Although a lot of that description is fascinating, what really catches everyone's eyes is the term✨ecstasy✨. What could he even mean by that? Thankfully, Doestoevsky himself tells us more about his experiences through the (beautiful) narration of a seizure in "The Idiot":

Ok, this broke my brain but it was on my step1 studying schedule so... A 🧵 of dissecting this last tweet. Thank you @RosenelliEM !! If I could convince the USMLE of letting me do the test w/ my twitter I'm pretty sure I could it!

Hypokalemia and acidosis? Thinking RTA? Check urine lytes. Remember that the Urine AG is nml in a healthy pt and should be negative in an acidosis reflecting ⬆️ NH4+. If the urine AG is + then 💡type 1 or 4 RTA as proton excretion is abnormal

5yo me would be happy I still sing in the shower. 13yo me would be sad i don't have a tattoo sleeve. 17yo me would hate that I'm a doctor. 20yo me would be flabbergasted that I can parallel park (sometimes). 22yo me would be proud I know what HLH is. Things change.

3. I shouldn't judge myself by my worst days. 4. I'm not as good as I'll be in 10 years. 5. Everything I do, I do for my future patients. 6. I know very little about medicine, about life, about myself... and that makes life a never ending learning journey.

I love accents. Theyre like scars on your face or passed down jewlery. It tells a story and answers un asked questions. Scheherazade told 1000+1 stories, not the same story 1000+1 nights. #cafecitothoughts

I've always been interested in cognition. Then I discovered clinical reasoning and loved the idea of meta-cognition. And now I can't stop thinking about thinking about thinking. #cafecitothoughts

Once a day do something that terrifies you and then proceed to enjoy every min. of it! Today it was discussing hypoglycemia w/ @AnnKumfer and @mendesthiagob on @CPSolvers VMR with a final Dx that might just be interesting enough to pull me away from neuro (👀 @AaronLBerkowitz )

Medicine is science and humanities, not because you work with humans (although most doctors do...), but because you should (at least strive to) learn about philosophy, religion, anthropology, geography, art to better understand and serve your patients. Wonderful 🧵 Dani.

The region I live in is surrounded by myths… Being from the Amazon is considered different even within my own country. While there is many times a lack of resources, professionals come up with solutions daily to problems only those who live here might consider.
