What's happening in medicine

What med student has time to keep up with all the new medical news?  I do!  I love the fact that I can follow all these huge names like Medscape and Mayo Clinic on Twitter, which give me a 140-character synopsis of the best.  Honestly I think that it's the most efficient way to see what's being published and what's being debated, as no student has time to scan through multiple sites daily.

Some fun headlines:
