@MarshaBlackburn You should know better than anyone else that no issue in government can be reduced to a yes or no question. Shame on you for cornering me for a political tweet. I had faith in you and your service to the state of TN.

WATCH LIVE: On the 9th anniversary of #DACA and 20 years after @SenatorDurbin introduced the original Dream Act, Chair Durbin holds the second-ever hearing on protections for Dreamers & TPS holders. These Americans are counting on Congress to #LetThemDream https://t.co/UB8OgXwUoF

[Manuel Bernal, MD @ManuelBernalMD]

Had the amazing opportunity to take part of the American legislative process today. Society has given me a platform as a physician and will continue to use it to advocate for rights of not only DACA recipients but all immigrants. @JudiciaryDems @SenateDems @SenateGOP #DreamAct

Proud of my numero uno. A great doctor and future surgeon in the making!

Honored to be named surgical intern of the year. Intern year has been such an intense time of personal and professional growth as a future surgeon. #internyear #movingonup #uicgeneralsurgery @uicgensurg

I’m with RBG.  RT if you are too.

[Manuel Bernal, MD @ManuelBernalMD]

RBG saved DACA and thus saved my career as an ER doc. An unswevering commitment to justice for all. #RIPRBG #SCOTUS #ERDoc #DACA

Great M+M today from @ManuelBernalMD who reminds us

- beware the “hallway patient” bias 🛌
- South side = Nec Fasc Capitol of the world 🌎
- the utility of posterior EKGs ❤️

And most importantly, spoil your dogs 🐕

insightful (and at times incredible) presentation today from
@DavidBarounis reflecting on our first COVID surge at ACMC and lessons for the future (1/4)

Far too many have suffered. Far too many have attended funerals and tried to start the process of healing entire communities following another senseless tragedy. When a person picks up a gun, we suffer as a city. This cannot be who we are.

[Kevin Smith @Kbotulinum]

There's a common misconception that resident physicians are trained exclusively by attending physicians. I don't know about y'all, but I learn just as much from pharmacists, nurses, techs, lab, everybody. Believe me, it takes a village. @ACMCEM #ChristEM

[Manuel Bernal, MD @ManuelBernalMD]

Almost all skin diseases we learned about in medical school were taught in the context of white skin. No doubt this has propagated racial disparities in our healthcare system. It is up to us to change this. Props to this medical student for leading this change. #HealthForAll

[Malone @malone_mk]

“But what will it look like on darker skin?”- A question I’ve often asked myself during my time at medical school

This constant cerebration led me to curate a handbook that presents clinical features on darker skin. I hope this resource shifts the culture of medical education.

BREAKING: There's an inexpensive treatment that can reduce transmission of #COVID19 by up to 85%. It's called wear the damn mask.

It's an honor to be featured in an op-ed piece by @SenatorDurbin. The fight continues to #defendDACA. All eyes on you Mr. @POTUS... #homeishere https://t.co/rLCmJzsbe8

The Supreme Court’s #DACA ruling this morning is considered a tremendous victory -- and news that many were anxiously awaiting.

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

Today I was honored to stand with @RepChuyGarcia and #DACA recipients -- many of whom have been working as essential health care workers during this crisis -- to discuss establishing a path to citizenship for #Dreamers. #HomeIsHere

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Dreamers are Americans. Period.

[Manuel Bernal, MD @ManuelBernalMD]

Been very guarded these past few weeks awaiting a #SCOTUS decision regarding #DACA. What a relief, for now at least. SCOTUS on the right side of history. Now back to caring for patients. #ERDoc #Undocumented #HeretoStay #Dreamers #laluchasigue
