The way you choose to end a relationship with someone says so much about your character

[Rajvi @rajvishah30]

today someone in office said that “worrying is the worst way to use your imagination” and that’s easily the best thing Ive heard all week

[Dr Terry Simpson @drterrysimpson]

Do you know what makes a good doctor?

Do you ask your physician their MCAT score? Their class rank in medical school? Their Step scores? Or do you ask whether they listen, whether they stay calm under pressure, whether they explain things clearly, whether they can make hard decisions at 2 AM when someone is dying?

Those of us who train physicians — from medical students to fellows — spend years discussing exactly this question. And one thing becomes obvious very quickly: merit is not reducible to a number.

GPA and MCAT scores are opening screens. They help determine who can enter the conversation. They are not prophecies about who will become the best clinician, surgeon, teacher, scientist, or healer.

We have all met brilliant people who collapse the moment uncertainty, chaos, or emotion enters the room. Would you want them taking the call when your child arrests at 2 AM? When your spouse has metastatic cancer? When your parent must come off a ventilator?

Medicine is practiced on frightened human beings, not on Scantrons.

And importantly, we actually know the literature on this. The relationship between standardized test scores and who becomes the most trusted physician, best professor, strongest researcher, or finest clinician is far weaker than many people desperately want to believe.

You really gotta run a strict program or your life will be a circus

[OSAS🦅 @MrOGdiamond]

Wherever I am in the next 2-3 years I just hope I am genuinely happy.

[Stewart Lockett @stew_lock]

I wish we would teach a specific class in grade school just on regulating emotions, communication, and problem solving!

[BRIT. @brit876_]

fun fact about me, I will go & do anything by myself

[Taryn ❤️‍🔥 @tarynxofficial]

Consideration is such a low effort behavior that when someone isn’t considering you you have to realize that it’s very intentional.

[I just didn’t wanna go to Arizona @jordanmike_]

Residency tip:

Push for authorship, presentations, and papers. Nobody will remember how many late nights you worked. They will remember what you produced.

[SHINE✨ @BrownScorpio__]

UNCOMFORTABLE conversations create HEALTHY relationships. Stop avoiding them.

[Stewart Lockett @stew_lock]

So I kept saying how bad I wanted to have a summer body… and now my @DoorDash driver stole wings….

[Stewart Lockett @stew_lock]

Anybody else run their phone to the ground!? 😭🤭

[Rowland 🩺 @RowlandAkpan]

As a medical student/doctor you have every reason to have pride, don't let anybody gaslight you.

[Stewart Lockett @stew_lock]

Consistency > intensity.
