Well, many failed exams later, I’m finally a licensed doctor.

Don’t give up on your dreams kids.

I refuse to give up. I don’t care how many exams I fail.

I will become a doctor.

MY MOM JUST CALLED ME AND SAID LOOK OUT YOUR WINDOW AND SHE CAME TO WAVE FROM OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE NO ONE CAN COME IN 🥺🥺😭

Dear Medical Students and Foundation Doctors: If you managed to find the cat, and took great pleasure in doing so, perhaps you might like to consider a career in Radiology

[Colleen Farrell, MD @colleenmfarrell]

@ava hi @ava! First, I'm a huge fan. Thanks for all you do. One of the foundational texts in biomedical ethics (Beauchamp and Childress 1979) lays out 4 principles of ethics: autonomy, beneficence (do good), nonmaleficence (do no harm), and justice. 1/

Kinda surreal when the President starts accusing your 75 yr old friend of being an agent of ANTIFA.

My friend Martin Gugino is an old man with cancer who is now in the hospital with brain damage after being pushed to the ground by a police officer he was trying to talk to.

I honestly was not expecting the president to go with ‘the old man bleeding out of his head on the sidewalk in Buffalo had it coming’ and that’s on me. I should’ve known.

When I told my medical school appointed advisor that I was in my second term of being our medical school class president- "It's so hard being a white male in medicine now that they are giving away our leadership spots to people like you" #BlackintheIvory

#BlackintheIvory is when a history teacher brings me in front of the class, closes the door, and says to the class:

“Reuben, you’re a big strong guy, you would have been the perfect slave”

I told student admin. They didn’t believe me. Nothing happened to her

#BlackintheIvory is being called a terrorist and the N-word by patients and being told it’s unprofessional to report that. It’s being told “you’re here to serve patients and learn, stop complaining.”

Shaving my face really makes me look like a high schooler again

One video from my archives. An 8y child was refd for sigmoidoscopy from a pediatric unit. 3 mth Hx of dysentery, anaemia and stunting. We put the scope in and look what we found!

I don’t know who needs to hear this but changing your mind as a result of new information or perspectives doesn’t make you a hypocrite. It makes you a thoughtful person.

When assessing #medical trainees we often love name-brand med schools/high board scores. Must remember that not everyone has advantage of background/$$ to get in and pay $$ for test prep. To me, HOW and WHY you got where you are is important too. #DiversityandInclusion #MedEd
