Just a new intern popping in to say after day 6 of being a doctor, I’m so so grateful to all of the nurses who are constantly helping us new docs and looking out for us. So many popped into the workroom just to hype me up and give me tips. Y’all are incredible and so appreciated.

one time in med school I cried after one of my patients died I felt embarrassed for crying and ashamed for showing emotion…until I saw that my attending was crying too. it’s ok to have feelings in medicine

When I took Step 1 (1999), it was a very hard test. Since then 1000s of new drugs/mechanisms have been discovered. All have been added to the test, nothing removed. First Aid for the Boards is now 848 pages up from about 200! When does it stop? No one can know all this stuff.

Ok but can we talk about how preposterous it is that there's a legitimate chance you could GRADUATE FROM MEDICAL SCHOOL and not get a residency spot??? A whole MD/DO??? And during a pandemic??? Expanding residency slots WHEN??????????

Those who died from COVID with “underlying conditions” still suffered a preventable death and deserved to live too.

Chemo delayed. Surgery postponed. Treatment deferred. Death from #COVID19 is not the only bad outcome.

I really can’t fathom this: patient refusal of blood transfusion because the blood could be tainted with Covid vaccine 😳😳😳 What have we come to? – at Durham, NC
