When "cancer" is a diagnosis but not really a disease A slightly more philosophical piece than my usual—on what we mean by cancer, and whether the word itself can sometimes do more harm than good.... let me know what you think! Many thanks @pam3001 @aeonmag aeon.co/essays/we-need-a-bet…

This thread on burnout is spot on 🎯
Some thoughts on burnout: 🧵 A part of burnout in medicine, especially in academia, is that people are carrying around with them an enormous number of thoughts and frustrations that just sit there and fester in their minds, and they see no safe outlet for expressing them. (1/)

Oral boards prep hasn't appreciably changed in decades, so I built MockUro, an AI examiner that walks you through ~250 canonical urology cases in Socratic Q&A format, grades your free-form answers across key domains, and adapts your study plan to your weak spots 🧵

The Pitt is not complete until they have a difficult foley and the urologist they call grills them on which catheters they tried, who tried and say they’re not coming in until the doctor themselves try. And then they come in and place it in 3 seconds.
