So I have been pronouncing @taylorswift13#ErasTour like “Electronic Residency Application Service® (ERAS),”which is wrong. Eras makes far more sense. Thankfully this was mostly in my head.
This is my dear friend, Nakita.
Nakita and I were medical school classmates and both interns in New York City. Nakita tragically took her own life on May 26.
She is such a beautiful soul. She was so fun to be around. She was intelligent, charismatic, and confident. (1/x)
"As with any art, a tool (even a powerful one) is truly beneficial when in the hands of the practitioner who understands context and application...the fetal imager must know their diagnostic tools, know their patients, and be adept at the pairing of one with the other."
If you are in Medical school or planning on going to Medical school
And you would not provide medical care because someone is gay or trans or whatever
Go into finance
Or anything else
Medicine is not for you
Not loving this system where men you've never heard of get to use powers they don't have to ban health care they don't need based on claims they can't prove
GTC ADVOCACY ALERT!
Please take a moment this week to call Governor Holcomb at 317-232-4567 and ask him to veto SB480. There is no option to leave a voicemail with his office so you have to call between 8-5 M-F. Please see the next tweet for some sample language.
I love medicine, I love patients, and I love what I do. But the fact of the matter is that #medicine / #surgery are interventions to address illness and disease. We need help w/ social, political and economic reforms to address the issues that got patients to this state of illness.
The Indiana Senate today passed a blatantly unconstitutional bill denying certain gender-affirming care for incarcerated trans Hoosiers, placing their health at risk.
This discriminatory bill would deny this care based solely on the fact that they are transgender.
BREAKING: The Indiana legislature has passed a horrific bill banning gender-affirming health care for trans youth. SB 480 is on its way to Governor Holcomb, and we urge him to veto it.
If this dangerous bill is signed into law, we will defend the rights of trans youth in court.
@INSenateGOP is actively trying to harm children. And @GovHolcomb has a responsibility to protect them and veto this bill..
We can't do our jobs if you won't do your's.
as a doctor, our first job is to do no harm. And while it seem simple, it involves juggling medicine and empathy on a daily basis. It's even harder when @INSenateGOP try to pass #senatebill480 which causes us to do direct harm to children
my DEI education has been more useful in residency than half of what I learned in my first semester of med school. Go @IUMedSchool, can't believe I used fox in my twitter
