@AmtrakNECAlerts We did file a lost item report. Thanks!

@nholtzmanMD Hello, Niki. A lost item report would be the best method of alerting the onboard crew and station staff of this issue, and once it has been located, we will reach out via the information provided on the lost item report. We apologize for any inconvenience.

@AmtrakNECAlerts my mom left her suitcase on NE Regional #93 (BOS to Norfolk) today 3/7/25 and grabbed someone else's by accident. Any way to help with this besides filing lost item report? Sentimental value in bag is high!

There is no one who looks at me with more fear and distrust than my husband when I come busting into his home office and he’s on a video call.

@SteveForgo Yes. But people are less annoyed when I show up with food!

Professional tip: when you’re super late to work, bring bagels. 🥯

Do you know how to teach your patients (persons w/disease) the simple home maneuver; the Semont Plus to alleviate their dizziness from benign positional vertigo. If we all learn this technique and teach it, we will save the healthcare system a bundle. @JAMANeuro trial

@CSWhiteMD *dizzy consult* “I didn’t walk the patient”

Annoy a neurologist in one tweet.

@selenejDO Awesome! Send over invite code if you have extra?

@reverendofdoubt Looking for an invite if you have one!

🟦 is growing on me as more from #medTwitter join

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.

I just found out my blood type is A- and I’m mad I’m not A+, in case you’re wondering how being achievement-oriented has affected me.

@bandherbooks Stuck in bed for a few days after surgery and this is exactly what I need! TY!!!

The Duke Heist is a perfect example of a fun romp romance. The heist part involves a painting and an accidental kidnapping, there's a huge, delightful found family of former orphans, and the Duke himself is a lonely boy only .99 right now! amzn.to/3Nf1Bjb

@rachelhamburg I love dogs so much

I just ran into my former foster dog in the street and it was like that guy who sees his lion friend for the first time in ten years

Tonight on call my Med student told me I was “giving big hospital CEO or department chair energy.” Best. Compliment. Ever.

@melaninandmed I am so sorry for your loss. Holding you, her loved ones, and her spirit in my heart.

This is my dear friend, Nakita. Nakita and I were medical school classmates and both interns in New York City. Nakita tragically took her own life on May 26. She is such a beautiful soul. She was so fun to be around. She was intelligent, charismatic, and confident. (1/x)

Me, 3am, brutal 24hr call: I’m just gonna get a lil sleep… Pager: LET ME SING YOU THE SONG OF MY PEOPLE

Me: so what is the question for neuro? Intern: we are the Orthopedics service and are asking for help 🥺 …fair enough…

New data: Long hours (≥60 per week) & extended shifts (≥24 hours) pose a danger to patient safety & to residents. The combination has a synergistic effect, amplifying medical errors, car crashes, and needle sticks. It’s time to rethink the way we’ve always done things.

My friend. If you’re saying sxs started on Sunday and are still present on Wednesday, you *already* ruled out a TIA.
