As intern year comes to a close… here’s a thread of things I learned during my first year as a physician🧵

COVID hit when the class of 2022 was about to enter the hospital as MS3s. Nearly all of our experiences in the hospital have been during a pandemic. As a result, many of us have been fighting a burnout level we never thought we’d hit until residency. Be kind to your med students

I went to office hours with a pathologist prof when I was an MS1... she was so kind and so great at explaining things. We also talked about how she met her pathologist husband and how they have a home microscope to look @ things together 🥺😍... pathologists are awesome.

Residency is hard. Being at the hospital for 6 days a week is hard. NOT being at the hospital for the remaining 1 day of the week is also hard.

I don’t understand how there isn’t an avenue for unmatched medical students/docs that is similar to the roles of an APP. I feel like making it through medical school rotations qualifies you to practice under a physician supervisor?

My medical school has an annual memorial service for the people who donated their bodies for our education. We all attend and some of the medical students perform songs, read poems, etc. We are forever grateful to our first pts & their selflessness

I’m so much more burned out studying for step 2 than step 1
Maybe it’s because we (as a world) never left the hell that began when I started dedicated for step 1.... or maybe it’s just chronic exhaustion of med school.... or maybe it’s both idk but I’m over it

Stop trying to make med students work on the holidays. They know they’ll have to eventually work holidays. They pay to be here, whereas you get paid to be here.

requested a medical dr to help a passenger on board today going from Paris to Dallas. I volunteered because I assume that if they’re calling for a dr, they need one. Turns out- they only need you to help if you have your medical license with you (supposedly)

That is unfortunate that she had that outcome after her surgery. That doesn’t mean she is qualified to dissect bodies, and surely there is someone that can hold her father responsible as the overseeing MD.

People asking why you’re at work, as if calling out every time someone at home is ill is actually an option, especially if you’re asymptomatic (and wearing a mask)😬
Would that be ideal? Yes. Is that possible? Usually no.

I can imagine what you were going for with this tweet, but it isn’t coming across how I think you intended. When I was a student, I was required to scrub in for at least 1 section, in order to pass. OB can be extremely intimidating to students, as can the anatomy.

The future is female, even in medicine. Women are the majority in medical schools and they’re entering the work force. If you have a problem with young female docs, this is your sign to get out of healthcare… bc we aren’t going anywhere. ✌️

I would ask yourself first if it’s actually that they’re doing badly or that they’re just stylistically different from you, but still doing their work in a way that works. I honestly feel that we overdo feedback in medicine, and it’s often not productive.

Back again with another point:
Do NOT allow this tweet, thread, info, whatever to keep you from getting help if you need it. Therapy is a great option for many people, and - IMO - it should be celebrated when someone seeks professional help.

This obviously took a bit. So, during that time, the flight attendant told me something along the lines of “it’s not that emergent” and not to “worry”
Is this also common that your flight attendants make this judgment call? Are they trained for that?

No vitamin K is extremely concerning. Vitamin K helps protect babies from strokes.
No antibiotics for baby is concerning if labor becomes prolonged and there is a risk of infection spreading to the baby, OR if you don’t know mom’s GBS status- meningitis is a big deal.

To be clear: I am not upset or offended that I was not needed. It’s enough to get this treatment at work as a physician. I don’t need it on vacation too, especially when a dr’s help was LITERALLY requested.

Do some babies make it home and out of the hospital when their parents refuse the standard of care? Yes. Do all babies? No.
To me, that’s the point here.

There is definitely a rule. The new generation of students is not following it which is great. The focus is shifting to personal wellness. Hopefully within a few years there won’t be an unspoken rule about it anymore & every student will feel comfortable leaving when told to

So that’s why you feel so close to your coresidents after like a week and a half 💀
“Research shows that it takes 90 hours of time together to consider someone a friend and more than 200 hours to consider them a close friend that you have an emotional connection with, he said.”
Friendship is worth our time for joy & resilience in life!

Another dr came to help (reportedly) and I wonder if he was subjected to the same treatment: the judgement of his appearance, the multiple hoops to jump through. I wonder if he was even asked. Other male Drs I know who have done this have not been asked.

No sugar water -if baby gets low blood sugar and has a seizure, that’s concerning bc mom has refused sweet cheeks
No formula is concerning because there are many times that a mom’s milk doesn’t come in or a baby doesn’t latch. How is baby going to eat if they don’t allow formula?
