Overheard in the ED: Patient: If I get admitted and I need open heart surgery will they take them (breast implants) out? Nurse: I don’t think so but, let me ask your doctor. Reader: I was the doctor.

So fun fact I’ve been living between TX and Harlem since I graduated and tonight the city is on fire! 🔥 🔥🔥

Bout 2 years too late for me. Already cut my braids. BUT for those of yall who still have them.

One realization I’ve made from 20 years on the job: many docs who trained at prestigious centers had to fight for procedures, and came out with a shiny resume but weak skills. Can’t speak for surgeons, but if you want an ED doc who can intubate a mosquito, can insert a central line eyes-closed in under 30 seconds, and can calmly run multiple codes simultaneously while strolling from doorway to doorway, they typically do not come from the places a layperson would think of.

100% facts

If I ever die unexpectedly by surprise just know, it was one of these things that caused it smh.

My favorite thing is when something happens and everyone becomes an expert. Law, medicine, politics, even physics... I've seen it all on here

In a different life I’d have followed in my family footsteps and pursued law…

Every single time…

They need to take a page from some other airlines because @united would never have 1k and Group 1 boarding together just saying…

I can tell @SouthwestAir is new to having tiers of boarding because why on earth is A List Preferred combined with Group 1 boarding? That’s like having groups 2 and 3 board in the same line at the same time. My last few flights I’ve been stuck in a mosh pit just to board smh.

My boy in his first year as vasc surgery attending. Fighting the urge to lifestyle creep and still live like a resident.

Found one of my old burned CDs from back in the day. I put it in and literally the first track was that Bill Clinton spam intro from lime wire. Literally made LOL that this thing still getting me after all these years.

The calm before the trauma arrives.

A lot of these people saying “I would adopt a Down Syndrome baby in a heartbeat” would not last a day taking care of a severely physically and intellectually disabled adult.

I guess I should do a couple of lines and work for three days straight like some of our esteemed forefathers in medicine.

Quick pit stop on the road. Always love the nature here.

Starting to lean into this “adult homeowner” stage of life and I’m sitting here i. the Home Depot parking lot feeling like a complete fraud. Everyone has a huge truck and I’m loading up on all kinds of tools, wood, or w/e. Meanwhile I’m googling best charcoal for a grill lol

When I was in business school we used to have mandatory happy hours/dinners where things like etiquette were discussed. Also, fashion, such as removing the temp stitching from a suit jacket. As mentioned in the comments, this really should be a course taught in universities.

Major breakthrough in pancreatic cancer! Take a guess Is it A) Worm pills B) Novel treatment targeting a known gene in the cancer

This is the silent part that people wouldn't know. Behind closed doors inside a medical conference, a large group of clinicians and researchers giving a standing ovation to another group of clinicians and researchers who found a way to increase survival in patients suffering from one of the, if not the, worst cancer in humans. Metastatic pancreatic cancer. They'll do this and then be on their way to see their patients the next day as if nothing happened. And then work on something new to better what they did in this room. That is how medical science works. Value it and value its practitioners.
