@reznavajo @jbcarmody I can't get over the irony of that response to someone who is 0 for 3.

Last month - without much fanfare - the AAMC released data from the most recent medical school application cycle.
The number of applicants was down again (falling just below the number of applicants from 5 years ago).
Meanwhile, the overall acceptance rate increased to 45.2%.

@atatatstat @nephondemand @Gabby_Brauner27 And telling them that they can ask their nurse knows how to get ahold of the doctor if they have any other questions not connective?
At the very least, it takes 11 years of post-secondary education to become a physician. Wanting to be called Dr. isn't a ridiculous request (2/2)
English
@atatatstat @nephondemand @Gabby_Brauner27 It's a respect thing. My doctor is a friend, but when I'm seeing her as as a patient, I always use her title.
And patients expect to see the doctor every day when they're hospitalized. How is me introducing myself as Dr. Mburu, sitting down with them to give them an update (1/2)
English
What do you do when a patient/family looks at your ID and calls you by your first name after introducing yourself as Dr.______?
Idk if it’s a resident thing or a female thing but it’s happened a lot and I usually just ignore it
Idk if that’s the right thing 🫣
English
@toughdog18 @Gabby_Brauner27 Because even after correcting them and making it clear I'm the doctor taking care of them, they won't use the correct name/title. But as others have said, that title and respect is automatically given to male physicians.

@SupernovaMomma The chills aren't as intense, but they're still there. Every time I see the clip. And then again when Cap says avengers assemble.
And like someone else said, it's mixed with sadness when I see Chadwick
English
Our brain and nervous system is absolutely fascinating. I get the exact same feeling I got the first time I watched this every time I watch this. The chills, the excitement…the way that affects my body somatically all the same
Marvel Perfect Gifs & Clips@MCUPerfectGifs
A moment in cinema history that will never repeat itself or even be topped again. This was a culmination of 10 years and 23 movies

@earpergirl67 @adhd_beans I haven't, but I'll have to check him out!

I was just researching and I thought of a great question for the readers AND the ND folk.
For the ND folks who love reading...do you experience anphantasia or hyperphantasia?
I love reading bc it's like a movie in my head. I wonder if people who can't visualize still enjoy it.
English
@adhd_beans I'm likely not visualizing anything but the words while I'm reading.
But i would still rather read the book before the movie. Sometimes it feels like the visualization is a distraction from actually focusing on the book. (3/3)
English
@adhd_beans Will just "visualize' the words against nothingness/a black background. Sometimes I'll picture a faceless form doing the actions, but unless i assign a character a face (like if i saw the movie before reading the book, or a character reminds me of someone i know, (2/3)

Once it warmed up, i went for a walk around my neighborhood. Kept my head on a swivel when i realized how many Trump support signs and American flags there were.
Brittani James, MD@DrBrittaniJ
I woke up yesterday morning, looked out my window and saw the neighbors had hung this flag on their children’s playground. Pull up a seat, and join me, friends, for The Chronicles of Being Black in a Rich, White suburb A thread 💀
English
@fambaam1 @Emaperidol Most laymen think a resident isn't actually a physician, so I'll just keeping saying I'm that until I'm sure there isn't a more doctor-y doctor on the plane.
Idk where OP's confidence comes from, because med school beat that shit right out of me.
English
@Emaperidol Props to him because I ain’t telling anyone I’m a doctor on a plane lol

Difference between PGY0 and PGY7
*Medical emergency on board*
Flight attendant: are you a medical doctor?
Me, half asleep: No. *goes back to sleep*

Looking up how to mute people/conversations/posts on twitter again because I can only read so many iterations of "doctors suck" when I come here to doom scroll.
It's like I'm coming to twitter to be kicked when I'm already down

@Korrinie @morganworker @adhdjesse Giving stimulants to someone with GAD causing symptoms of ADHD without ADHD can cause worsening anxiety and/or panic attacks.
It's def frustrating, but it's done for a reason. You go to the doctor to figure out what's wrong and treat the underlying issue, not just the symptoms.
English
Why are doctors and medical professionals still so misinformed about ADHD?
It's not like there's a lack of studies on ADHD.
Not trolling, I'm actually curious where the disconnect is—I assume many are acting in good faith, so why do so many believe outdated and debunked myths?
English
@hearth_taro @adhdjesse It takes a couple to ruin it for everyone else. And its a government body that determines what is a controlled substance and what isn't. So some of this is because doctors have been burned trying to help a patient, and some of this is just the result of federal regulation.
English
@hearth_taro @adhdjesse Unfortunately, it's not imagined. In general,, a lot of rules are in place because someone tried to do the thing. I remember in gen chem, we weren't allowed to have water bottles or coffee mugs during tests because people were writing notes in the lids. (1/2)
English
@RozaRebelRouser @Pat_from_scarb @adhdjesse That's not something we choose not to do; I don't think we're allowed to prescribe nor than 1 months worth of a controlled substance. And you need to be evaluated every 3 months by your doctor, your doctor has to run a check to make sure you haven't gotten another prescription...
English
@CorydonWW The juxtaposition of the "just do it" decal is *chefs kiss* beautiful.
You def should this one in.

My school is asking for photos of us during our “medical school experience” and I can not think of a better photo that sums it up better than this one from 2nd year
English
@StrategicResrch @adhdjesse And I think most studies just show more improvement in performance and mood/self-esteem with stimulants. But after doing some reading, I think Strattera may now be another first-line option? I'll have to look into that further. (3/3)
English
@StrategicResrch @adhdjesse Besides that, SSRI/SNRIs have a black box warning of increasing risk of suicidal ideation in people under 25. If someone has tried an SSRI/SNRI in the past and had that result, I'm not comfortable prescribing another med in those classes. I'm not sure what Psychiatrists do
