Maria Tropepe, DO (She/Her)

My one month of residency observation. Hospitals are full of negativity but that doesn’t mean you have to be the pessimistic resident who’s a life suck. Choose the high road, be nice to everyone, and remember you chose this path

I can't wait to meet our new residents! 😍

Do any other interns have crippling anxiety that their residency is too short and they can't possibly learn everything in X years? Or just me? 😳 #residency #intern

"Perhaps an introverted obgyn is not the most enthusiastic cheerleader or bubbliest greeter, but their quiet calm & focused energy in the face of an emergency, & the ability to sit in silence with compassion during a time of deep suffering, are powerful gifts for their patients."

PSA: Your period should not 🩸last > 7 days 🩸interfere with your life 🩸happen consistently > than monthly 🩸require product changes more than every 2 hours 🩸have clots larger than a quarter 🩸cause debilitating pain 🩸require double product coverage 🩸make you anemic

@dom_giggles Can confirm. 10/10 recommend.

Any #surgeon that is #lefthanded please DM me. Struggling to decide if I should convert to righty or stick it out! #MedTwitter #surgery

@l_deliberto DM me with your email and I'll send you my entire residency application spreadsheet (with % of DOs accepted)

it is so upsetting and discouraging to see so much discrimination against DOs lately :( especially wanting a more competitive specialty can any OB/GYN DO residents (and MD if you know your program is open minded) drop some programs to sincerely consider for this upcoming match?

@TropeMeat @l_deliberto Absolutely!

@l_deliberto @MariaRusso725 can you help this aspiring OB out?!

Are you better off being taken care of by an MD or DO? @jbcarmody & I had the honor to discuss the recent @AnnalsofIM paper that found no differences in 30-day mortality,🏥 readmissions, LOS, or health care costs between MD and DO's... acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/m2… A quick 🧵...

Anything & everything will absolutely help if you’re able. Alternatively, if you don’t want to use GoFundMe: Venmo @AdenaZadourian CashApp $AdenaZadourian Thank you *from the bottom of my heart* #MedTwitter #ILookLikeASurgeon #Residency #GenSurg

@ashtonsamos I would NOT cancel any sub-I's. I'd wait if the other ones accept you or not. If any others accept you during that tike, email and say your school has denied the schedule request bc you've reached the max # of sub-I's.

Why is this process so dumb someone help me please

When you are accepted for a sub I somewhere do you withdrawal any other applications for that date range & email them still that you’re interested in interviewing still but no longer have that time frame available? I feel like it’s a bad look to leave the application open & (1/2)

Okay except maybe my marriage license application

Onboarding for residency... I've never been so emotional over paperwork 🥺
