Talk about worlds colliding. The orchestra from my work, @MedicalCollege, is playing at the church I attend, Wauwatosa Presbyterian Church, to raise money for the organization my friend runs, Forward Scholars!

Different kind of Memorial Day sermon today. On the screen: Every school shooting in the US. Cant even read it.😭
Our thoughts should be "what is my calling"
Our prayers should be "give me the courage"
I needed this today. #EndGunViolence

A face and arms and legs. Then pass it to your neighbor to draw the next panel! You would be amazed what you cansay with triangle and square people. #graphicmedicine #Mededchat

@debsimpson3 @aoglasser @FutureDocs @TChanMD Half my publications are comics. But they are peer reviewed! Therefore, it counts!

[Theresa Maatman @TCMaatman]

@ShreyaTrivediMD @MedEdChat That is great!

@GLBDallaghan I have a boss who needs to see the data. So I have to bring data. Here I found students and residents shared things they never shared before, while drawing comics. https://t.co/n05Dy5gg8Y

The use of comics can provide insight into the experiences of medical trainees. It gives they a safe way to bring up and talk about their experiences. #graphicmedicine #graphicdoc

I have been in the graphic medicine world and it has been a way for my students to share and talk about some of the difficult experiences they have. #graphicmedicine #graphicdoc #MedEdChat
