Decided to include this joke in my MD grad photo shoot and I don't regret it in the least

@NotoriousS1Q3T3 Congrats man!

Extremely blessed to announce that I have matched in Emergency Medicine at Stony Brook University Teaching Hospital in Long Island, New York!!!!! I am honored to join such a stellar program committed to training some of the best EM physicians! I already spoke to this some in my post from Monday, but words can’t describe how elated I am. Not matching last year broke me, and I spent most of the past year depressed after being ripped from my support system and thrust to a place where I know nobody while doing a TY that, while great, is not what I had hoped to achieve during the SOAP. And overall, I spent a lot of time questioning my place in Emergency Medicine in general. One year later, I finally know what it feels like to match to a program that I truly wanted to be at, but more importantly, that truly wanted ME. I am a more confident physician, and more confident in myself and my ability to do hard things. It took a while to see the silver lining, but I truly believe things happen for a reason—and I now know I was meant to take this path, despite it not being what I initially had envisioned. I have been blessed to be surrounded by incredible colleagues and new friends both within and outside of work, finding a small, loving, supportive community here in Fayetteville during the hardest year of my life and slowly recovered from the trauma of the 2025 Match and SOAP process. And, I have had such incredible support from new and existing mentors as I worked tirelessly to achieve this goal. It still doesn’t feel real. I keep rechecking my email and the NRMP website to make sure there wasn’t a mistake, even though my PD has emailed us all and personally called me already. I am so incredibly proud of myself and the hard work I put in to claw my way back from failure, of my perseverance borne of my decades of martial arts training. Now, the real work begins as I look towards this exciting next chapter of becoming a BAFERD. I couldn’t be more thrilled, but I also couldn’t be more thankful for the challenges that have led me to this point. Time to begin planning my move…but first, time for some well-earned celebration and PTO the next few days. LET’S FREAKING GOOOOO!!!!!! 😎🏥🚑🚨🩺🩻👨🏼‍⚕️ #Match2026 #EMbound #BAFERD

What if there is a 4th, even more extravascular space for fluid to go

Hi so !! Pre-eclampsia is literally life threatening !!! Like it’s not just “oh my blood pressure is high and my ankles are swollen” it’s like “can and will cause a stroke or multi-organ failure if untreated.” You guys know that, right? It’s important to me that you know that.

A med student with a social media following recently said patients shouldn’t trust an “unhealthy” doctor. People gain or lose weight for countless reasons. Thyroid issues. Grief. Pregnancy. Stress. Recovery from addiction. And in training? Forget it. Be kind to yourself first!

In 18 years as an ER doc, I ask about immigration status about as often as I ask about insurance—which is never My job is to respond to the person in front me, as if neither immigration or insurance matters Because in that moment, neither of those things matter So tell me, what do Americans want me to do when the person dying before me is undocumented? Let them die? And what if they’re uninsured? Check that they’ve paid their monthly dues before I check their pulse? We should stop making this an argument about providing emergency care to certain populations And start asking how it reflects on us all if we’re truly willing to withhold care in those moments of emergency, just because of what a piece of paper might or might not say

“Nazi” isn’t a slur. It’s a word that describes real people who earnestly believe in their ideas. Their ideas are disgusting and hateful, but of course they often do not realize it. I keep running into racists who think that it’s not white supremacist to think that white people are inherently superior to other races. No…that’s the whole definition!! The fact that they believe it earnestly and don’t think it’s an idiotic, hateful belief doesn’t mean it’s not an idiotic, hateful belief. Nazi isn’t a word that means “bad evil boogeyman” it means “someone who believes in their own racial superiority, extreme protectionist nativism, the purifying of society by eliminating undesirables, expansionism, active suppression of dissent, and total state power held in the hands of a very small group.” Make sure the people you’re cheering for don’t believe these things because otherwise…

@JohnCrumplerMD Congrats bro! Wishing y'all all the best

It was a big weekend!! Unbelievably blessed McKenzie **Crumpler** will be by my side for life.

@drrdemon I try to find the sweet spot between energy and PVC's/anxiety. That's usually either ~24-28 oz of my home brewed coffee or 2 cups from home + 3ish espresso shots' worth at work

How much caffeine do yall consume per day because I feel like I need to pump up these numbers

@fuqekgs Coger? That one carries a different meaning in Spain, which I've found Duo tends to pull from

I tried saying a simple, innocent sentence in Spanish, a language I'm learning on Duolingo, to a Spanish-speaking friend and apparently it translated to something really really NSFW and illegal. I'm done learning languages 😂

This is the most hilariously deliriogenic thing I’ve ever seen. Patient “where’s the piano playing miniature horse?” Me “I dunno but here’s your precedex”

All it takes is one rotation to show you what’s truly important to you. So, I’m excited to reintroduce myself! Hi! I’m Amanda, a 4th year medical student applying to #EmergencyMedicine residency for the #Match2026! I’ll always love bones, but I can’t give up medicine. 🩺

@futureMDrach Congrats!

Hi I haven’t gotten on here in almost a year, but for the OGs who remember me getting on here after a rough breakup, facing the terrifying prospects on dating apps, and then stumbling across a great guy irl and going on a date with him…anyway we’re getting married next year
