I wonder if people realize how much actual medical knowledge genetic counselors acquire. We are not only trained in genetics, ethics and counseling, but also the biological underpinnings and etiology of disease. #cancer#heartdisease@4Genetics
Just a reminder that if you have the means to buy your kids big ticket items for Christmas consider giving them from yourself, not Santa.
Kids talk and not everyone can afford what you can.
I high key love MDs who are like #2. The more info I can get about my patient, the better! Plus can give me insight to their mental health and how they’re coping and handling treatment and who else in the family might be involved #GCchat

Chapter 1 of 20: The beginning
Ms S was born under a waning Ares moon in the year 1945. Her APGAR scores were 8 and 9. She attended grade school in a lovely brick building 3 blocks down the street...
As as new grad GC this was the first time I’ve attended NSGC in person and I had such an amazing time! So many interesting talks and many things I need to go back and watch online. I am exhausted (take Monday off next time, future me) but it was well worth it #GCchat#NSGC22
@JuCooCGC Had patients bright and early ar 8:15 this morning and my plane didn’t land until 10:30 last night. Promptly fell asleep for 2 hrs on my couch after work today 😅
Such a heartfelt story about the journey to a child’s 22q diagnosis this morning in the sponsored @NateraGenetics session ❤️ pulls on my prenatal GC heartstrings. It’s more common than we previously thought and makes a big impact on patients and their families #NSGC22
#NSGC22 attendees (esp students/new grads), heres a reminder that you don’t need to go to everything & don’t forget to take time to rest & recharge, it’s a long conference! I didn’t sign up for a PM workshop today and took a (much needed) nap - don’t burn yourself out!
Very interesting sponsored breakfast session by @BillionToOneInc about their single gene NIPT utility and performance. As a prenatal counselor I’m all for proving patients with non invasive options that can give them as much info as possible #NSGC2022#NSGC22
@DenaSWinchester @Kelsie_McVeety Lol yeah when I worked in research we had those giant PPD (or other similar labs) styrofoam shipping boxes for samples too lol. They took up SO much space to store and I felt so awkward when we had to mail them out
@Kelsie_McVeety @lizmizerik Lol husband and I are the same way.
together for 6 years before we got married and lived together for 4.5 of them. only thing that changed from one day to the next was that we had a party with friends/family. Few days later we went back to our typical routines haha
@KATCGC Also hot damn, $500/month sounds painful 😩 I pay $40/mo total for my husband and I (high deductible plan) and I’m grateful/privileged that we’re young, healthy people with few healthcare needs
@KATCGC Parents came to visit me when I was studying abroad in Spain and my dad got an abscessed tooth. I think his total bill for his dentist visit was like $150, would have been like $1800 in the US. He joked that he should go on vacation every time he needs dental work
@CanadianKayMD Some mocktails the bar my husband works at are :
- lemon lime soda, simple syrup, and your choice of flavored syrup (cherry, blueberry, blackberry, etc)
- club soda, berry syrup
- a mojito w/pineapple juice sans the alcohol (mint, simple syrup, pineapple juice, club soda
