will be needed (while completing task at hand), this requires tremendous focus & lots of practice @TomVargheseJr @SWexner @jnahmias1 @kari_jerge @SAGES_Updates @juliomayol @jmills1955

[Richard Stein @rbstein]

@UofAZSurgery @UofAZSurgeryRes @mikeditillo Look at all those fine surgeons!

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

God I love nog season. Where my fellow nog heads at?

[Haytham Kaafarani @hayfarani]

My 3 cents for #Match2022:
1. IMGs are needed & enrich.
2. #IMG does not sum up or define an applicant. They have different shades & stories. Ask about #distancetravelled
3. Prejudice & discrimination hurt. The blanket statement "our program does not take IMGs" will not age well.

What do you make hourly?
Where do you live?
Has your hospital done any retention bonuses?

[Ashley Winter MD || Urologist @AshleyGWinter]

@PostOpPrincess @TheBlondeRN Not a nurse but so impressed by this thread. Financial knowledge is power. Pay discussions so culturally suppressed- perfect use of Twitter.

[Medical Axioms @medicalaxioms]

I used to take offense when patients would say “stop asking these questions it’s all in my chart.”

Then one day I took this criticism to heart. Everything that has happened in the medical system IS in the chart.

Now I read the chart, out loud, and ask them if it sounds right.
