"When I decided to become a surgeon, there were many who tried to convince me otherwise and others who tried to create obstacles to hinder my training and development. I began to doubt whether, as an Indian American woman, I truly belonged in this field.” (1/3)

How do patients and surgeons perceive facelift scars? Our study in @ThiemePlasticS addresses these nuances so patient & their surgeons can develop common surgical priorities. @DrKontis @NinaLuMD @AAFPRS @hopkins_ent

This study by @AnishaKumarMD et al analyzes the perception of the #rhytidectomy #scar from the perspective of #cosmetic patients and surgeons:

“Gun control works on gun violence as surely as antibiotics do on bacterial infections,” Adam Gopnik wrote, in 2012. “The more guns there are in a country, the more gun murders and massacres of children there will be.” https://t.co/H3ZmFxN2vW

#PaulFarmer was an icon in blending the fields of anthropology and medicine. After taking his class at #Harvard I was inspired to pursue my thesis in medical anthropology.
