To help people is amazing, to take pictures in the process and use them as photo props… that’s not ok. People in need are humans with emotions who I bet rather stay in anonymity.
The whole Island is without electricity once again (not an exaggeration). Once again the health care system was caught unprepared.

Practical advice for the virtual ophtho residency interview season,
a thread 🧵:
-Create a standardized interview prep sheet (mission statement, program specific strengths, curriculum, fellowships, call schedule, research support, etc) & research your interviewers beforehand!

Being a medical student in PR 🇵🇷 feels like an obstacle race. Besides all the situations medical students normally go through, we need to deal with weekly power & water outages, hurricanes and many other natural phenomenons. We are always thinking what’s coming up next 🙃

Came back to a big week of cases after spending some time with the family in Hawaii. This one was the toughest one but most satisfying. International patient who had a very large curve and no one in her home country that could treat it. Happy with how it turned out! #orthotwitter
The premier pediatric hospital in Puerto Rico just filed for bankruptcy. This event impacts a population segment that is in desperate need of quality care & could have effects that are felt in generations to come. The window to take action is becoming worryingly small.
BREAKING: Se acoge a la quiebra el San Jorge Children's Hospital, bajo el Capítulo 11 de reorganización. San Jorge Children's Hospital, Inc. presentó ayer una petición voluntaria de bancarrota ante el Tribunal Federal de Quiebras, en el Viejo San Juan. #PuertoRico #health #Salud
I received no mentorship when applying to Orthopaedic summer programs as an MS-1. After a fantastic summer experience, I felt the need to provide the incoming MS-1s with the tools they needed to navigate this process. A big thanks to my classmates who helped make this possible!

Med student tips for when you do SubIs (some dos and don’ts):
🙏 prepare before the OR (if you need help with HOW, ask your resident for advise)
🤓 bring your gloves to the scrub tech and introduce yourself to the team
🛞wheel the pt in and out of the room, and help transfer
