    Flight Attendant: is there a doc on board? Me: um, I guess I'm a doc? Flight Attendant: Fabulous, we're saved! Me: HELP I NEED A NURSE, RESPIRATORY THERAPIST, AND PHARMACIST STAT! (team assembles, saves patient, I do little) Me: that was exhausting, I need more coffee.

    once in med school i was on a rotation with one other guy. we didn't know what to wear, so we agreed to show up in scrubs. the next day I roll in wearing scrubs & sneakers, and he's decked out with a shirt, tie, and dress pants like the king of Italy. med school was so weird.

    one time in med school I had a classmate actually get mad at me because I said I was interested in applying into anesthesia and they said that they were applying into anesthesia and that I couldn't just blindside them like that

    Trump's latest bout of gaslighting scientists has pushed the NEJM editors to explicitly recommend leadership change. unprecedented but appropriate. #BidenHarris2020

    the new Surviving Sepsis 2021 guidelines are out! These are terrific guidelines for anyone who knows absolutely nothing about treating sepsis. For example, if @DGlaucomflecken actually needed to run an ICU, this would be perfect.👌👌 link.springer.com/article/10.100…

    if you’re working the ICU today like me, you’re officially allowed to use whatever antibiotics you want. sunday AND christmas. nobody is paying attention. interested in what happens when you combine linezolid, tigecycline, ceftaroline, and isavuconazonium? GO for it.
