Dear @CNN, I'm incredibly dissapointed that you felt like emphasizing President Trump's physician was an osteopath by saying "who we know is an osteopath". In the USA, Osteopathic physicians are full practicing physicians. In other countries they are not. Its not a dirty word.

I think if my dad was examined and there was a legit concern about a blood clot, we’d all be fine. But I worry about it if it’s not covered by insurance and my dad is frustrated about being asked to drop work without an exam.

Healthcare: My dad on blood thinners has had knee pain with effusion for months and I told him to go to PCP He just called me “they told me to go get a stat duplex before seeing me because another patient recently had a blood clot and said it couldn’t wait an hour.”

I can’t wait to be done studying for boards…. I want to read for fellowship, I want to enjoy NYC in the holidays, I don’t want to be stressed about how much I can learn in 2 weeks

My favorite part of the NYC mayor debate: “EVERY PARADE HAS THE RIGHT TO EXIST IN NYC” 😂😂 with an affordability crisis.. parades are not on my mind.

I wonder how tired nephrologists get of writing things like “please chart urine output.”
