From homeless to Harvard! This first-gen, queer, black woman matched at BWH/MGH for #OBGYN residency! So blessed to have had the support and love of so many. I don’t know how I’ll ever thank you enough.❣️🥹 #Match2023 #MatchDay

Recently, a patient I had been caring for for a while had a bad outcome. I cried in front of my team. I was embarrassed.

My fellow's feedback changed that:
"I hope in residency you continue to be a crier. Don't let it desensitize you. This is what makes you a great doctor."

I do The NY Times crossword every night before bed and it’s made me realize I need to learn a lot more about the US Open and the French language.

Started mapping out my Step 2 study plan and I’m confused about how anyone does this in less than 5 months. I may have scheduled in a lot of ice cream breaks, but still...

Real doctors care about dismantling systems of oppression because they affect their patients’ health.

@RiderToast Mom worked as a bank teller & my grandparents were blue collar factory workers. First in my family to go to college and first to (eventually) get an MD. Glad to have my family’s support every step of the way. ❣️

@mayachutts This showed up for me under the European Cuisine topic 😂 This sounds wonderful, though!

Moving in less than a week and I’m just looking at my apartment, hoping it will pack itself.

a 6 week abortion ban is terrifying but we also need to be talking about how in Texas you’ll be able to sue someone who miscarries and the burden is on them during a period of grief and trauma to prove it was actually a miscarriage

[Jocelyn J. Fitzgerald MD @jjfitzgeraldMD]

Equipment and curricular items that will be required in an abortion-ban era:

-Massive transfusion protocols
-ICU expansion
-Sepsis bundles
-Gyn, Urologic, General Surgeons for uterovaginal, bladder, and colonic perforating trauma
-Toxicologists educated in abortifacients

Today I presented a poster and had a lot of stimulating conversations regarding my work. But best of all, I got to cheer on my peers and all of their hard work!

[Jocelyn J. Fitzgerald MD @jjfitzgeraldMD]

Ladies, all I’m saying is ask yourself if they’re worth risking your microbiome for 😭💞

[Tierra @TierraBender6]

@jbullockruns Some of my peers have said “Eww, why would you ever work with poor people?” & it makes my heart hurt. As a first gen from a below poverty level family, the mistreatment my family has experienced at the hands of medicine is one of the key reasons I went into this field.

Whoever wins, I will never be ok w how close this race is. That we couldn’t outright reject the blatant racism and our nastiness of Trump says all I ever need to know about this country. Ever.
