[1st day hematology rotation]

hematologist: let’s talk about the clotting cascade

me: ok

hematologist: can you name an important factor that leads to clotting?

me: [confidently] whether or not you apply pressure to the wound

[Longhorn Stop the Bleed @LonghornStB]

It’s uncomfortable to think about how we may personally contribute to racism in the healthcare space. But that discomfort is necessary and good.

Our learning can’t end with the sciences. As lifelong learners, we can lead the way for others and do what’s right for our patients.

[Longhorn Stop the Bleed @LonghornStB]

In healthcare, our learning never stops, and that’s been especially true these last few weeks. We all must confront our role in perpetuating racism and put in the work to do better.

Do you have any resources on antiracism in healthcare that you’d like to share? Let’s talk about it!

[Dell Medical School @DellMedSchool]

Over the weekend, @ClayDellMed shared a message calling #DellMed to action to make meaningful contributions against injustice and racism, and be better than we have been before. Read his full message: https://t.co/msmRFZv1Y7

[Longhorn Stop the Bleed @LonghornStB]

While we fight for justice against systemic racism, it's important to ensure the safety of all who are protesting.
Help us spread lifesaving skills by sharing this post.

You have the ability to change and save lives.

Getting psyched for the big graduation tonight of #DellMedFirstClass. While they deserve much more pomp & circumstance, I will be celebrating dressed down but with just as much excitement and pride. Please join us at 6:30 CDT this evening at https://t.co/mMix2ejAuH @MichaelDell

We love a good meme! 😎

Improvised tourniquets are very inconsistent and take longer to apply than commercially-made devices. Stick to the battle-tested options, like CAT tourniquets. #StoptheBleed and save a life!
