@NidaKirmani I wish they would simply refer to themselves as allies. Anytime a desi bloke refers to himself as a ‘feminist’, it’s almost like an automatic red flag 🚩 in my mind! I’m aware of my own bias against them.
@NidaKirmani@oye_New_Bie Don’t get me started! Daleem is the term arbi wannabes use for Haleem! The Allah hafiz brigade! The ones who get tenesmus if someone bids them khuda hafiz. The nasty AF followers of Farhat Hashmi.
@madihasyed182 The movie did not have a celebratory tone whatsoever. It is a beautiful biopic of a man who eventually hated what he had created. It is cinematic brilliance and I hope sweeps the Oscars come spring of 2024
@NidaKirmani This ends up being a huge reason for so many desi folks who move to the west to be very miserable because they don’t know how to keep house. Cooking and maintaining a home are basic life skills. It’s that simple.
This little Afghani girl has more wisdom than so many so called educated people. Her thought process puts many intellectuals and religious apologists to shame.
The world needs less Mullahs and more girls like her. She is a force to be reckoned with. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@NidaKirmani It’s a biopic of Robert J Oppenheimer. The entire story is about him. I hope it sweeps the Oscars come spring 2024. It is pure cinematic brilliance.
In light of @ACCinTouch recent leadership decision, I just want to reiterate my appreciation for @ACPIMPhysicians who seem to mostly have physicians’ best interest at heart.
I had the great honor of meeting with President @RyanMire1 last week. He was a couple minutes late to our meeting because HE WAS SEEING PATIENTS AND TEACHING NEW INTERNS.
THAT’s who I want representing me in a large professional organization. Kudos on a great run and continuing your oath to take care of your patients and community, while also leading one of the largest medical societies is in the world.
Notice anything about credentials below? Important to have true advocacy from those who are in the fight every day. I hope we continue to support and elevate great PHYSICIAN leaders everywhere!
It never fails to annoy me that for the most part, being a desi atheist/agnostic/so called liberal bloke while belonging to the baby boomer generation or Gen X is synonymous with being a tharki and having the most cringetastic sense of humour!
Lot of thoughts on this one…
I’ve worked with some absolutely amazing nurses in my life, they are truly the lifeblood of healthcare and keep everything moving.
But the good ones I know all beleive this is bonkers.
The best analogies (some are painfully real…) I’ve seen:
- This is like flight attendant leading the Pilots association
- Paralegal chairing the American Bar Association
- Pet groomer leading American Veterinary Association
- Health insurance executive with zero patient interaction experience in their life becoming CEO of a primary care org (sigh 😔)
- CVS cashier as president of American Pharmacists Association
- Brick layer leading the American Institute of Architecture
These are all (well, most) ESSENTIAL individuals in the ecosystem, I’m not taking away at all from their impact in society.
But for an RN to LEAD an organization of some of the most highly trained physicians on earth is just so…. emblematic of how low we’ve allowed our profession to go.
If @ACPIMPhysicians ever elected a non-internal medicine trained physician as President, I would immediately cancel my membership and raise hell.
Glad to see so many cardiologists pushing back here. We need to take back the heart and soul of our profession!
What other ridiculous analogous examples can you all think of?? @CMichaelGibson
@madihasyed182 This chik Rameena represents the mindset of majority musalmaan aurtain. This is why the ideology hasn’t gone through any renaissance whatsoever for over fourteen hundred years now. When being a second class citizen/doormat is revered, how the hell can they be anything but!
@wbaker0621 I hope you’re laughing when someone who is not a physician and has never been through an actual fellowship and years of training in cardiology, does a procedure on your loved one. Do share that in a tweet as well.
@RIDICULO_pathy We are our worst enemies and we keep proving this time and again! This is as frigging screwed up as it can be! Shame on all those who supported this asinine decision. I’m so pissed!
