Dear @CNN, I'm incredibly dissapointed that you felt like emphasizing President Trump's physician was an osteopath by saying "who we know is an osteopath". In the USA, Osteopathic physicians are full practicing physicians. In other countries they are not. Its not a dirty word.

The best part about a good vacation is that I’m looking forward to going to work tomorrow

People watching while on the patio of a restaurant in NYC is divine

@GamerEMDoc I hope that means my certifying exam results are close behind 😅🙃

[Kaitlyn Thomas, DO (she/her) @smalltownDO]

My residents really got me today by hiding my copies of the list and writing a bunch of fake new patients on our board 😂

Having to use the subway to commute for this month has just taught me that it works in mysterious ways. I can’t wait to walk to work again.

@OttersParlance I guess I have not paid attention to new rules on this platform 😅

4 years since I didn’t match, soaped into Emergency Medicine and then went on a journey to end up at my dream CCM fellowship.

If you need support or some advice, my DMs are open!

Unfortunately I didn’t match into a prelim surgery spot I was hoping for. So I’ll be SOAPing this week. Already did a urology research year. Anyone know someone that was in my same shoes and matched urology later? Looking to connect! #match2026 #SOAP2026

Match Week etiquette reminder:

Don’t text people asking if they matched.
Don’t ask if it was their #1.
Don’t pressure them to announce immediately.
Don’t share their results before they do.

This week is life-changing. Let people share and process on their own timeline

[Alexandra Cooper, DO, MS @A_Sapp12]

Heavy feelings going into match week, I don’t think that will ever go away.

This week is filled with so many emotions for everyone.

Here is your reminder that it’s okay if you don’t end up at your #1.

Bought scrubs for the first time in a year.. first package stolen in NYC 😭😭

[Kaitlyn Thomas, DO (she/her) @smalltownDO]

First day working in a new borough.

Had to run to the first train so I didn’t miss it.

Missed my transfer because I couldn’t figure out where to go.

Next train: 16 minutes 🙃

[Kaitlyn Thomas, DO (she/her) @smalltownDO]

I didn’t realize how much stress I was carrying until I finished my certifying exam and now I feel so much better.

[Kaitlyn Thomas, DO (she/her) @smalltownDO]

Am I supposed to be this nervous 24 hours before the test??

Penn station on the weekend:

[Kaitlyn Thomas, DO (she/her) @smalltownDO]

Well, on the pros side of the certifying exam, the hotel is really nice and the area has lots to do in walking distance. 🤷‍♀️

What are some movies to watch while I’m stuck inside for the #nycblizzard

[Kaitlyn Thomas, DO (she/her) @smalltownDO]

Well at least with all my moonlighting for the strike, I can afford resources for oral boards in March😅🙃🙃😭

[Kaitlyn Thomas, DO (she/her) @smalltownDO]

@AskTSA can I bring cinnamon rolls in my carry on? Does it fall under cakes/pies, which seem to be allowed?
