i became an abortion provider today

Is it normal for other people to UNTUCK ALL THE CORNERS OF THE BED when they get into it?????

thank you kind nyc subway riders for waking up this sleepy resident on the train because there was a literal cockroach on me #welcometonewyork

Has anybody tried giving burnout lectures to the healthcare system decision makers about how to cause less burnout rather than lecturing the burnt out on how to be less burnt out

@jtrebach I still cry every time a patient dies 💛

one time in med school I cried after one of my patients died I felt embarrassed for crying and ashamed for showing emotion…until I saw that my attending was crying too. it’s ok to have feelings in medicine

@MashliLoves It’s honestly so liberating

The level of unbothered I will have mastered by the time I finish residency is empowering to think about.

I’m convinced we can be equally exhausted by our work & fulfilled by it. We can love a job that makes us weary. It doesn’t mean it’s the wrong fit or the wrong work. It’s a reminder that we need space and time to unwind, decompress, and restore ourselves.

@ProfAlang @choo_ek Everyone is white

Nothing gets me more fired up than my patients being treated as less-than. I refuse to tolerate that bullsh*t

Eid Mubarak to all those who celebrate! Special love to the residents who are working to care for others on this special holiday ❤️

@GraceMeade18 @ohsuobgyn 🎉🎉🎉

Very excited that I'll have the opportunity to do a complex family planing elective rotation at @ohsuobgyn next spring to continue my abortion training 😊

Explaining the trauma we experience to our family is challenging Trying to explain how we’re able to see traumatic things without it ruining us is more challenging I’ve learned that while I need that skill to do my job, I also need to process trauma to be human. #Medtwitter

Many of us are the first doctors in our family, from our neighborhoods, from our communities. We know it was hard to get here. Now, if one can, let’s make sure we give back. Help out those who have the heart and brain for medicine, but not the guidance. Invest in people ❤️

If 24 hour shifts are so great, how come we don’t ask that of nurses too? pilots? heavy machinery operators? truckers? air traffic controllers? I respect that some people have a personal preference and that many provide good care despite exhaustion. But. We can dream bigger.

Rest Well Dr Nakita Mortimer 😔 Residency programs across the country need systemic and institutional overhauls. Residents (we) are struggling. We lost another bright light too soon. #Residency #SuicideAwareness #InstitutionalOppression #ResidentPhysicians

You should be able to easily sue insurance companies for denial of treatments/services, especially if it results in a negative outcome. Especially on PAs for chronic meds.

And I also know that the system sucks out people’s kindness and patience with a brutal efficiency.
