I’ll never understand how a program with a predominantly BLACK patient population, accepting 4+ residents a cycle, not have a SINGLE BLACK resident😔

An intern at my hospital was crying about how difficult intern year was and that it was causing problems in his marriage, mental well-being, and overall health.
So I put my hand on his shoulder, looked him in the eyes and told him that “medicine isn’t a job, it’s a calling”

To improve efficiency in OR, surgical trainee should anticipate next step & what instruments will be needed (while completing task at hand), this requires tremendous focus & lots of practice @TomVargheseJr @SWexner @jnahmias1 @kari_jerge @SAGES_Updates @juliomayol @jmills1955

My 3 cents for #Match2022:
1. IMGs are needed & enrich.
2. #IMG does not sum up or define an applicant. They have different shades & stories. Ask about #distancetravelled
3. Prejudice & discrimination hurt. The blanket statement "our program does not take IMGs" will not age well.

Not a nurse but so impressed by this thread. Financial knowledge is power. Pay discussions so culturally suppressed- perfect use of Twitter.

I used to take offense when patients would say “stop asking these questions it’s all in my chart.”
Then one day I took this criticism to heart. Everything that has happened in the medical system IS in the chart.
Now I read the chart, out loud, and ask them if it sounds right.

Our daughter gets more joy from watching someone else win than winning herself. And when doing a puzzle, she always has someone else place the last piece.
Not sure how she developed such a strong sense of generosity & empathy at age 4, but I get emotional each time. 🥺

My day is 5a-7p. I carry the one pager for the entire ortho department and manage pages for ~60pts while the team operates. I do floor work, write notes, see consults etc. It’s fun+exhausting. But nothing is more exhausting than the disrespect I get from being a female physician.
