Having a difficult time putting into words the feeling I had when I left the hospital after doing chest compressions on a coding young person who lost their fight with COVID, to see a normal packed Friday night at bars and restaurants...

Among OB/GYN practices in LA County managed #Medicaid networks, fewer than 1 in 10 reachable clinics provided abortion care, and most imposed early gestational limits or out-of-pocket costs, contrary to state law.

@olsonplanner @MOHELA I had the same problem! Took me >4 months to fix. What worked best for me was uploading a copy of my diploma on the Mohela website (under the add supporting documents tab) and calling their customer service line to let them know the deferment was in error/ I had proof

Trying to consolidate my student loans and get on an income driven repayment plan has been an absolute nightmare!!!! Constantly cycled between my medical school, MOHELA, and AidVantage with no answers or resolution

@celeste_yergin @olsonplanner @UFMedicine This happened to me as well! Soooo frustrating

Oh you’re going to a teaching hospital in July? Well get ready…

for the most compassionate care from extremely empathetic interns along with their vigilant supervising attendings. Hope you like open ended questions and doctors listening to you bc you’re gonna drown in it.

Mackenzie Bennett, MD/MPH. Took me 5 years to earn those 5 letters and I am so grateful to my loved ones for believing in me (even when I didn’t), my mentors for exemplifying the kind of doctor I want to be, and Emory SOM for the privilege to care for Atlanta👩🏼‍⚕️💜🫶🏻

[Kimberly D. Manning, MD, MACP @gradydoctor]

What a privilege to spend 3.5 hours (!) with these extraordinary @EmoryMedicine M4s at our Physicians as Storytellers Capstone workshop! We wrote, we laughed, we cried, we listened, we shared. I am so, so fortunate to get to do this every year. So grateful to all who signed up!🙏🏽

West coast best coast?! Thrilled to be heading to Cedars-Sinai for my OBGYN residency! ☀️🩺🌴

[Molly O'Neil, DO @mowwyjane]

medicine is hard and the match process is absolutely brutal. if you went #unmatched and are participating in #SOAP23 #SOAP2023 and need an anonymous listening ear that gets it, call the Physician Support Line. they’ll listen, talk you through whatever, and help

[Mackenzie Bennett, MD (she/her) @Dr_MBennett]

Over the moon!! Feeling so grateful for all the mentorship, support, and love that got me here. I’m going to be an OBGYN 🥹 #Match2023 #obgyntwitter

Atlanta has the highest income inequality in the US; our jails are wildly overcrowded and deadly; we have only ONE level 1 trauma hospital; our streets are a mess; we have an unchecked housing crisis. And what do residents get? A playground for the armed forces killing Atlantans.

Since submitting my rank list I’ve started a ClassPass trial and tried hot yoga, acrobatic yoga, hatha yoga, kickboxing, solidcore, yoga nidra… and have spenga tomorrow 🫠

@mowwyjane My city is a delta hub and I have the Delta Skymiles gold amex and really like it! I’ve been able to pay for several flights with miles alone from the bonus/ it’s easy to earn miles. The card fee has paid for itself several times over

[Mackenzie Bennett, MD (she/her) @Dr_MBennett]

can’t stop pulling up my rank list again and again and just staring at it in a state of florid angst

[Mackenzie Bennett, MD (she/her) @Dr_MBennett]

The most unrealistic part of Grey’s Anatomy is the surgeons carpooling into work while the sun is already up
