If your ERAS picture is cropped and your head is not visible fully, you need to adjust your head to the centre and reupload the picture. I have created a free tool for that: #Match2026 huggingface.co/spaces/patholo…

I wonder why I have never seen vegan activists use this as an argument.

Did you know? Carnivores don't get Atherosclerosis and humans are the rare animal species that suffer a myocardial infarction.

Man: They're just 0s and 1s. Machines can't be conscious. God: You're just ions and neurotransmitters. Humans can't be conscious.

An era is over. Goodbye Ozzy. You went off the rails on a crazy train.

One downside of using Anki is that important facts can be overlooked if they don't have individual cards. To address this, regularly consult other resources and either add these facts to your Lecture Notes section or create new cards for them.

After more than 500 days of grinding Anki day in and day out, Step 2 is finally done. Hoping all the hard work pays off 🤞 #MedTwitter

The medical LLM (AMIE) alone outperforms clinician-assisted AMIE in diagnostic accuracy by a significant margin.

The medical drama series "The Pitt" is awesome. Tells a lot about the US healthcare system and residency. For an IMG like me it was like an "USCE". In this tough competition of getting an actual good USCE, I think watching The Pitt should count as one. 😁 @jasonryanmd @SeeFisch

I think there should be something like pre-prediabetes. I'm shocked to see many ppl in 20s with prediabetes and T2DM. At-risk ppl, like 1° relatives w/ T2DM and/or high-risk groups like S. Asians, should auto get a pre-prediabetes dx and start health food & lifestyle changes.

I'm convinced free will is an illusion. The brain operates on neuronal electrical impulses, dictated by physical and chemical conditions. Each neuron is influenced by others in a chain of causality. At no point does a distinct "you" intervene or exert control.

When strangers ask what I do, I say I work at a hospital. Started this because many shared medical issues & sought advice when I said I was an MD. People need to realize medicine is our livelihood, & taking advice requires a doctor-patient relationship.

Science might answer all our problems, but consciousness will likely remain a mystery. Questions like 𝘐𝘴 𝘮𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘥? or 𝘈𝘮 𝘐 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴? will probably never have a scientific answer.

Several years ago, when I developed a protruding belly, my grandmother was delighted. She grew up during a time when a large belly symbolized status and prosperity. How quickly times change!

Health literacy is poor even among Nepal’s educated. Kathmandu Mayor @ShahBalen recently endorsed lead-containing substances for medicine—an admirable leader, but a reckless, baseless claim. @DocstoryNepal

I think Hindus and Buddhists describe the same phenomenon differently as Atma and Anatma. For Hindus, a candle burns with a continuous flame; for Buddhists, the flame changes moment to moment as new reactions produce different photons each time.
