@DrRissman@lizmizerik And I appreciate your perspective. It sounds like maybe I need to start asking if it’s ok to call folks that and clearly communicate why I would do it!
@lizmizerik@DrRissman As a NICU parent, I appreciated it because I felt like it reinforced that I was a mom, even if I didn’t feel like one yet. I do it with my patients’ parents now for the same reason.
@AfibWithRiver One of our attendings recently told me she keeps a journal, where she writes a letter to each patient who dies under her care, and thanks them for the things they taught her. I’ve decided to start doing it too.
I HATE when ppl are like “they took out the student loans and expect tax payers to cover them?” SIR these people are skilled professionals & I GUARANTEE you utilize their services. Good luck when there’s no healthcare providers/scientists/etc bc they can’t afford to go to school
Listen. The amount of mind Olympics Kamala has to do to not come across as angry, emotional, combative but also be firm, warm, honest, direct ...all while this mf’er is straight up lying and gaslighting her.
Whew. The strength and the talent of Black women.
I’m a doctor and there have been times when I have been unable to navigate the complexities of American health care. My kids were on oxygen for a year, but they exhausted their oxygen benefits after 6 months. How does one “figure” that out?
