Hey everyone in the #EMedsky / #EMsky orbit - I’m Peter. Former EMS person turned 3rd year med student. I only rode out Twitter for as long as I did for the old MedTwitter crew. I’m hoping to find some of the same over here

Shoutout to the real hero of my General Surgery rotation: the med student who left his rare Jasmine Edition of Surgical Recall in the break room. Dr. Luehrs you saved me from so many attending questions

Hot take: I’m glad DeepSeek is making all the tech /wall street guys freak out. Most AI feels overhyped and not nearly as impressive as the sales pitch. Competition is a good thing

School decided that the first week of January was a good time to give us a complete crash course into how The Match is gonna work.. have you ever seen 100+ med students have panic attacks on a single Teams call?

So is it like an ER sequel? Same cinematic universe? Do all over the top medical shows just exist in the same reality?

At this point I think I’ve learned, forgotten, and relearned Sacral OMT more than any other concept in all of medicine
