She was the force behind our recent union win at @MontefioreNYC and we have to keep fighting in her honor

This is my dear friend, Nakita.

Nakita and I were medical school classmates and both interns in New York City. Nakita tragically took her own life on May 26.

She is such a beautiful soul. She was so fun to be around. She was intelligent, charismatic, and confident. (1/x)

@allisonoconn This time period is indeed the best of fourth year!

[Tyler Olson, EA @olsonplanner]

How did they do it?

What’s the roadmap for other programs to follow?

[Doctoring Differently | Naomi Lawrence-Reid, M.D. @DocDifferently]

We physicians (esp peds and primary care) are groomed to believe that demanding a high (or livable wage) salary means that we care about our patients less.

Med education, hosp corporations, and insurers propagate that lie to protect the trillions they make off of our labor.

[Laura Vater, MD, MPH @doclauravater]

Being awake for 24 hours is the equivalent of having a blood alcohol content of 0.10%. This is higher than the legal limit for driving.

If doctors aren’t fit to use their driver's license after 24 hours awake, should they be asked to use their medical license?

[Nicole Cifra, MD, MPH, MHPEd @DrNicoleC]

This match season, I really want us to normalize not asking medical students if they matched at their #1 choice.

It puts unnecessary pressure on students and it doesn't matter. You can have a great experience at #10 and a terrible experience at #1. #MedEd #match2023 #match2024

Thank you so much for your support, @JeffreyDinowitz!

Residents and fellows at @MontefioreNYC are voting in our union election, yet the hospital's aggressive union-busting campaign has only escalated during our voting period.

One day, just one day, I would like to see pregnant physicians brag abt how their institution made accommodations for the antepartum period, instead of all the “I worked until I was literally in labor” superwoman posts

When I saw you on rounds that morning you were quiet. Your eyes looked in my direction but were otherwise vacant.

This was a change.

Me: "You okay?"
You: "Yup."

There was coolness in the way you spoke. After that, you turned away from me and faced the wall.

Ooph.

@RyanRLion @StJudeResearch @StanfordChild Congrats!!

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Let me congratulate the 1,200 physicians at Montefiore Health System who are forming a union. More than 40 years after their rights to unionize were taken away, they are standing up and fighting back for better working conditions and better patient care.
