I spent 3 weeks in Ghana on a surgical elective and learned a few lessons that shook and have shaped my thinking moving forward.

I will like to petition the @GhanaMinistry of health about covering cervical cancer screening and HPV VACCINE under the national health insurance.

@UPS All Is
Well in the universe again 🙏🏾

The wedding squad package was found !!

The marriage certificate, well that’s gone forever but we’ve moved on.

[Louisa E. Appiah Agbenyega, MD, MS @Leappiah]

@UPS I need to get in touch with your leadership. Within a period of 2 months:
1. You lost my marriage certificate in the mail
2. Now you’ve lost an entire wedding party’s clothing in a big package. You have 1 week to recover this. I’m asking nicely now.

[Louisa E. Appiah Agbenyega, MD, MS @Leappiah]

@WhitneyMelvinMD Hahaha I mostly share with you

“Anxiety and depression harm academic performance and promote underachievement.
Learning is often hampered because depression and anxiety can impair working memory, making it difficult to remember new knowledge and recall past experiences.”

My attending said something that resonated deeply with me:

Being a good doctor means having a good depth of knowledge and ability to address and explain your patient’s concerns clearly.

That is my goal for this next year.

I didn’t realize the mental gymnastics my immigrant brain would have to through transitioning from the language of medicine to the American way of expression every day especially with my patients.

The face of someone who got to refill her cup with friends and family. Wellness is soo key in residency.

Researchers who study Type 2 diabetes have reached a stark conclusion: There is no device or drug powerful enough to counter the effects of poverty, pollution, stress, a broken food system, cities that aren't walkable, and inequitable access to healthcare. https://t.co/aQUve1pQW1

I recommended Dominicana by Angie Cruz to my program director to get her feedback before suggesting it to our book club. She told me she enjoyed reading it on vacay and thinks it will be a good addition!

@DrKarleneCunni1 @shirleneobuobi Hi Dr. C! Yes it is!

[Louisa E. Appiah Agbenyega, MD, MS @Leappiah]

Also just finished reading On Rotation by @shirleneobuobi !!!!
I loved it! Found my self smiling the entire time- mostly because I found myself relating and also my mom’s name is Dorothy Appiah, and she’s a wiz in the kitchen 😁

[Louisa E. Appiah Agbenyega, MD, MS @Leappiah]

@shirleneobuobi I love it!

[Louisa E. Appiah Agbenyega, MD, MS @Leappiah]

I’m curious about how “random” the TSA random screening is. I fly way too much to be “randomly” screened every other time I fly.

My husband thinks I should start wearing a full suit or “medical wear” to the airport. Lol
