Andrew Pless, MD

"Student, you do not study to pass the test. You study to prepare for the day when you are the only thing between a patient and the grave".

Huge congrats to our PGY-2 resident Andrew Pless @AndrewPless on being recognized as a Gift of Life Champion 🫀👏 this is for his incredible dedication and advocacy during his ICU rotation — well deserved @UNMC_ACS

Just a new intern popping in to say after day 6 of being a doctor, I’m so so grateful to all of the nurses who are constantly helping us new docs and looking out for us. So many popped into the workroom just to hype me up and give me tips. Y’all are incredible and so appreciated.

Congrats to the new residents and thanks for sharing, @UNMCSurgery! #Match2024

@Psapkota83 Just got one today so not over! Stay hopeful!!

Is the interview season over now? Should we stop expecting any invites or are there any hopes still? Questions striking 24*7 these days. The eras emails are quieter than pin drop silence. #Match2024 #hopeandfaith🤞🏻

@ScottyJonesOMS @IMIzidoro Love that book. Check out the butchering art about Joseph lister next if you haven’t read it yet

@IMIzidoro “Genius on Edge - The Bizzare Double Life of Dr. William Stewart Halsted.” Reading it for the second time! Fascinating peek into medicine at the turn of the 20th century.

really really reallyyyy want to get back into reading, what's your must read for med students?

@a_mneff I can assure you everyone feels like this. Med school is incredibly hard and you have worked incredibly hard to get there. You definitely belong. I say this not to downplay your emotions but to say you are not alone! Keep pushing and next thing you know you’ll be almost done!

@Jordan_MarieJ I did as well

Hi #ERAS2024 & #MedTwitter I would like y’all opinion on this issue please. For those heavily involved and have 10 experiences on their ERAS application, would you “sacrifice” or take a way one experience to list a hobby/interest?

one time in med school I cried after one of my patients died I felt embarrassed for crying and ashamed for showing emotion…until I saw that my attending was crying too. it’s ok to have feelings in medicine

I pledge allegiance to the flag

When I took Step 1 (1999), it was a very hard test. Since then 1000s of new drugs/mechanisms have been discovered. All have been added to the test, nothing removed. First Aid for the Boards is now 848 pages up from about 200! When does it stop? No one can know all this stuff.

Less than 2,000 SOAP positions and more than 11,000 Unmatched SOAP Eligible Applicants looking for a Residency Position each year #DocsLeftBehind

Ok but can we talk about how preposterous it is that there's a legitimate chance you could GRADUATE FROM MEDICAL SCHOOL and not get a residency spot??? A whole MD/DO??? And during a pandemic??? Expanding residency slots WHEN??????????

Have I mentioned that I hate it here

Two med students are holding a newborn for the first time on call tonight. Their awe, admiration, and giggles are priceless! #FuturePediatricians #MedTwitter #OBGYNTwitter #MedStudentTwitter @GregoryGrigorop

Tell your residents how much you appreciate them
