...Just saw it cited to justify a new subtype: #vascularfrailty
Not quite the takeaway we had in mind... 😅

@soumya-goblue.bsky.socialIt’s ok, I chose this life of relative #physician poverty and high job satisfaction where I don’t need to use a vehicle as an extension of my gonads.
It is always…interesting to see how in other countries #Geriatrics is more popular for #medstudents than ortho surgery. Always shocks me to hear
@soumya-goblue.bsky.socialElizabeth, I have not even cleared to six figures in gross salary this year (I’ll hit it in October but my salary this year is the lowest since I finished #geriatrics #fellowship). 😂
