Please don’t disparage fibromyalgia.

Well deserved and timely given Bill’s work on the NY Corona virus response with @mssnytweet committee.

[Art Fougner PGY50 @sonodoc99]

@mssnytweet Kudos to Bill Valenti MD for being named the inaugural recipient of the David Bernard Meza, III, MD Emergency Preparedness Award. Well-Deserved #Respect #Props

Wearing a mask grocery shopping is an inconvenience? Try doing it while saving lives. Try a water rescue. Try CPR in an N95.

[David Begnaud @DavidBegnaud]

This is a Puerto Rico national guardsman rescuing a young boy during flash flooding caused by the tropical event that passed over the island. This is emergency work in a pandemic. If he can wear a mask wading through flood water, we all can. Consistently

[Leanna Knight, Medical Student @Leanna_Knight1]

Some think wearing a mask is about self protection. What people are not getting is that when you choose to not wear a mask you may not be the one who dies as a consequence. Would you save a life if given the opportunity?

[Archive: Governor Andrew Cuomo @NYGovCuomo]

Wearing a mask is about respect.

It shows you stand up when it counts. It shows you have joined the battle. It shows you care about your country.

I can’t think of a more patriotic thing.

[Archive: Governor Andrew Cuomo @NYGovCuomo]

3 months ago there weren’t enough masks.

We were desperately sourcing them from all over the globe.

Now there are plenty of masks but some people don’t want to wear them.

Come on, guys.

[Dan Choi, MD, FAAOS @drdanchoi]

With the nation in crisis, you answered with courage.

Thank you, physicians.

@vtiredmedstud Would you rather be saving lives and connecting deeply with patients or partying and getting married? If anyone is throwing their lives away it’s everyone else or at least that’s my opinion

[Leanna Knight, Medical Student @Leanna_Knight1]

@That1MedStudent That is such a violation of your rights and privacy. I beleive you can make a complaint to the department of education

[Leanna Knight, Medical Student @Leanna_Knight1]

@wannabemd2023 The focus and pressure of resident selection is wrong. It causes the people who need biopsychosocial education the most to tune out @acgme

[Leanna Knight, Medical Student @Leanna_Knight1]

Atleast @NYGovCuomo has got it right

[Jeremy Faust MD MS (ER physician) @jeremyfaust]

We are a bunch of idiots.

[Leanna Knight, Medical Student @Leanna_Knight1]

Listen to Health Care Providers when determining how careful to be, not just government officials or business owners (Who is thinking about your health and not the economy or their bottom line?)

Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.

Medical students, I’m curious:

The USMLE announced the suspension of Step 2 CS on May 26.

Has anyone actually received a refund for their Step 2 CS registration fee?

(I haven’t yet heard from anyone who has...)

Also, consider language used to describe Disablity, sexual experience (M vs F vs T), and sexual orientation.

@sonodoc99 @mssnytweet @LIBMedicine @PKoiralaMDPhD This is progress

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Today reminds us that progress might be slow. It might take decades. But no matter what things might look like today, it’s always possible. Happy Pride month, everybody.

[Leanna Knight, Medical Student @Leanna_Knight1]

@CynicalDOtobe It doesn’t have to be weird, I do a show and tell technique.

‘Hi, my name is Leanna and I use they/them pronouns. How would you like me to address you?’ It creates an opening for those interested

[Leanna Knight, Medical Student @Leanna_Knight1]

@Jessica28491181 I needed some good news this June

[Leanna Knight, Medical Student @Leanna_Knight1]

This morning the Supreme Court made a landmark ruling that states employment discrimination against LGBTQ+ Folx is illegal! 🏳️‍🌈✨🏳️‍🌈✨Finally there is some real employment protection. Definitely surprised it took till 2020.
