TIPS FOR NEW INTERNS CALLING CONSULTS: -Never ever apologize. Especially at night there’s a tendency to lead with “Sorry to bother you.” You can be polite without setting the tone of the conversation immediately on the defensive. “Thank you for taking my call.” 1/x

Teaching in EM isn’t a lecture hall. It’s a nod, a question, a quiet correction at 2am.

We agree with Charlie Kirk on basically nothing. Except that he deserves the right, as every human does, to speak freely without the threat of violence.

The most dangerous phrase in medicine isn’t “I don’t know.” It’s: “That’s the way we’ve always done it.” A thread on epistemic humility, diagnostic inertia, and how medicine forgets—until it remembers. 🧵

My evergreen advice for a happy match day: I wrote down a list of reasons I’d be thrilled to go for every program I ranked and put them in sealed envelopes. That way on match day, no matter where I matched, I had an envelope to open with reasons to feel excited. #match2025


I overslept one time in all of residency and all I got was a phone call asking if I was okay! That’s how I know I was in the right program ❤️

i overslept 1 time in all of residency and got an attitude from my attending all day & then an email about professionalism 🤡

Make it 3 years + they’ll be ready by 3. Make it 4 years + they’ll be ready by 4. Make it 5 years + hospital admin will be licking their lips at the $$$. Make it 6 + we will have 2k open EM spots after match because it’s so much easier/cost effective to become an EM NP/PA. 💅🏿

ED boarding is harmful to patients and bad for patient care. I said what I said.


Happy to pass the ABEM Qualifying Exam today! But shook at the overall drop in pass rate 😳

I’m shocked by how misinformed the men in my life are on abortion bans. Most of them support a woman’s right to choose - but they don’t understand that bans put lives at risk. One said to me “I’m sure they don’t impact women who WANT to start a family”. They do - here’s why 🧵
