Just wondering if anyone on #medtwitter knows why in 2022 I still have to wait for the Pony Express to deliver my health insurance cards?

Summary of my experience as a new intern on a heme service:
1) Oh crap I'm the consult for the scary blood labs now
2) Why is the entire hospital thrombocytopenic?
3) Flashbacks to clotting cascades
4) "Spiky bois" should be an acceptable term when describing blood smears

I have been asked to provide a doctor's note for my crutches. Apparently, no, it can not come from me. What's even the point of this MD anyway?

Hi Twitter.
I finally graduated from my MD/PhD program.
Mix of emotions, but mainly "oh my God, oh my God, please get me out of here, oh my God."
"Tinker with arduino," they said.
"It's not that hard," they said.
And now I'm out here having to relearn physics I haven't thought about in a literal decade.
...but at least I turned an LED on?

On a related note - now accepting all cold weather advice.

Bro why do trash cans come with pamphlets and info cards? It's a trash can. It holds trash. What other possible information do I need? Is this just practice trash for me to test the trash can?
What is big trash can trying to get me to do here?

Downside: Linux partition has decided to break and become unbootable.
Upside: Past me was paranoid and kept all the data on Windows.
Upside 2: I now have an excuse to tinker with my main rig.

Signs that you're on the computer too much: you buy a vertical mouse to relieve wrist pain.
Source: Me. Right now. Unironically using my newfound pain relief to extend hours on the computer.

Well, I guess it's that time, #medtwitter. I'm (Scot) Carson Callahan, an M4 from @McGovernMed, and I'm applying to #RadOnc residencies for #Match2022. Looking forward to meeting everyone! (I also like comp bio, if you're into that)
Oh, and here's my super official ERAS photo:
