Medical specialties and subspecialties exist for a reason — everyone has something they’re an expert in. While there can sometimes be animosity between specialties or doctors, at the end of the day it’s a collective effort to keep patients healthy. On Twitter, one user is trying to start a thread of “Thank You” tweets for specialists. Check out some of the gratitude-filled tweets below.

Wondering whether we need a new type of medical tweet:

Dear specialist,
I actually think you are quite awesome sometimes. I’m glad there are different types of docs in medicine. We all bring something a little different to the party!

Dear ER doc, thanks for doing absolutely everything for every patient we don't know what to do with or don't want to deal with at every hour of every day

Dear EM doc,

Thank you for dealing with the craziness of the ED, for sending so many people home, and for catching the ones that need to stay in hospital.

Happy to tag in and look after the people who are sick and need to be admitted.

Love,
Internal Medicine https://t.co/lJrZ04FBYK

Dear Internal Medicine doc,
Thanks for taking all those complex things we cannot (annoyingly) send home, not skipping the details and knowing how to sort out complex ongoing treatment regimes that our short attention spans are ill suited for. Much respect. EM.

Dear inpatient doc: thanks for understanding that I’m trying my best. Some patients need admission. And sometimes I haven’t quite made out the exact diagnosis. Thanks for being a team! — EM

Dear radiologists,

Thanks for sitting in the dark all day & answering questions by phone/in person. Often, my discussions with you leads me to expand/narrow my differentials, and I appreciate the teaching pearls every day.

Sincerely,
Internist

Thanks to my amazing charge nurse who keeps the insanity of the ER under control, lights a fire under transport when a pt. needs imaging, does the tough sticks, keeps the PGY's in line, tells me when a pt. needs stat orders, and generally keeps me sane. YOU ROCK!

Thanks to our patient dietician who worked out that the unexplained hyperkaliaemia of my CKD patient is explained by his 30 tomatoes a day habit.

And of course, the unseen backbone of the hospital gets a shout out as well:

Dear Hospital Housekeepers,

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.
