I was shocked seeing this CT head until I realized what went wrong. Any ideas? #Neurology

If a junior trainee wants to quit a specialty after working with your department, check: 1. Schedule 2. Leadership 3. Team dynamics 4. Selection process 100% chance you failed at one of the above. >95% chance you failed more than one of the above. #MedTwitter #neurotwitter

Every time I see a patient for 2nd opinion who got recommended to see psychiatrist for neurological symptoms that clearly have organic origin, I realize some doctors have hard time saying "I don't know". Asymmetric dystonia, contraction, hypertrophy is not psychological #FND

Promoting a toxic person or a sycophant and expecting them to be a great leader is like planting weeds and hoping for roses. Leadership demands & thrives on integrity, not ego or flattery. #Leadership

Since the very first Nowyouknow Neuro newsletter in July 2022, I’ve been part of this incredible journey. Now, with 36 landmark articles, our newsletter project is officially complete! You can catch up on them here: nowyouknowneuro.com/landmark-artic…

Enjoying our newsletters? I’m thrilled to share we’re working on something even bigger for neurology trainees & practitioners, launching by the end of this academic year. 🚀 Stay tuned—exciting updates are coming soon!

The biggest advantage of having great juniors @VUMCneurology is that once you design a project, others are willing to take it to the finish line. After getting IRB approval, I barely contributed 10% to it. Here is full text: #PNES #FND doi.org/10.1016/j.seiz…

Wishing all the best to everyone finding their perfect residency match today! Special congrats to the neurology matches – your journey to mastering the brain starts now! To those who didn’t match: your resilience will carry you forward – keep pushing #Match2025

Med Myth reminder: If a patient hasn’t used 75% of prescribed meds in 9 months, it’s not treatment failure or a side effect. Adding more meds won’t help. Investigate non-compliance reasons first. They self-reported? Just listen. Listening is essential to the art of medicine

Whenever I tell people they're burnt out, they often respond, "Nah, I'm not burnt out, I'm just ___." What they describe is actually a sign of silent burnout. Check out this image to help you recognize burnout in yourself and your colleagues/besties—act before it's too late!

This month, U.S. FDA announced that animal testing will be phased out! Echoes my LinkedIn article from years ago pushing for alternatives. #AnimalTesting #Innovation "Why is it essential to find more human-relevant toxicity testing approaches?" Link: linkedin.com/pulse/why-esse…

On behalf of Dr. Chitnis, I’m happy to share this recording of a practical and honest discussion of Neurology PDs on how to match + how to bounce back after not matching. Real advice, real encouragement! #Nmatch #Residency dropbox.com/scl/fi/j3274uc…

Done with last weekend day of work in residency. No overnight calls, no weekend shifts for remaining weeks of residency #neuro

Functional neurological disorder (#FND) remains a research orphan NIH. FND is among the costliest and least funded sources of neurological disability. The latest NIH review cycle was no exception: zero FND-based grants were funded. neurology.org/doi/abs/10.121…
