Mom, wife, hospitalist @HopkinsMedicine, s/p residency @umichmedicine and med school @GUMedicine. DC native. Former cancer researcher. Opinions are my own.
As a resident I didn’t know if I would be interested in hospital medicine because one of the things I loved most about medicine was the relationships. I was afraid I would lose that as a hospitalist because I wouldn’t have continuity or long term patients. 1/
@TheSurajKannan I think you’ll find a lot of attendings disagree and appreciate EBM/value based care. If you articulate rationale and present step wise testing approach, that’s best IMHO. Anyone can send tests, more impressive if you’re judicious.
Trump has nominated Dr. Oz as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), it's critical to prioritize expertise, integrity, and a commitment to the most vulnerable populations in healthcare.

@DrDiGiorgio No physician led practice would allow patients after hours help / advice? Whether it’s MyChart or something different, the expectations from patients of physicians is different as are our work loads.
@acweyand Also, I can consider medicine a calling/profession and not want to sacrifice my personal health or those of my loved ones for it. We signed up to be healers, not martyrs.
Grateful to the @WSJ and @tepingchen for drawing attention to this issue. It is possible to be a dedicated physician and still want work-life balance. They are not mutually exclusive. Glad to work at a place that recognizes that (@HopkinsMedicine)
Doctors for generations accepted being at the mercy of their pagers. Now, younger physicians are questioning medicine’s workaholic culture. https://t.co/9w2WjAv9dP
Dr. Gomes leading ACS rounds and walking us through pathophys / diagnosis / management of PE. Having a great time with the #Janeway crew @OslerResidency#MedEd#MedTwitter
Had a great time shadowing the GOAT (Dr. Dan Brotman) on Barker rounds today. Wonderful talk by SAR Dr. Kahl on effective diuresis. #OslerResidency#Hopkins#MedTwitter
It’s the end of the year for academic medicine and start of a new one. It was a privilege to work with some amazing future ophthalmologists and stellar crew of @OslerResidency residents this week on Brancati service along with @allenkachalia . Can’t wait to meet the new interns!
Got stuck in an elevator for 10 minutes while on my way to morning teaching rounds…what a way to start a Monday! Hopefully the rest of the week is smooth sailing from here 🤞🏻#MedTwitter
