I didn't go to medical school, sacrifice my 20's and early 30's to become a "provider". I did it to become a "Doctor." Happy to collaborate on care for patients, but at the end of the day, I'm going to lead the team because it's what I've trained to do.
Jesus got nothing to do with this, #Pope LeoBro.
You boutta be helped by #SCIENCE. Let’s go #medicine
Wooooooooooooo.
Dear friends, during some recent medical examinations, the doctors found a small, localized nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well-localized. The doctors believe that it is best to intervene, so, following their advice, I have decided to undergo surgery to remove it. The operation is already scheduled to take place in the coming days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers.
Oh man oh man do peripheral arterial disease next do peripheral arterial disease next.
A new Clinical Practice article summarizes the classification, evaluation, risk stratification, and management of syncope. History, examination, electrocardiography, and orthostatic blood-pressure measurement identify the cause in most patients.

Ask AI Companion to provide a summary of this article for your patient. In Spanish.
ALT A flowchart from the Clinical Practice article "Syncope" by Rose Anne Kenny, M.D., D.Sc., that shows the general principles for initial evaluation of all patients after an episode of syncope. The chart includes steps such as suspected syncope, evaluation, history taking, and an ECG. It categorizes causes of syncope as certain or uncertain, leading to risk assessment and further evaluation or treatment.
Uninstalled Haiku from my phone this week.
Honestly been fine without it and prefer not being on secure chat at all times. Ya’ll can call me if theres a problem.
Dear Program Directors:
Punishing an applicant for a letter they didn’t write, and waived their right to review is absolute horse shit and you should choose a different fucking hill to die on.
May all the DVT consults find this hematologist.
Dear letter-writers: NEVER address your letters of recommendation to "Dear Sirs" if you want me to read your letter. You are only hurting the person on whose behalf you are writing. Sincerely, a woman program director. #GenderEquity
As a chief resident, I had a NP on my team that would slow my rounds with the attending by orders of magnitude.
One day, I told her I literally lost my Chapstick and if she could use her nursing knowledge to help me out, I’d appreciate.
Rounds went fast, AND I got my chapstick!
I don’t think the answer @SalaryDr was looking for was for Jesse Morse to talk about how he left medicine to start grifting. (This guy is a fuckin clown by the way).
@AmputationSuck giving sound advice tho.
These people are a fucking scourge on the healthcare system.

As long as we may euthanize you if you require any medical care, you do you.
If you want in on the group discount, wear the belt we all agreed to wear when we let you in at those prices.
GI Version:
If you have a GI bleed, 8AM Monday through Wednesday is the only time we scope. If you’ve taken aspirin in the last ten years, we require a 7 day washout. Plavix is 2 months with follow up in Transfusion and GI Bleed Clinic.
When you’re a fucking dumbass like @datgirlawkward.
Words continue to be hard.
Why does every fucking batshit crazy person on twitter have “Long COVID” in their bio? #Medtwitter
Recipe for engagement from #ThePitt idiot Stan accounts:
1. make stupid post on twitter that makes people think you have IQ loss from brain cancer
2. Block replies forcing people to retweet your post
3. Be a fucking idiot all over the fucking place
And another one! @ShesKindaALot thanks for the block and self-decontaminating my feed!
This is like life’s side quest.
A tale of two photos. C’mon @ChantalMoniqueC you can’t be this much of a fucking wet shoe.
As a vascular surgeon - I have no idea what you’re trying to show us in this picture.

@Dr_Sudi was so sweet and let me cry because I could finally see what was causing my issues without seeming like a psychosomatic young woman who just needed therapy. I had passed my tilt table test and Raynaud's Test, and it was so disheartening and frustrating to me because I couldn't figure out what was wrong after consulting 15 doctors.
