1/Nothing strikes fear into the heart of a radiologist like the question,“Is it safe to do an MRI on this patient w/an implanted device?”

Do questions about pacemakers & MRIs suddenly send your heart racing?

Never fear again! Here’s a thread navigating implanted devices & MRI!

Physician girl math is having the same education and training, better outcomes, fewer complications, more satisfied patients, but still being paid less than men in medicine.

@ChiamakaUche18 Oh hell no doctor!!!!!

When a critical patient develops a sudden and strong urge to move their bowels, they are about to code until proven otherwise. Trust me on this one.

@MBurt34 You should know this. *proceeds to not teach you about it*

Too many people believe racism stops once you have money. Or, worse, that income is a proxy for race.

You’re wrong.

My friend who is an RN just told me that her co-worker didn’t get approved time off for her own wedding. Wtf are we doing to our own over here in healthcare.

Congrats to @mountsinainyc resident physicians at Elmhurst Hospital who just announced they won an agreement and are ending their 3-day strike! So proud of these @cirseiu resident docs for refusing to let corporate medicine leave Queens & immigrant workers behind! #NYCDocsStrike

There is no amount of self-care or wellness that can fix a broken system.
How many more residents have to suffer?

Dr Nakita Mortimer may you rest in power and finally find peace🕊️

[Sarah Hafuth, MD @despondentMD]

@kaurjasmMS3 24 hour shifts should be illegal for residents let alone a med student.

[Kristen Gonzalez @Gonzalez4NY]

I was born in Elmhurst Hospital, it's the hospital my family still goes to for care. There's no reason that resident physicians at the hospital I was born at should make anything less than those at the hospitals I represent, and I stand with the docs at @cirseiu ✊

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Standing in solidarity with Queens doctors.

Elmhurst Hospital was the country’s COVID epicenter when the pandemic first hit. These physicians work incredibly hard for one of the most diverse working class communities in the country. They deserve wage parity and safe staffing.

[Teamsters Local 804 @804_local]

🚨STRIKE ACTION🚨

Residents at Elmhurst Hospital are on strike.

DO NOT CROSS THE PICKET LINE

👊SOLIDARITY👊

[Sarah Santiago, MD @SarahASantiago]

My husband made a comment about resident salaries that has stuck with me. After a long OB night Chief shift where I delivered 5 babies via CS (all urgent/emergent), he said “You made approx $100 that shift - that’s $20 to perform life saving surgery for those people.” #woof

[Sarah Hafuth, MD @despondentMD]

!!!!!!!! Stop treating Elmhurst residents like second class doctors !!!!!!!!!!

[Grace Meng @Grace4NY]

In Queens, we're proud to have diverse doctors! Just like many of their patients, @cirseiu doctors at Elmhurst are immigrants themselves. @mountsinainyc must respect their role in serving our community by reaching a deal with CIR and averting a #NYCDocsStrike! #QueenStrikeReady

[Sarah Hafuth, MD @despondentMD]

.@catalinacruzny @jessicaramos help @MSSNYtweet protect patient safety by opposing legislation (S.66-A/A.1262-A) that would allow psychologists without medical degrees to prescribe psychotropic medications. #ProtectPatients https://t.co/SZqPpX4Le5

It seems @IcahnMountSinai does not want to bargain in faith with a lot of us! Shame!

[Sinai Postdoctoral Organizing Committee-UAW @spocuaw]

HUGE turnout at our joint rally with @SSWUAW! Postdocs and student workers came together to urge @IcahnMountSinai to avoid further delays in bargaining and refrain from interfering with student workers right to form a union ✊✊ #StopTheStall #UnionStrong

Moonlighting is wild. You mean to tell me the same work I do normally for $12/hr is worth $75/hr if it became a moonlighting shift?
