Someone tell this little boy amidst his cancer treatment that he's going to be an internist!!! Can't wait to sign my first furosemide order in a few months! Thanks to everyone's mentorship who got me here, especially @AnnaGaddy #Match2025

I am thrilled to share that I matched into Diagnostic Radiology at MGH! It’s been quite the journey, from being recruited to the U.S. on a D1 tennis scholarship to applying to medical school as an international student. Each challenge along the way tested me and shaped me into the person I am today. I’m grateful for always stepping outside my comfort zone, and for the unconditional support of my family, friends, and mentors. @MedicalCollege @mghradchiefs @MGHImaging @TheNRMP #match2026 #radiology

I’m sorry, but I disagree with this decision. We seem to operate under the assumption that physicians are responsible for fixing every aspect of society, which is unrealistic. First, we already have trained professionals in nutrition—dietitians. Yet we consistently underpay them and fail to provide adequate access to their services. While physicians receiving 40 hours of nutrition education isn’t inherently a bad idea, delivering the behavioral interventions required to meaningfully change diet often takes hours of patient engagement. In the current system, many physicians are fortunate if they can spend 5–10 minutes with a patient a few times per year. The problem is not that people are unaware they should eat more fruits and vegetables. The larger issue is that the food system itself heavily subsidizes and incentivizes highly processed foods. Structural changes to that system would likely have a far greater impact than physicians repeatedly telling patients to eat more fruits and vegetables. At some point, we need to acknowledge the limits of what can realistically be addressed within a brief clinical encounter. It’s all so exhausting.

5/ Dozens of recommendations re: anticoagulation management. Highlights include: ⭐️ Preference for LMWH over UFH as initial parenteral therapy in category C-E patients. ⭐️ Preference for DOACs over VKA for ongoing management in all patients.

3/ Novel granular risk categories! ⭐️ A: Sub-clinical ⭐️ B: Symptomatic with low clinical risk score (eg: PESI score) ⭐️ C: Symptomatic w/ elevated clinical risk score ⭐️ D: Incipient cardiopulmonary failure ⭐️ E: Cardiopulmonary failure ⭐️ Sub-categories & resp modifiers

🧵 1/ First ever AHA/ACC/multi-society guidelines re: diagnosis & management of acute PE released today! 2 year effort with 38 authors from 10 specialties. Link attached & summary in this thread: jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

Illinois has the highest Adj. ORtg in KenPom history at 131.0 However, average offensive efficiency across D1 is the highest it's ever been in the KP era. Standardizing AdjOE relative to D1 average by season, can see they're not quite the most efficient offense ever.

Poor guy died because the doctor had been fooled into the myth of contrast nephropathy. When death is on the Iine, fuck the kidneys.
