Visiting a dear friend in DC this weekend, they brought us to a peaceful little crag in Rock Creek Park they've dubbed "Screaming Rock" Why Screaming Rock? "We started coming here during season 1 of COVID. It's where we come to scream." 13/10, everyone needs a screaming rock.

new answer just dropped for the inevitable "Why did you apply to osteopathic schools?" interview question
James Karz, DO, played the cake-eating Bruce Bogtrotter in the 1996 film "Matilda" before retiring from acting in 1998. He attended the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and now specializes in emergency medicine. bit.ly/3riOAOs #DOProud #Matilda

as Intern year gives way to PGY-II, one of my goals is to get back to hobbies that fell by the wayside. I.e. hopefully I'll have more time to be unhinged on the bird app again. (...or The Other App if ya have an invite 🥺🙏)

"Baby Shark" is apparently an appropriate tempo to follow for chest compressions during CPR... I feel like this is truly cursed knowledge. Not looking forward to when it inevitably pops into my head during an actual code.

me getting to the tweet about their caffeine consumption and realizing those are not unrealistic numbers for me 😬😬😬
1/n adult arrives with sudden on onset of weakness, inability to stand. Complaints of muscle tenderness. CPK 11,000. Cr 2.0 mg/dL(baseline 0.9), Phos 7.6. AKI due to toxic ATN/rhabdo. All clear. But, K 2.1 mmol/L! Not the expected hyperkalemia…
