Big day at the office.

@Michael59503746 @GoodGravySMH I think you gotta vote blue for the courts at this point. At least that’s what I’m telling myself.

@SomeoneWhoIsntI @sven_piek @Elmo0201921412 @RyanMarino You can take that up with your precious society of dermatologists for their treatment algorithm then, but I’m still not really seeing how a dermatologist treating a dermatologic condition makes the point you are trying to make?

@SomeoneWhoIsntI @sven_piek @Elmo0201921412 @RyanMarino I can post screenshots too. Treatment guidelines from the American Academy of Dermatology for acne. Accutane is awesome but a heavy-hitter. Starting with antibiotics is an appropriate step.

@SomeoneWhoIsntI @RyanMarino Pediatricians advocate for children. Sorry if that makes it hard for you to get on twitter.

[kate @vanillaiceing]

@SomeoneWhoIsntI @RyanMarino Could it possibly be because our patient populations are the most vulnerable to generalized government policy??

[kate @vanillaiceing]

@SomeoneWhoIsntI @sven_piek @Elmo0201921412 @RyanMarino Nicole, you’re exhausting. You’ve got your stories and I’ve got mine, so I’m going to follow the example of the hundreds of pediatricians I know that dedicate their lives treating and saving children over your possible HIPAA-defying surgeon partner.

[kate @vanillaiceing]

@SomeoneWhoIsntI @RyanMarino lol okay

[kate @vanillaiceing]

@SomeoneWhoIsntI @RyanMarino I have academically exceptional classmates in peds, ortho, OB/GYN, IM, etc etc. People match as a backup into primary care specialties yes, but a lot of incredibly smart people match in every field because that’s where they want to be. Sorry you don’t understand that.

[kate @vanillaiceing]

@SomeoneWhoIsntI @sven_piek @Elmo0201921412 @RyanMarino nah, you actually claimed “It often means they didn’t have the scores to get into a dermatology or ophthalmology residency.”

[kate @vanillaiceing]

@SomeoneWhoIsntI @sven_piek @Elmo0201921412 @RyanMarino No one is arguing that peds is competitive, we’re taking issue that you are assuming everyone who matches peds/psych did it as a backup.

[kate @vanillaiceing]

@SomeoneWhoIsntI @RyanMarino And your assumption that people match into peds because they are too dumb to get into something better (because more competitive = better according to all of the stats you keep posting I guess?) is also incredibly sus.

[kate @vanillaiceing]

@SomeoneWhoIsntI @RyanMarino med students with high test scores are allowed to go into pediatrics.. we don’t all love rashes and eyeballs
