Dear @CNN, I'm incredibly dissapointed that you felt like emphasizing President Trump's physician was an osteopath by saying "who we know is an osteopath". In the USA, Osteopathic physicians are full practicing physicians. In other countries they are not. Its not a dirty word.

I’m such a band wagoner to the NBA Finals that someone showed me a tweet about Mitch Robinson and said something about the president and I was like:

My residents really got me today by hiding my copies of the list and writing a bunch of fake new patients on our board 😂 #aprilfoolsday

Unfortunately I didn’t match into a prelim surgery spot I was hoping for. So I’ll be SOAPing this week. Already did a urology research year. Anyone know someone that was in my same shoes and matched urology later? Looking to connect! #match2026 #SOAP2026

Match Week etiquette reminder: Don’t text people asking if they matched. Don’t ask if it was their #1. Don’t pressure them to announce immediately. Don’t share their results before they do. This week is life-changing. Let people share and process on their own timeline

4 years since I didn’t match, soaped into Emergency Medicine and then went on a journey to end up at my dream CCM fellowship. If you need support or some advice, my DMs are open! #match2026 #medtwitter

Heavy feelings going into match week, I don’t think that will ever go away. This week is filled with so many emotions for everyone. Here is your reminder that it’s okay if you don’t end up at your #1.

First day working in a new borough. Had to run to the first train so I didn’t miss it. Missed my transfer because I couldn’t figure out where to go. Next train: 16 minutes 🙃

I didn’t realize how much stress I was carrying until I finished my certifying exam and now I feel so much better.

Well, on the pros side of the certifying exam, the hotel is really nice and the area has lots to do in walking distance. 🤷‍♀️
