The public doesn’t realize this. They just see higher health costs. Doctors get blamed for costs but they’re getting the biggest pay cut in the health services pie.

You can’t hide from stress. At some point it’ll be there. Better to learn to cope with it, strategize to deal with it. The answer is not get rid of anything that causes stress for students, it’s to teach students how to deal with it.

I really truly hope she learns that people in healthcare should not be ageist + feel inclined to withhold care for people because they are an arbitrary age. Context matters. Nobody should advocate for futile care, obviously. That said, age is just a number; biases matter.

Lot of hate out there towards Americans of Indian descent and Indian immigrants. For what it’s worth, the impact of this small portion of the US population objectively is a net benefit to the country. So even though you hate us, we typically make your life better.

Year ago screening colon no polyps, had “fair prep,” prior gi doc from another state said repeat in 5 years 🤨 Offered two day prep, colon with large flat polyp near AO En bloc resection TA with HGD! What’s your practice for fair prep? 5 years is absurd. #Gitwitter #MedTwitter

New cologuard “plus” 🙄 Great for detecting existing colon cancer. Poor for detecting advanced polyps (polyps most likely to turn into cancer if not removed). It’s what makes colonoscopy the superior test— because the goal is to prevent cancer! #GITwitter #medtwitter
