A very impressive and incredibly accomplished person. Had befriended her when living in Palo Alto a few years back because fate had made us neighbors. One of the most important and underrated feminist authors of the American century. Read her works.

@chrissyfarr My experience sitting on Stanford’s MD admissions committee- we wanted humanities majors! Writers, philosophers, engineers, artists — we need more than just scientists in medicine. Being surrounded by diverse perspectives and experiences make us all better physicians.

Just heard somebody claim that they’re “a sleep activist” advocating for sleep to be recognized as “a basic human right” and am now contemplating a professional reorientation.

Ignore the smokescreens about feminism and deconstruction. The takeaway is that academia is, at heart, a feudal institution of the power hungry and their sycophantish enablers.

I highly recommend this book for those researching or suffering trauma. It’s a comic book explaining the effects of trauma on the mind & body. Full of metaphors and scientific research

I love to type what patients say because it gives me a full sense of their story. #GayatriDevi #NMRounds #narrativemedicine #Alzheimer @ColumbiaPS @ColumbiaMed
