I'm a residential school survivor, spent 8 years in there, i honour the memory of the 215 who never made it home. <3

@drjessigold Dedicated

Hey #MedTwitter What is something in medicine that exists that is completely horrible for your #mentalhealth (and likely physical too) and when you have asked about it or questioned it someone said: "This is the way it has always been" or "In my day it was worse"?

@farahrahman23 but keratin pearls! next to teeth and hair!

ok im gonna draw a hard line at the fact that teratomas with somatic malignancy (aka cancerous growth within cancerous growth) exists and I definitely refuse to know that it is squamous cell cancer of the skin of the teratoma!!! stop it.

@ElizabethMD15 “You got this” and “Breathe” are my go to’s

hey guys what is some info i should spew from my brain as soon as i get my scratch sheet of paper for step 1??? like what have yall found helpful to write down on that paper

Happy pride! And especially to friends in dedicated 🌈💞🫀

@jack_turban Came onto twitter to escape from dedicated hell. Holy wow did this make my day. TY!!!

@ElizabethMD15 Double standards against ourselves. Classic

what's so dumb is that i would never judge someone else based on their step 1 score because i know its not a reflection of their ability to be a good physician and yet here i am judging myself

The evidence of our eyes met at last by accountability in the eyes of justice. #DerekChauvinTrial

Chauvin found guilty on all three counts. It’s good news and a move in the right direction

Studying virology. Read that the name herpes is derived from a Greek word meaning “to creep.” Became distracted listening to Radiohead. Wondered why I never have enough time. Best to let the mysteries be.

Fight for us while we’re alive.

@jessicaleanice Let’s go on a walk and get more plants, and let’s never apologize for asking for help and being let down by medical school

@farahrahman23 @KMirza This is literally getting me through / teaching me positive self talk

@KMirza & do *not* get me started on how great our very own @KMirza is. I just sound like a broken record at this point

Still not over how Dr. Sattar (1.) redefines and supplements medical education across this whole country & (2.) redefines and challenges people's perceptions of Islam & Muslims He is literally the backbone of modern-day society lol

“And part of being Black and being a woman in this country is that, even when you’re very successful, you just don’t control the terms of your success. My success is always limited by how well other people can imagine the possibility of me.” nytimes.com/2021/04/13/opi…

@ElizabethMD15 Thank you so much for sharing this, wouldn’t have seen it!

Dr. Martin Tobin, a pulmonologist at Loyola, a man for others. I hope his testimony helps bring justice. George Floyd was murdered.

@BrittGratreak This story keeps getting better! 🎉🎉

Taking a lil break from lab things and saw my phone had a message from Twitter about how to set up a notification filter because I was getting so many... thank you all for your support and congratulations today, you made this day extra magical for me. 🥺✨

@BrittGratreak @drjoan20 I relate so much to this, compassion and spite. What a hero. Congrats on passing!!

@drjoan20 It's a cocktail of compassion and PURE SPITE

I JUST GOT MY STEP 1 SCORE BACK. I AM SCREAMING, MUTED ON ZOOM. THIS IS THE STORY OF MY LIFE. I'M SO HAPPY! I PASSED! I DID IT! I DID IT WITHOUT ACCOMMODATIONS I HAVE NEEDED FOR THE PAST 7 YEARS BECAUSE OF ABLEISM IN MEDICINE (with accommodations I would have done so much better)

very hopeful progress on an mRNA vaccine for HIV that primes young B cells that can make broadly neutralizing antibodies. vaccines for the win in 2021!
