@KimiChernoby Because “residency” after a PA or NP program is optional, the salaries for this speciality training has to be competitive with other NP/PA jobs. To me the huge disparity in pay just signals how much medical residents are undervalued, not that PAs/NPs are overvalued.

Today one of my (very sick) patients told me they were going to live to November because they quote “had to see that buffoon voted out of the White House”. I aspire to that level of feistiness in my old age. #internchronicles #VoteHimOut

If a #Surgery resident can spend two hours hand writing postcards to #TurnOutTheVote on her one day off after working 17 days straight....you can too. #Vote #LivesDependOnIt #DocsRxVoting

Call-shift highlights: 1) First successful central line! 2) Asking an ICU nurse if he needed anything and getting the response: “No, but would you like a pumpkin ice cream bon bon?!” It was freakin delicious. #internchronicles #nursesrock #HalloweenintheHospital

We've diagnosed the problem, now the questions is will our legislators have the courage to put partisanship aside and vote for solutions? #EndGunViolence #MarchForOurLives

@ReaganACollins It’s the year 2021 and >50% surgical trainees are women. You may be somewhere where women are the minority, but know there are surgical training programs that are 70% women :) @UCDavis_Surgery #FutureIsFemale #ILookLikeaSurgeon

@Scott_Wiener Seems like a poor move for @JaneKim while running in a mayoral race where a major issue is affordable housing and addressing homelessness.

@grimsr3ap3r79 @krassenstein As a surgeon I can tell you each year there are more qualified applicants than there are spots. So the question becomes do we want a society in which people in all privileged positions look the same? Have the same cultural perspective? Surgeons do more than cut.

@emergcasey We should be supporting professional development of all trainees. ACGME training programs have to demonstrate sufficient procedural training opportunities as part of their accreditation. Shouldn’t NP/PA training programs have to do the same?

I didn’t think today would be the day I ran to the ED to see an unstable patient and have a team of people look at me and say “Oh good! Surgery is here!” Guess I managed to conceal my own panic? #internchronicles Patient doing fine now btw.

@KimiChernoby I agree using the term “residents” for anyone other than physician trainees is confusing. Also ironic the term came from when they literally lived in the hospital, which 4 10-hr shifts a week definitely is not.
