@ScottMGreer I'm sorry. The un-American thing is actually humoring. You realize doctors treat patients, for example, who've committed murders, yes? Are all doctors who treat murderers un-American and consequently disgusting?!
@ScottMGreer So what about the racial topics of 2020 and the cops who've wrongly killed people of color for minding their business. That's a grown-ass MAN shooting someone. That's an ADULT. Plenty of un-Americans sympathizing with their murderer. Their murderers arent on death row.
@ScottMGreer 18 years old actually doesn't mean you're an adult. Laws decided that 18 means you're an adult. Men's frontal cortexes aren't even fully developed until mid-later 20
s( I can cite for you). 18 years isn't necessarily a child (4-13+ years old), but is absolutely not an adult.

Strong words! The field of #Neurosurgery has the power to lead by example. The struggle that I & other black physicians alike share is REAL. With the white coat on we are questionably respected. With the white coat off we are undoubtedly questioned! Let's dismantle the prejudice!
Great list as MS4s head into their intern year! Write your own list throughout the year. Your views will change throughout residency and it may be difficult to capture your authentically “intern self” once the moment has passed.
This 83 year old woman holds a sign that says “Defend black voices” as the marchers walk by and cheer for her. “I’m so proud of you young people,” she says.
@AbouS_K This is v inspiring. Some of my classmates and I are drafting up an action plan and plan to meet with admin.... our institution has been completely silent. Thank you so much for speaking up and being an example of strength for other student leaders to do the same.
#MedTwitter let's talk about how systemic racism and white supremacy are perpetuated in medical education.
