Every time I get hospital scrubs its the same thing: the same size is really like 5 different sizes and none of them are made for women.

Perhaps the most disheartening aspect of being a physician is that when things go wrong, the instant response is that our intentions were to harm, not help. Is this not why we become jaded?

My mom asked if I planned to find a way to shorten my last name to make it easier for people to say when I become a doctor, and I said no. 1/x

My therapist, whom I was talking to about my burnout, recommended that I take 30 minutes out of my 1 hour lunch break (which she just assumed I have) to just "do nothing." I laughed a lot. Lunch break? Doctors don't get lunch breaks. Sometimes I still forget to pee at work.

At that point of the year where just making it to work is an accomplishment 🤷🏾‍♀️

“First do no harm” is actually a great rule even if you’re not a doctor

Anyone else always feel like they are the most annoying person in the room at all times or is it just me

Who on earth decided that twenty minutes was even close to enough time to room a patient, review their med list, discuss their concerns, complete a physical exam, counsel them, and address their questions? Don’t come for my efficiency, this is a system issue #FamilyMedicine

My maternal grandad learnt how to make a WhatsApp video call at the age of 95 and he is so happy he can see people who he can't meet during the pandemic :)

Instead of the Healthcare community asking how we can get Black folks to trust us, we should instead be asking “how do we become trustworthy?”
