- A tetralogy of fellowsReplying to @blondemedSJWNever seen this many cardiologists in one room. What do you call a group of cardiologists?
- We give our residents holiday gifts, but I think the most unique thing we do this time of year is give all our residents a 6 day holiday break. No need to take vacation time. Just a free 6 day block off for the holidays to rest, recover, and see their friends or family.
- Shorten med school to 3 years, eliminate step 1 and get rid of all the repeat basic science stuff from college, then add 1 year to all residencies. Shorten residency work hours. Everyone graduates in the same amount of years, but med ed would be just a better place.
- Nevermind, our staffing is fine, we don’t need any more nurses, thanks!

- Hear me out. A yoga studio for med students. But where you just have 2 drinks and then lay in childs pose for 30 minutes while an attending leading the class tells you its going to be ok.
