I didn’t get into medical school the first time.

I was waitlisted at my masters program during my gap year.

I didn’t match into residency the first time.

I failed to SOAP & scrambled into a TY spot that I graduate from tomorrow before leaving for my General Surgery residency.

Feels like residency is just constantly reminding yourself that you are and are worth so much more than all of this.

[Tyler Olson, EA @olsonplanner]

With lattes costing $70,000/year and medical school costing $5 a pop, it’s obvious where the problem lies.

🧵for new residents and students:

Over the last year, I've done 9 threads on different suture materials. Included here are links to each of these. I'll leave this 'pinned' for now. They are:

Prolene, silk, Vicryl, PDS, Ethibond, Nylon, Monocryl, Chromic, and barbed sutures.

Going to start a thread of all the almost medical things my non-medical, non-sciencey boyfriend says bc I can’t 😂
