Hey #MedTwitter anyone here who does prison medicine who wants a mentee/student/etc?

All of the residency programs at my university met with GME to ask for increases in resident pay because we make far below what’s needed for the current COL, and they sent out resources to food pantries

It's been almost a year since the #Buffalo blizzard claimed the lives of 47+ community members. I spoke with victims' families and loved ones for the past couple of weeks and all of them said the same thing: No one in City Hall has acknowledged their loved one or their pain.

@jtrebach I am so so so grateful to you for making this post. I have shared this technique (via screenshots bc credit) with every student I tutor and it works for them every single time. thank you for making med ed more accessible :) <3

After taking tons of tests over the years, I have honed a study technique that works well for me. And hopefully, it works for you too! A thread on the study technique that got me through med school, residency, fellowship, and one of the hardest board exams I’ve ever taken:🧵📚

I love how the AMA turns off comments for posts they always wanted to make, but knew there would be backlash about because the physicians section doesn't care about healthcare for all or resident work hours

Story after story after story. It's my life's work, my purpose and my passion, but sometimes, i just can't read another... Your fitness, your notariety, your income, your education and still at risk #maternalhealth #healthdisparities #preeclampsia usatoday.com/story/sports/o…

This #Pride month, we reaffirm that the movements for Reproductive Justice and LGBTQ+ rights are bound together as we demand our right to bodily autonomy. We must fight for the rights of queer, Black Texans so that we can ALL have the power to make decisions about our bodies 🌈

Empty words about new commitments are simply not enough. We're fighting for a seat at the table and we won't be satisfied with anything less. #UnionStrong #MassGeneralBrigham

MGB keeps telling us that they are listening, but after months of captive audience meetings, emails, 1-1s and videos, it's obvious that THEY DO NOT HEAR US.

The residents and fellows of @MassGenBrigham are on day TWO of voting in our NLRB election, and to mark the occasion, we wanted to share a taste of the relentless union-busting we've faced since fall of 2022.🙃

pyogenic granulomas have the dumbest fucking name of anything in medicine. it's NOT a granuloma and it DOESN'T PRODUCE PUS WHYYYYYY

@RisetteMD you look lovely! That hairstyle frames your face in a super cute and very feminine way :)

I am additionally endlessly grateful for organizations like the Loveland foundation who helped find her therapy with someone who understands her pain.

I’m always grateful to be with providers who don’t look like me, and it was even more encouraging to have a Black woman attending physician who (rightfully) kicked me out of the room to chat with our patient

cw: anti black violence One patient lives in my head rent free. A middle aged woman who accidentally ODd on Benadryl trying to sleep through nightmares of her son being lynched like Emmett Till. He’s a gay man living in South Carolina, I can understand her fear.

The further I get into med ed, the more I find myself saying “what the fuck is wrong with doctors” THE ANSWER IS MED ED

[THREAD]: whenever i see a tweet talking about trans surgery, how unnecessary and tragic and butchering it is, i think about how i quit smoking.

Many healthcare providers love talking about the Hippocratic oath. “Do no harm”…But there are a number that forget that actions and words are just as important as not physically injuring a patient. Doing no harm means using the right pronouns and the name people want to be

To appropriately test medical learners on their ability to apply knowledge, all tests should be OPEN BOOK but TIMED. In modern practice you can look things up but you can’t take forever to do it.
