First use of the hastag #MedTwitter was in 2009

The first use of the hastag #MedTwitter was in 2009 by one of my accounts @DrVes, did not know about this until this year.

Did you know that the first medical journal club on Twitter was started by an allergist/immunologist @DrVes? #MedTwitter: If you’re interested in connecting with the allergy & immunology community, try: #AIMedEd. We’d love to interact & learn from other specialties https://t.co/XblWN4zjdm
