I want everyone to see the face of a fierce patient advocate. He is Richard B. Zelman, MD, FACC, a long-time interventional cardiologist at Cape Cod Hospital in MA. He is also a former medical director of their Heart and Vascular center.

@LondonDocDave @jmugele I understand that your comment was made to detract and distract. So allow me to put us back on track. Let us thank Dr. Mugele for what he has selflessly contributed to our society, including his children. Thank you Dr. Mugele. We see you.

6)The importance of education is also why I have this quote in my bio: Caveat #3 : "Devaluation of education should never, ever be acceptable. Because there would no longer be pursuit of excellence, only pursuit of mediocrity."

I want every physician in MedTwitter to pay attention to this s**t. From the American Academy of Physician Assistants(AAPA): "A PA’s education does not end at graduation. The PA profession is the only medical profession that requires a practitioner to periodically take and pass a

@mahad_minhas 2)affirmative action came to be. Because people just won't do the right f***ing thing. Black physicians represent 3-5 of all docs in medicine and it hasn't changed for decades. There is a reason why--and it isn't because we aren't qualified.

Welp, EM docs, it's happening...With CMGs opening their own EM residencies, the proliferation of NPP "residencies" and "fellowships" and ignoring the warning by the American Academy of Emergency Physicians(AAEM) in 2016 about the threat of an oversupply of EPs, we finally did it.

This is what bulls**t looks like. Lip service to appear important-but no receipts so the public can understand. Contrary to popular belief, PA school is not med school on steroids. Allow me to interpret the BS. If one is REQUIRED to apply to a med school, there is no "IF".

@MsBabyCatcher I failed part I of my EM boards then got deployed. Had to delay re-taking it for a year. 2nd time passed. 2 decades later, no one cares. You will pass next time. Grieve, but keep it in context. It is just a test. It does not define you.

3)For the record, false advertising is illegal in the UK. The statement circled in red is false and deceptive. The important info that is left out is that UK PAs are neither licensed nor regulated, so they cannot possibly be experts. In anything.

@mahad_minhas I took note. And this is why a true meritocracy never existed in this system and never will. When left to human beings representing the majority of one race/ethnicity to decide who is in and who is out, one cannot rely on objectivity or meritocracy. This is exactly why

VIRGINIA PHYSICIANS!!! The s**t just gets worse. There is a proposed bill(by a NP no less) that permits NPs to practice unsupervised after 2 years while mandating MD/DO to complete 3 years of residency BEFORE they can get a license to practice. Right now they can practice after
