Medicine is a serious profession. Every day, you deal with life-threatening situations — sometimes with good outcomes, sometimes with bad. But through everything is the reassuring thought that most everyone else in medicine can understand what you’re going through. We collected some light-hearted, thought-provoking, and down-right hilarious tweets to bring a smile to your face.

Serious question for #medtwitter: If you show up at a code, and the patient is a centaur who had a cardiac arrest, ignoring the joules question, where do you think the defib pads should go? A, assuming the heart is in the human part, or B, assuming the heart is in the horse part? pic.twitter.com/OJt9haEgx3
