Be brutally honest: Are you deeply outraged that, while hundreds of millions of Americans and I are struggling financially, Elon Musk has now become the world's first trillionaire, with more wealth than he could spend in 1,000 lifetimes? Yes or no?

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth. We need a wealth tax.

@JACCJournals So you can do anything you want without proof it works and get it published?

Here's a case describing a novel technique (the double-DCB technique) for the treatment of recurrent in-stent restenosis by applying 2 different DCBs, thereby avoiding the implantation of another layer of metal in our patients. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… #JACCCaseReports #PCI

Music therapy is real medicine: → Reduces chronic pain perception → Lowers cortisol (stress hormone) → Improves outcomes in dementia → Reduces preoperative anxiety

I would say that the KISS trial @JACCJournals not only proved that you do not need to do routine SB intervention (commonly kissing), rather I would say the most significant change is proving the concept of POT-side-POT (done in 57% of SB interventions and seems to be more favorable than kissing). I have been recently doing POT-side-POT instead of kissing when I need SBI and that study proved it can be better! Congrats to the authors and @sbrugaletta for an insightful editorial! jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… #cardioX

Here to say sometimes the highest MCAT/USMLE scorers aren't always the best physicians. You can ace a test, but if you don't know how to communicate with others and be considerate, you won't go to many places Plus there's evidence showing MCAT scores is associated with SES
The Notorious R.O.B.@robolivermd

@drterrysimpson For limited resources like slots at a top medical school, objective measures of competence like the high MCAT range should be the major factor in sorting applicants.

@thewcd4 @dr_huffer You’re not thinking that when interviewing candidates. You’re looking at their appearance, their grooming, their body language when answering different and potentially difficult questions, etc. These type of things matter when evaluating applicants. We aren’t robots.

If we did medical school admissions completely race blind: application without a photo or racial demographics, interview via zoom with camera off… Who would object, and why?

@gasmantx @dr_huffer But when your premise is “we dont have enough of x” or “we have too much of y”, how do you stay objective?

@dr_huffer I would definitely object. You learn a lot about people meeting them face to face. In medicine part of our job is communication and professionalism. I’ve seen some interesting things meeting with candidates for admission for both med school and residency.

@thewcd4 Telling a 36 year old mother of three that the lesion we biopsied was a melanoma met and she is now stage IV. A leukemia cutis diagnosis in an 27 year old with no medical history. Telling a parent their infant has Langerhans cell histiocytosis.

Medicine is a language only physicians fully speak. The weight of a difficult diagnosis. The 3am second guessing. The smile you put on before walking into the next room. Find the people who speak it. You need them more than you think.

Try to avoid using lots of “doctor” words when explaining stuff to patients. Granted it makes you sound smart but also clueless to patients needs.
