@JJWatt This should be taken just as seriously as concussions. Assuming there were important convos had between @JJWatt and his medical team, but one of those conversation MUST have been about anticoagulation (blood thinners). Since he played, I can only assume he declined. Big no-no!

If the vaccine had a 50% chance of causing back pain/broken limb, I’d understand the blatant refusal. Even worse when you incentive me with free @krispykreme donuts. But dare me to climb up 6ft of wobbly crates for $10 & some Bubblicious gum and Im all in! #MilkCrateChallenge 🙄

When someone recommends you to someone else, know that you are not only representing yourself… you’re also representing the person who referred you. Act accordingly.

(1/x) Last night the #MedPeds21 group chat was rocked with news of a sudden change in program leadership for the MedPeds residency at Tulane University. Dr. Dennar, the first Black female program director at Tulane, was no longer PD.

Thank you @realDonaldTrump . In a year where we had sooo much doubt about whether social & health injustices even exist, or if race and socioeconomic class inequities were a real thing, or whether “privilege” was an overused term... you’ve made it crystal clear. Preciate it!

[Dr. Merije “MJ” Chukumerije @DrMerije]

Excited for #ACCAthleticHeart

If you are not black, and you are “silent” in this unprecedented time... We hear you loud and clear.
