If a pregnant patient presents to the ER with trauma and the story just doesn’t seem to make sense, you must find a way to interview her without her partner present. Pregnant women in the U.S. are more likely to be murdered than to die from an obstetric cause. Read that again.

Proud but sad that today is @KateOConnellDO’s last day at MUSC as Neurocritical Care Fellow. A lot happens in 2 years during a critical care fellowship and she is ready for the next step. @MUSCNeuroICU

Oh you’re going to a teaching hospital in July? Well get ready… for the most compassionate care from extremely empathetic interns along with their vigilant supervising attendings. Hope you like open ended questions and doctors listening to you bc you’re gonna drown in it.

We’re filled with 😭and 😁 as the academic year comes to an end Sad to see @KateOConnellDO leave for PA but so proud of her accomplishments here and excited for what her future holds! Thank you for the wonderful memories, please 📞 us frequently! #Graduation #NCCfellowship

Dear #MedTwitter, finally got an interview with the amazing @Sthanu5. He was not comfortable doing an audio or video, which I respect. Therefore, here is a written conversation with him. "@Sthanu5 in 10 boluses"

It was great to watch our first year fellow @GangaNavada running rounds this morning + teaching our medical students and residents all things about 🧠 #FellowFridays #NeuroICU #NCC #MedEd

I love this 😂😂😂

Great learning case about something I personally had never seen of, or truthfully ever heard of before this. There’s always something to learn every day from every patient and from our rockstar attendings!

Loved watching our second year fellow @KateOConnellDO calmly intubate a sick patient with our fellowship director Dr. Andrews! #neurocriticalcare #intubate #neuroicu #welcometosecondyear #ncclife
