at academic hospitals patients are placed on the “non-teaching” medicine service if they are deemed to have low educational value, meaning they will only be seen by a hospitalist and no residents. your mileage may vary on what this mean but it seems like a lot of transfers for hardware infections

It’s funny that “dog walking” as an idiom conveys defeat and humiliation even though it’s generally a pleasant experience for the dog

I’m not an extremist about many things but in my opinion people with vinyl license plate covers designed to interfere with the legibility of the plate have opted out of the social contract and their lives are forfeit

Multigenerational human habitation of any celestial body other than earth is pure fantasy and a death cult. Our physiology is not compatible with microgravity, cosmic radiation etc.

If calling animal control did anything they’d make it illegal

Predatory snails and mollusks and such lead such an interesting life. They’re all just constantly turning each other into ooze and sucking each other down. They just slosh around and around. Ooze to ooze. Drill, liquidate, suck, slime on. Get drilled, get liquidated, get sucked. Slime on.

Community service rocks cause people will ask what crime you committed and you’re like uhh professional school

It’s in the public interest to have a racially diverse physician workforce, in the same way it’s in the public interest for the military to be racially diverse. Medical school admissions should reflect this mandate. Failed white applicants were not “passed over” for seats, they didn’t make the cut.

The Pump! You opened it. We came. Angels to some. Demons to others. Now you must come with us. Taste our pleasures.

Rarely see it discussed what a profound effect GLP-1s are having on bariatric surgery volumes. Fellowships are shutting down, practices are letting people go, attending bari surgeons are having to scrub more general cases. Ofc some patients plateau on GLP-1s and still need surgery

I matched at my number 1 and I’m very grateful for this. I feel confident that I can build a competitive profile for the fellowships I want (NCC/stroke/neuroIR) at this institution, and that I’ll get comprehensive training.

Post match etiquette can be kinda tough to navigate. You may not know if the person you’re congratulating ranked their program #1 or #15. It may not be obvious how best to support those who went unmatched and delayed graduation for a research year, or those who matched a backup specialty.

New horizon in neurointervention: instead of surgically resecting the culprit hemisphere to achieve seizure control in hemimegalencephaly, embolize it pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41028505/

I feel like the hospitality industry never really bounced back from covid. You used to stay at a hotel and the front desk would hook you up with whatever you needed. Now it’s all Gen Z stare

“Mayo expelled a medfluencer”, I exclaim breathlessly. The ghost of Rudolf Virchow looks on in silence.

The other day I was doing volunteer blood pressure screenings for the homeless while a lady next to me from a local nondenominational church outreach group was handing out free hand rolled cigarettes. Harm reduction is a land of contrasts

28 Years Later was doing so well up until the point where Dr. Kelson tells Isla he’s unsure if her cancer began in the brain. Primary brain tumors almost never metastasize extracranially. Breast cancer metastasizes to the brain all the time.

My owl might not have gone to a fancy owl academy in a big ancient oak. But he’s got, you know, he’s got forest wisdom. He’s out there hitting the underbrush killing voles every damn day

people defending their thesis love to be asked what's your primary weapon and sidearm, where are your choke points and kill zones etc

Noticing a phenomenon where guys don’t really have the language to discuss their wife’s bravery during childbirth so they talk about it like it’s sports. “She really left it all on the field”
