He said what he said 😂
Attending physicians - When applying for your latest job, when did you find out how much you would get laid? Before or during the interview?

Needed to see this after just doing a resuscitative thoracotomy on yet another gunshot victim. It’s good to remember the highs as you deal with the lows.
Got a letter from a poly-trauma patient from 14 years ago in whom I did a laparotomy. It describes the childrens' graduations, marriages, and new grandchildren that have taken place since the injury, along with other aspects of life. Reminds you that this work does matter. 😀

A beautiful thread as we look to the start of our next academic year 😌❤️
Medical interns will be starting their new careers this week. I think it's important for the public to know a few things about our new colleagues: 1) In teaching hospitals, we work as a team; interns ARE physicians who learn by watching, then doing, with graduated autonomy. 1/6

Pop quiz - is this the symbiote that changed Spider-Man into Venom or is it the most satisfying thrombectomy you’ve ever seen? What say you #MedTwitter

And comments like this is exactly why I continued current DEI work. Just because you don’t experience bias in your personal life doesn’t mean it isn’t still profoundly affecting lives around you.
@CaseySeidemanMD Stanford took these women as DEI mandates...will churn out sub par surgeons in a few years...at least those who survive the residency program! Sad.

If you did not go into medicine with sincerely altruistic intent, then get out of the field, and get the hell out of my way.

Oh look! A woman with internalized misogyny during women’s history month!
I’ve never seen a hot girl that has muscles. It’s not feminine. Girls aren’t supposed to be muscular. They shouldn’t be lifting. I don’t care if tons of hot women with muscles reply to this tweet with photos and videos of them flexing to prove me wrong. Don’t bother 👀

This is a shameful, exploitive proposition. To see vulnerable students disrespected with even the idea of this, is degrading to the field as a whole. We need to better about breaking down ivory towers and giving applicants reasonable targets and an honest shot at their dreams.
Asking someone to complete 20+ publications in a year and you're not going to pay them? And you don't see how that's extraordinarily exploitative and predatory?? Or you do and you just don't care??
