@WrayCharles Medicine is not and should not be just a job. Boundaries between personal life and professional life are necessary, but medicine is a calling.
Every transplant we do, every life saved, arises from the bravery of a donor and their family in the midst of incredible tragedy. It is an honor to be part of the #transplant community and witness this generosity every day.

@EKing719 As a surgeon I’m perplexed. A facial laceration on a child, especially a female child, should be addressed by plastics or the face service. That was how it was where I trained. The ER doctors on this thread would call plastics for their own children.
@mahad_minhas I agree the problem of less residency spots and more competition is a huge problem. Especially, exaggerated by PDs that only look at scores. Still as a fellowship director fit was the most important variable.
@mahad_minhas I do it to learn more about the applicant. If program doesn’t rank/match you because of BLM or social views that program is probably a bad fit. The program is saving you pain because residency would just be miserable.
@mahad_minhas I 100% check resident/fellow/faculty social media before I interview them. If you don’t want to talk about it don’t post it. Also, it’s a great ice breaker and let’s people see you as more than just a number or test score.
@BlackFemNeuro This should be the norm, although I do believe interns call senior residents first. Everyone is a valuable member of the team. In a few short years you will be an attending, it is our job to prepare you. Part of the preparation is modeling professionalism and collegiality.
