Hakeem R. Oufkir

I have had water, electricity, and shelter taken away from me in childhood. But I learned quickly, my education and knowledge was something that could never be repossessed. I invested in my future and am so proud to have made it this far. Introducing, Dr. Hakeem R. Oufkir. 🥹

Just published this Instragram post, expanding on a Twitter thread I wrote last year on LGBTQ+ rights from an Islamic perspective. 1/

Congratulations, Dr. Ruthi Landau, first female EIC of an academic journal of anesthesiology! @IJOA_Journal @ColumbiaPS @SOAPHQ

@HakeemROufkir @reece_nguyen literal icons 🥹

Just a pair of tall, gay anaesthesiologists living the dream. 🙂‍↔️ 🏳️‍🌈👨🏻‍🤝‍👨🏽 An honour to meet THE Dr. @reece_nguyen and learn about peri-op gender-affirming care during our Grand Rounds at Columbia. Thank you for making the trip!!!

@_ChrisHNguyen @reece_nguyen Can’t wait to have you join the profession!!! 😍🥰

@HakeemROufkir @reece_nguyen This is literally the definition of icon behaviour 🙂‍↔️💅🏼🌈

@reece_nguyen You know the pain of raising that bed to intubate!!! Hehehehe

@HakeemROufkir Also, super rare to find people taller than me - so that was a surprise 🤣

@AskLyft Lyft fixed my issue. Thank you team!

@HakeemROufkir Hey there! If you'd like any assistance from our end on this, please don't hesitate to DM us at your earliest convenience. We're glad to help! twitter.com/messages/compo…

Lyft driver didn’t end the ride and charged me double. Super frustrated with @lyft and their inept to resolve a ride error in a straight forward manner. As a resident with limited funds, this shouldn’t be an issue. If anyone has had success disputing please let me know.

@BillyRubinCyrus Good luck King! Wishing you the absolute best!

And so it begins

Am I the only one having existential dread over paying these student loans on a resident salary? 🫠

I may complain about hours and being tired. But today was one of those days that I truly felt like I have the coolest job in the entire world. An entire privilege. Literally living a dream 🥲

So fortunate to be in NYC. I love it here 🥹

Me re-evaluating my career decisions before showering at 4:30am

@cdmukasa yes ma’am. no warm blankets to be found

It’s always 3:43 AM on call when I become vasodilatory and succumb to my shivering reflex. I’m so cold 🥶

@CorydonWW This is a whole attending tbh 😅

Hey guys guess who is done with CCU ✅

I know they warned me about this but being an intern is hard🤣

I’ve never been so tired.
