Bad advice sounds like: If I were you, I would have felt SOOO ashamed of myself for not recognizing this thing under the microscope. You are “overconfident�� ..

•الدليل النحوي: كُتبت الكلمة في المصحف بالتنوين (مِصْرًا)، ولو أُريد بها بلد "مصر" لكانت ممنوعة من الصرف (دون تنوين: مِصْرَ) كما في قوله تعالى: {وَقَالَ الَّذِي اشْتَرَاهُ مِنْ مِصْرَ} أو {ادْخُلْ مِصْرَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ آمِنِينَ} (في سورة يوسف). تفسير الطبري

تفسير الآية: {..فَادْعُ لَنا رَبَّكَ يُخْرِج لَنَا مِمَّا تُنْبِتُ الْأَرْضُ مِنْ بَقْلِهَا وَقِثَّائِهَا وَفُومِهَا وَعَدَسِهَا وَبَصَلِهَا قَالَ أَتَسْتَبْدِلُونَ الَّذِي هُوَ أَدْنَى بِالَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ اهْبِطُوا مِصْراً فَإِنَّ لَكُمْ مَا سَأَلْتُمْ} (سورة البقرة، الآية 61)

•"اهْبِطُوا مِصْراً": المراد بـ "مِصْرًا" هنا -في جمهور تفاسير العلماء كابن جرير الطبري وابن كثير- هو مصرٌ من الأمصار (أي بلداً من البلدان أو قريةً من القرى)، وليس المقصود تحديداً "دولة مصر" المعروفة.

Medical training is notorious for chewing up brilliant minds when they are at their most human. A bad day, a devastating phone call, and a predatory evaluator do not erase years of demonstrated competence.

#Imposter_syndrome convinces high-achieving people that their successes are flukes and their failures are proof of their fraudulence.

In an educational environment, weaponizing somebody’s vulnerability is a form of psychological scapegoating.

@JMGardnerMD Beautiful cartwheel pattern. Thank you for sharing this.

A safe pathologist knows that behind every slide is a person waiting for the truth—making precision, clinical correlation, and rigorous quality control the ultimate acts of patient care. 🔬✨ #Pathology #PatientSafety #MedEd

I found these types of giant cells in my prayer mat 😂

An interesting example of exuberant (but benign!) perineuronal satellitosis of glial cells around neurons, originally described by Ramón y Cajal. This feature is recapitulated by neoplastic glial cells in infiltrating gliomas, as described by Hans Joachim Scherer. #neuropath 🧠
