Dr Dana

@hell_line0 I didn’t perform your procedure, but your post popped up on my feed and sounds like me: lots of lido, hand holding, and ending each visit with a reminder to get a treat or pamper yourself 🤍 — standard of care. Glad the universe presented you with a sprinkle donut 🍩!

I had to go get a very unpleasant procedure done at the lady doctor. It was one I've had before and I was DREADING it, but...apparently times have changed?? Because not only did they numb the absolute shit out of me, they brought a woman into the room specifically to HOLD MY HAND the whole time. Which somehow helped immensely. Then, when we were done, the doc (who was wonderful) told me to go get myself a treat. As I was leaving, I got on the elevator, and this insanely beautiful woman slipped on just as the doors were closing. And guys, she had a box of donuts. SPRINKLE DONUTS. I have no idea who she was, but she said, "would you like one?" And I said, "I was just instructed to get myself a treat, so YES." It was delicious. Anyway, I think this needs to be the new standard of care. Boatloads of lidocaine, hand-holding, and magical donut fairies in the elevator.

This is what resilience and ingenuity look like. A mobile X-ray device is repaired and functional again in Gaza, despite the Israeli blockade. As a radiologist, I know what this machine means: people get a diagnosis. People get a chance. Thank you Oday

no words for the horror and grief of watching this unfold, or the shameful knowledge that my beloved country is complicit the antidote remains love, accountability, & justice

@Theholisticpsyc In clinic, in music, in life: create spaces where crying needs no apology 🤍

Crying is the body's way of processing emotions. Apologizing for crying or telling someone to stop crying blocks our brain from releasing painful events. The Science of Tears:

Normalize crying without apologizing

@Variety A documentary about a murdered child is being censored because it might damage a political relationship. Read that sentence again.

@AsiGarbarz The dehumanization of Palestinian children in these replies is heartbreaking. Thank you @AsiGarbarz for your post. We need more voices like yours, from inside the communities that have the most power to demand accountability.

אני לא יכול להירגע מזה; אחרי שמג"בניקים ירו למוות באחים הקטנים שלהם, הם השפילו ,הרביצו והתעללו בילדים ששרדו עד שחייל ערבי התערב ועצר אותם. נפש יהודי לא יכולה לשאת סיפור כזה. צבא יהודי לא יכול לשתוק מול אכזריות כזו.

One day, the grief and pain of every Palestinian orphan will break the silence of everyone who looked away. @BtSIsrael

As a Palestinian-American physician, I wrote this song for Hind Rajab. Her voice is nominated for an Oscar tonight. 🕊️ @motazmalhees @kaoutherbenhania @docstopgenocide @senpeterwelch #HindRajab #Oscars2026 #DrDana #ChangeTheWorld

Hind is not the past. Hind is today. Hind is Mohammad. Hind is Othman. “Hind is every child / Hind is every name we hold on to tight.” I wrote her a song. Because I didn’t know what else to do with grief this large. #HindRajab #Oscars2026 #ChangeTheWorld

And today — this same day, Oscar night — Mohammad, age 5, and Othman, age 7, were shot dead in the West Bank as their family drove home. Their 12-year-old brother Khaled survived. He said: “I heard my mother crying. My father praying. Then silence.”

On Oscar night, I need to tell you about a little girl named Hind. 🧵
