“The children at Dilley with whom I’ve worked over the past year range in age from 2 to 16 years old. They are citizens of Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Colombia, Honduras and Russia. A 2-year-old boy was breastfeeding in detention. One 6-year-old boy had leukemia. An 8-year-old girl

"How do I train a physician to be better than the bot?"

In total d/t the Trump administration JHU stands to lose 1 billion dollars in funding.
JHU isn’t perfect, but I don’t think I would be a doctor today if I didn’t have the opportunity to do medical research via NIH funded grants.
So disappointing

@adamcifu Seems like a good time to re-share this:

@doc_khan454 @drkeithsiau @EmoryGastroHep Appreciate the close look.
Had this sent to so many fellows and docs alike wasn’t spotted. Now I wonder if any of them actually read it. 😂
Well in the end not much beats an ‘X’ Peer review.

With a budget of ~$47.4B, the NIH is by far the biggest supporter of biomedical research worldwide.

3. Let your thoughts change your reality

Your inner dialogue affects everything. You can change the conversation.

• Analyze your thoughts

• Are you happy with your thoughts? Or do they sound like a conversation with a madman?

Every extraordinary goal and outcome in life starts as a tiny seed in the mind.
