Attending: Choosing to be a surgeon as a woman will lead you to divorce, and your children will resent you for it. You will choose your career over your family. Me: … *the med student was too stunned to speak*

Dear #orthotwitter and #medtwitter , grant me the serenity to survive 6 more months of attendings and residents 💩-talking when I say I want to do ortho. 🥲 It was funny the first time, but after the 20th time… Not so much. 🥶 #MedStudentTwitter

My name is Marilee, and I’m an M4 from @UToledoMed applying into orthopaedic surgery for #Match2024 . If I’m not watching my @CleGuardians , you’ll find me working on my deadlifts or searching for the perfect old fashioned. Can’t wait to see what the next year holds! #MedTwitter

@komal_sharma_29 As a medical student, I would absolutely want to know! I’ve found the best feedback model from supervising docs is what should I continue to do, start to do, and stop doing. You can also do a 🥪 method: good news, bad news, good news!

FYI for any M3 considering a gap year outside of your home institution: renew your ACLS/BCS and Quantiferon/IGRA with plenty of time before VSLO opens. It has been a logistical nightmare.
