@DejahJudelson I just found out they are not playing the “Bangles”

I think I know what the residents call me behind my back:

[Shirlene Obuobi MD @shirleneobuobi]

Non medical folks: i could never go into the healthcare field; I can’t stand the sight of blood

Me, nodding sagely , knowing that blood isn’t even in the top 5 of worst bodily fluids

@jendavidsmd @UMASSColorectal @KarimAlavi @justinmaykel @PRSturrock @JanetMcD3 @TessAulet I am grateful for @UMASSColorectal!

@YaleADM Ooooo. This looks good!

I support safe consumption sites because I believe in evidence-based medicine & science-based policies. #sifmanow #trustscience #endstigma

[SIFMA NOW @SIFMA_NOW]

💜TAKE ACTION & SAVE LIVES💜

8K people in MA died of OD since initial supervised consumption site legislation was filed in 2017

EVERY OVERDOSE DEATH IS A POLICY FAILURE!

Support #SIFMANOW bills at 9/27 hearing & demand #MApoli say #YestoSCS!

@GhanaboyPharmd Oh god. I couldn’t hate this title more.

@ZachWritesStuff In early years, all surgeons had was an expert opinion based on flawed rat models. Plenty of real-life studies have shown bup CAN and SHOULD be continued and pain control can be achieved with a very modest increase to standard amts of pain meds. (Ob/Gyn & addiction Med)

Keep an eye out, folks. Have seen increased number of ulcers lately & worry this is the cause.

@MiamiHerald That’s not how fentanyl works.

@DrDeepali_M Also this meme is helpful the first five years out: https://t.co/sGW0JSbftX

[Steve Carroll DO MEd @embasic]

@JessWernerMD Every attending ever...

At 7 years out of residency I still feel this way

[Katherine Callaghan @kmcallaghan]

@DrDeepali_M I still feel bad parking in the “physician parking” spots. 😁

@coreysdavis I adore my job (Ob/Gyn and Addiction Med)! But the regulatory hassles and inequities due to misogyny and stigma are worth bitching about. The more I learn, the more I feel advocacy & educating others is part of the job. Including speaking up on Twitter.

[Katherine Callaghan @kmcallaghan]

@tdbrothers @DrSarahWakeman @CMAJ Wonderful thread. Thank you for the CME!
