Here’s the Chest X-Ray of a young girl suffering from a condition that is now the #1 cause of death in children and adolescents in the U.S. What’s the diagnosis?

Cigna uses an automated system that allows “medical directors” (doctors employed by @Cigna) to deny a claim in 1.2 seconds without opening the patient’s file. Please read this, share it, and help us (metaphorically) burn these companies to the ground.

The problem with women’s health is that everyone thinks it’s only about what a 👙 covers But we have all the other parts, too

It’s that time again, #Match2022. Even if you think you will match, HAVE A BACKUP PLAN! To prepare for soap, you’ll need some help. Have a support system in place before. It does happen.

Med students, if your attending offers to buy lunch at the cafeteria, don’t just get like an apple and water. Get the deluxe chicken sandwich, chips, soda, and a cookie. You haven’t eaten in days. Load up.

Okay I am APPALLLLLED on a daily basis by the number of patients and women on social media who report that a doctor has told them to just have a 🍷 to make sex less painful If you are a doctor who says this, either retire or PLEASE revisit the part where we vowed to do no harm

When you say Ob/Gyns aren’t surgeons, you’re telling every woman who has had a C-section, hysterectomy, vaginal reconstruction, fibroid removal, endometriosis excision, ovarian cancer debulking that her surgery (and thus her diseases) are not real/important/painful/valid. STOP.

Can people who've never cared for someone through a pregnancy stop making VIRAL FALSE claims regarding pregnancy, abortion, conception, birth control, etc? Why is this socially acceptable? Like...we have ACTUAL experts on these topics.

I will humbly call on my #pedsTwitter colleagues to PLEASE refer teenage girls with painful periods or “functional abdominal pain”to a pelvic pain specialist or #pediatricadolescentGYN early and often. Take them seriously. Ask about abuse. You will change their entire future! 🌈

Sometimes I think about the time my medical school tried to pull me off rotations because a preceptor hadn’t turned in an eval for me after 3 months and also how they did nothing to help after I didn’t match and lol fuck them, osteopathic medical education needs to change

My fellow attendings: When a medical student tells you they are excited about the specialty they have chosen, the only acceptable thing to say is, “Great choice!”

I think getting told to bill something as a level 4 visit because I “should get paid for the work I do” is real funny cuz it’s like...the hospital gets paid to have me here and gets paid for the work I do?

What I’ve learned so far during residency is I can stand next to a FOB during a delivery for over an hour and after he tests + for covid the next day be considered “low risk for infection, safe to work” but I can’t go see my family at all unless I want to lose 14 vacation days🙃
