@caniac315 @abe_verghese Hard to put down!

[Lauren Comisar @thecomisar]

Just finished reading The Covenant of Water and can't stop thinking about it. Nobody writes sorrow like @abe_verghese does, but nobody writes love like he does, either 😲

@aoviedonews @dineydiver @CBSNewYork Did @CBSNewYork ever end up covering this story about the metro north train debacle?

[Lauren Comisar @thecomisar]

@DawgJ37 @benedictecallan @MetroNorth We got to Croton-Harmon and boarded another southbound train but are now hearing that we won’t be moving yet because of flooded tracks in Ossining 😬

[Lauren Comisar @thecomisar]

@DawgJ37 @benedictecallan @MetroNorth Just got to Peekskill!

[Lauren Comisar @thecomisar]

@DawgJ37 @benedictecallan @MetroNorth Yes and one stop in between

[Lauren Comisar @thecomisar]

@DawgJ37 @MetroNorth No updates, it’s still just sitting there next to us on the tracks. Now Otter Pops are being distributed

[Lauren Comisar @thecomisar]

@DawgJ37 @MetroNorth Volunteer EMS are loading us up with more cases of water bottles. But no signs that the train will actually start moving

[Lauren Comisar @thecomisar]

@DawgJ37 @MetroNorth A rescue engine just got here and they are trying to connect it so they can tow us to Peekskill

@TheUnmumsyMum My family once used a cup to capture a spider, and nobody would drink out of the cup ever again! It became the designated bug catching cup for years to come 🕷️

I’m convinced that minority doctors also get disproportionately more first name treatment - need to study that next!

[Lauren Comisar @thecomisar]

And it’s male patients who are more likely to address their doctors by their first name. JAMA study linked here: https://t.co/P9gl3tUiBs

Female doctors were more than twice as likely as male doctors to be addressed by their first names. via @NYTimes https://t.co/fLZMKTvONZ

Excited about this! Loved working with @aly_kaplanMD on two of my favorite topics, palliative care and cirrhosis! https://t.co/Ijea9lzaNx

[Aly J. Kaplan, MD @aly_kaplanMD]

Of all the projects I’ve worked on during fellowship, this is the project I am most proud of. Inspired by the #Palliativehepatology group, @thecomisar and I assessed patient prognostic understanding and compared to hepatologist predictions. ⬇️ @AGA_CGH

[Preston Igwe, MD @PrestonIgweMD]

A quick story. I’m on ambulatory medicine at the VA. Yesterday I went to get a patient from the waiting room. A Black man who served in Vietnam. When I introduced myself as Dr. Igwe, he gave me a very strange look. I asked if I had the wrong person, but he said “no, that’s me”.
