What happens when you treat a medical conference like a music festival? At the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s annual meeting, ophthalmologist Emily Schehlein, MD, got “pumped” about the “sick” line-up.

At another conference, HLTH 2025, physicians tested technology that estimated their age by scanning their faces — one doctor joked, “I need to talk to my plastic surgeon.”

What does a day in the life of a nurse look like? @travelnursegracie shared her typical morning schedule.

Meanwhile, @dermdiaries.md asked her physician friends to share videos of what they were doing in that moment — offering a glimpse into the lives of doctors across specialties.

Lenox Hill neurosurgeons and Netflix stars David Langer, MD, and John Boockvar, MD, kept it 100 on the land, the sea, and the sky as they channeled their inner Swifties to the tune of “The Fate of Ophelia.”

“Do not become a hospice nurse unless you’re ready to stand 10 toes down all the time.” In a TikTok, @nursemakky_ vented about the challenges of educating fellow nurses about the nuances of hospice care.

Gastroenterologist Wendi LeBrett, MD, shared several gut health tips that she believes everyone should know.

“I love watching her grow and will be with her every step of the way.” Hospitalist Harjas Singh, MD, surprised his child for her 6-month wellness check.

How long does it take to become a brain surgeon? Betsy Grunch, MD, added it up, with the short answer being … it’s not short.

“Don’t overthink the question.” ICU nurse @nurseloveofficial called out philosophical nursing school exam queries.
