#MedTwitter advice on how to respond to these encounters?

Patient's wife: “Where are you from?”
I clarified: “Do you mean geographically or my ethnicity?”
After she confirmed the latter, I told her Persian.
PW: “Welcome to this country!!”
Me: "Thanks"

I was born in LA.

My mother asked me if I could do a minor procedure on her ear, confirming that she has absolutely no idea what I do for a living.

[Kelsey @KelseyObGyn]

One time I said hello and introduced myself to an intubated, unconscious patient in the ICU. Someone else scoffed/giggled. I then proceeded to explain to the patient every step of the procedure we did. No regrets.

[Josh McGough, MD @joshmcgoo]

I may not be the smartest med student but at least I’m nice and always early

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

Don’t do it

[Jasmine Saeedian @JSaeedian]

‘Dr. Saeedian’ will be not just for me, but for my whole family, a reflection of the sacrifice my parents made coming to this country.

We did it together, and I’m humbled and grateful to be the first in my family ✨

[Jade Hall, MD @jadehallmd]

When the day comes, I can’t wait to introduce myself as Dr. Hall. As a first gen physician, that title means much more than most can understand. My ancestors are in that title. So are my mentors. Let’s allow for some grace when we talk about physicians taking pride in that title.

[Elizabeth - MD @TweetingDrE]

This gave me flashbacks 😭
.@DGlaucomflecken you never miss 😂

[Sarah Diamond, M.D. @sarahmdiamond]

Hilarious how my non-medical friends will glorify men on dating apps who are med students/residents because they’re ✨doctors✨ and I’m just like girl I’d rather date a crunch wrap supreme than the majority of men I went to med school with 😅

[Violeta Yammine, MBBS @VioletaYammine]

“Oh wow, you graduated from medical school, you must be so smart!!”

Me: knows that ghrelin signals for hunger because it makes the stomach go “ghr ghr” when hungry.

[Rabbi Josh Yuter @JYuter]

Request: I'd really appreciate it if people could please stop comparing Covid restrictions and requirements to the Holocaust.

Thank you.

[Jasmine Saeedian @JSaeedian]

@TaniaTorbati @GoldFdtn You go girl!!

[Carmen Simmons, M.D. @whereinmyworld]

4th year is magical.

I pulled up a chair and sat down at rounds.

[Colleen Farrell, MD @colleenmfarrell]

I get that doctors “should” encourage healthy eating but in critical care I’ve met a lot of patients who “did everything right” and still got sick or died young. Some of them are mad they didn’t enjoy life more. The ICU has made me savor life’s simple pleasures more 🤷🏼‍♀️🧁🥞🍦🍩

[Jasmine Saeedian @JSaeedian]

I’m coming home!!! Lots of happy tears- CAN’T WAIT!!!!! @KPResidencySCal

[Jasmine Saeedian @JSaeedian]

I matched!!!! Woohoo!!

[LongCutieSyndrome, DO @long_cutie]

Say you’re a first gen without saying you’re a first gen

My mom’s disappointed that I don’t know where I’m going for residency yet..

[Agnieszka Solberg MD @AgnesSolberg]

Ok Twitter, here's the deal.

I'm Polish and I married someone who is Norwegian ancestry. I'm not Jewish. But every time some white supremacist attacks me on social media (and elsewhere) I make donations to anti-hate groups.

Also, stop making fun of my nose. I like it.

[WMed @WMUMedicine]

Prior to starting their ICU rotations, students from the Class of 2021, including Rashini Jayaratne, Mekala Neelakantan, Josh Rarick, Jasmine Saeedian, and Paya Sarraf, recently completed ACLS training in the #WMed Simulation Center. Take a look #WMed2021

Remember how vaccines massively reduce symptomatic COVID-19 and (in the 3 phase 3 trials at least) eliminated severe outcomes? This is being reflected in "real world" in Israel as hospitalizations are plummeting with high mass vaccination rates.

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

Israeli vaccine data suggests Covid-19 infection rates among a group of vaccine recipients began to decrease two weeks after they received the first shot of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, offering important insights to other countries https://t.co/FArQyY3gG9

[Atul Gawande @Atul_Gawande]

Study from Israel finds rapid vax effect: After 14d from first shot, infection rates fell 33% among 200K 60+ year-olds vaccinated vs 200K not.

Of 1.7M vaccinated, just 1,127, or 0.06%, reported side effects, such as weakness, headaches, dizziness, fever, or site pain/swelling.
