my favorite thing is being wrapped up in a blanket and I'll tell my husband I'm snug as a bug in a rug and then he hugs me so I'm as snug as a bug in a rug in a hug

WHO confirms that a 10-month-old baby in Gaza has become paralyzed by polio. This is the first case recorded in more than 25 years.

[Sabreen /صبرىن @dakhterakhter]

The confirmed case of polio in #Gaza is of a 10 month old, a child who’d have easily been immune had they been given their regular 2,4 & 6 month polio vaccines. Instead they’ve endured a lifetime of violence & now have polio. Every pediatric org should be speaking on this loudly.

with every punch she’s delivered, Khelif knocked out every single person that denigrated her womanhood, skill & ability.

[habiba MD @mhabibaaa]

All of that to say: sex and gender is not simple. To pretend otherwise is unscientific and rooted in lack of knowledge.

[habiba MD @mhabibaaa]

Can we pls pls pls have some basic universal public education on chromosomal vs reproductive organ vs hormonal differences between sexes and how these can exist naturally in ways other than a pure dichotomy bc this online discourse is driving me insane

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Amazing

[habiba MD @mhabibaaa]

and none of this even TOUCHES the broader socialization of sex and gender and the ways different cultures impose their own ideas of what it means to be a man or woman on top of biology

[habiba MD @mhabibaaa]

nothing in medicine is apolitical and it’s a disservice to patients to believe or behave otherwise

[John Mandrola, MD @drjohnm]

It’s going to be difficult in the coming weeks but I think clinicians should try hard to stay apolitical in the public sphere. We owe it to our patients.

[Jocelyn J. Fitzgerald MD @jjfitzgeraldMD]

OB/Gyns don’t have this luxury, sorry.

I owe it to my patients to fight for their health and autonomy.

someone called me Dr. Ahmed out loud for the first time today I instinctively looked around for my dad 😭 I’m so proud to carry on his name. Literally the most hardworking, spiritual, humble person I know, the top tier Ahmed!!

[habiba MD @mhabibaaa]

introduced myself, talked extensively w/a specialist abt pt care, labs, medications while in the room, and as they left they turn to the family and go “alright now ur nurse is gonna take a look at u” 🙃🙃

[Abbey Berka, DO @AbbeyPastorelle]

Only took until my 3rd shift for my patient and their family to pull a tech aside and ask why they have not seen the doctor yet when I (the doctor) had seen and evaluated the patient and updated them and the family twice:) I love being a woman in medicine:)

[habiba MD @mhabibaaa]

@cham0037 Likewise!!!! 💕☺️
