I'm filled w big nerves & enormous gratitude sharing my new essay for @Slate. There's much academic discourse abt #RaceMedicine but what's most important are the lives in front of us. https://t.co/wKwMshii6B I hope you read, hope a flame-of anger, compassion, energy-is lit.

Hey. This is an essay I feel like I've been working on for 5 yrs. I'm really proud of it, & its finally out. How do we inject Critical Race Theory into #meded? What is CRT & why does it matter? I hope this is a stone that will become stairs. And then more.

Did a follow up call with a patient this morning. Gave her her #HIV lab results:

- T cell count over 1000
- Viral load undetectable

No reaction. It was expected. We spoke about other referrals before concluding .

"Anything else I can help you with?" I asked.

She paused.

@alinakung Seeing it in print is the only thanks I need, friend! Thank you for reminding us that healing is a social practice, and that our mission is incomplete unless #BLM ✊🏾

Kid was really worried about the Puppens. I told her we'd try to do what we could, but their insurance has some strange Act of God provisions, so no promises 🤷🏾‍♂️

I’m so exhausted.
One institution after another.
Story after story.
Colleague after colleague.
It’s vile and unforgivable.
I feel like we are actively going extinct.
...No, actively picked off.
