Anybody out there with surgical hubris (by which I just mean a steady hand a strong stomach and unlimited access to needles) have any advice on what type of earring to use if you’re piercing your own ears?

[Relatable Resident @relatableafmd]

@j_thePA Because paying for something you could theoretically make for much less at home is ~*part of the experience*~

If anybody is (or knows of!) a surgery resident looking for a FUNDED research position for their professional development time, message me! I know of some opportunities.

@Pathologuy2 Right, and parents of teenagers are additionally known for encouraging their children to let their health spiral into decay, see sleep as a weakness, ignore all family responsibilities, and …. Wait.

This isn’t about inadequate training. It’s about power and control.

@mattyfred_ I also think it’s context dependent. I, too, find it weird to call myself a surgeon in the hospital but have no problem with it to describe personality traits, like “she wanted to hem and haw over every detail of the party but I’m a surgeon, I just wanted to get things done”

@jzaraterod My favorite is the questions where the answer used to be “no difference” but now there’s new quality improvement data … /s

[Relatable Resident @relatableafmd]

@DrSarahAxelrath Yes exactly. I was trying to get at the fact that a UDS isn’t at all the same as “have you had anything to eat since midnight” but we treat it like it is????

@nursekelsey Great teachable moment about following the whims of others 😂

Twitter is kind of fun if you just focus on the stuff that doesn’t matter at all

@AlissaMitche11 My partner feels this way about one prominent academic center and applied to their very middle-of-the-road fellowship in his niche subspecialty … so that they could invite him for an interview and he could turn them down. He’s gonna be so pissed if they reject him again 😂

@CaptShehata True, but we also know emergencies *happen*. Who is fielding those emergencies?

And passing the pager off to a resident who is then LOCKED out of the OR during the critical portions of a case is … not a solution

[Relatable Resident @relatableafmd]

Don’t see anybody discussing the other major flaw with this analogy—pilots aren’t simultaneously responsible for other people that aren’t on the plane. Locking doors and muting phones/pagers sounds straight up dangerous, what if your patient on the floor develops a neck hematoma?

@mike_natter @cvspharmacy Not just a local issue. And to illustrate how it’s a systemic issue, yesterday I overheard a customer asking about the best time to get a flu shot “when are you quiet enough that you can step away to give a vaccine”

“Umm … there is no good time. We’re busy like this all day”

@ntradsteminist Have you experienced ego death yet

[Relatable Resident @relatableafmd]

I just tried Celsius for the first time, drank approximately 1/4 of it, and now I have unlocked a new level of anxiety

@CanadianKayMD 1) obtain some iteration of this device (ie strainer and jar)
2) get medium or light roast beans, coarsely ground (can consider getting whole beans shipped to you and grinding them at home)
3) fill strainer with grounds, jar with water
4) steep in fridge for 12-18 hours
5) 😌
