My class has 7 people applying neurology out of ~100. For reference, anesthesia (considered to be rising in popularity) is at 10. Small noisy dataset ofc but I still think neurology is gaining steam

First shift of my emergency medicine rotation tonight. What am I in for

Going to certify and submit ERAS today. What a wild ride it’s been guys

Getting really good ads now

If H1B visas cost $100,000 annually this effectively means the workforce of hospitals in this country is gone. No IMGs and not enough US MD/DO students to make up the shortfall in residency programs

I actually think my personal statement for ERAS is pretty good. Can’t wait to look at it in three years during fellowship application and cringe.

ate foraged mushrooms (Agaricus sp.) several days ago and didn't die 😼

It is kinda weird that I’m gen z and my grandpa fought in the second world war

My dad had a CD that was just Crockett’s theme from Miami Vice with nothing else on it. And he would play this on repeat in his mercury grand marquis

Found out my friend from high school is working for one of those evil companies named after the lord of the rings

Due to the tense political climate I am no longer comfortable wearing my black family reunion t-shirt that has an image of the Death Star with the Guinness harp superimposed on it out in public

TIL you can actually order CT contrast for end stage renal patients because there’s no kidney left to hurt and they just dialyze it off

I KNOW THE PIECES FIT

I miss por_ous

I’ll see it when I believe it

“Stroke is algorithmic” until some weird shit happens that’s not mentioned in any guidelines, which at an academic / tertiary center is every day

Most insane thing I’ve ever seen. This guy hooked up a TENS unit with a computer vision program to help him cheat at counterstrike youtu.be/9alJwQG-Wbk?...

RCT of shunt surgery in normal pressure hydrocephalus largely confirms prior knowledge: gait velocity and a clinical score of gait / balance improved at 3 months for shunt valve vs placebo valve setting, cognitive and urinary endpoints not significant www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

“Chickens have come home to roost” is a strange idiom. Wouldn’t it set your mind at ease that your chickens have come home to roost? You could be reassured that they weren’t eaten by a raccoon or fox.

One of my favorite childhood books. Some things never change

I could be an intern at your institution next year. And I vote

The cerebellum isn’t just about coordinating movement. It’s implicated in nearly every domain of cognition—from language to social behavior. But how exactly does the cerebellum contribute to action and cognition? 🧵 Check out our new paper w/ Rich Ivry. arxiv.org/abs/2509.09818

I never say “drug abuse”, only drug use. Who am I to tell someone they’re using cocaine wrong

Same creature

The way some people talk about Subaru is hilarious. Fellas is it gay to drive a safe vehicle that can tow and off-road and get good gas mileage

Welp

Saw the new Aronofsky movie Caught Stealing. Pretty good

Saw a warbler hit a window and die this morning as I walked to the hospital. Stood there staring at it for a while. Important medicine department guy walked by and nodded knowingly when I said “warbler migration”.

Got great feedback from my neurology sub-internship

“Extraterrestrial microbes did chemistry on Mars in the distant past. The Air Force shot hellfire missiles at a UFO over Yemen. President Macron spotted in bed with grey alien.”

There are actually a bunch of helpful videos for learning neuroradiology on YouTube. Not sure why I never looked into this earlier

Accidentally poured my entire bag of nutritional yeast into my popcorn 😾

(walking around IKEA) wow Swedish prisons are so progressive

Bluesky sensitive content filter would flag one of those ceiling lamps that looks like a boob

My cat likes to gently bite the corner of my wallet, phone, laptop, etc. just a little taste

Must be great to be the guy who sells the coffins in a western movie

you're supposed to have caffeine after a lumber puncture so actually this ultra strawberry dreams zero sugar monster is MEDICINAL
