Calling all activists in medicine. A @WSJopinion by former @PennMedicine dean says future doctors/med students should not be engaged in #guncontrol, #ClimateChange and matters of "social justice" wsj.com/articles/take-…
@WSJopinion @PennMedicine @ThisIsOurLane An inspirational (antidote) response to this op-ed by @PennMedicine faculty: inquirer.com/health/social-… by @CarolynCannu @zacharymeisel @rachel_fsimon citing @MonaHannaA's seminal work @PhillyInquirer via @PDX_Tom
@WSJopinion @PennMedicine @ThisIsOurLane @CarolynCannu @zacharymeisel @rachel_fsimon @MonaHannaA @PhillyInquirer @PDX_Tom Gratifying to see such a vigorous, compelling medical community response to Goldfarb's @WSJopinion here & social media.
Aligned w/ some points from August @NewYorker essay newyorker.com/culture/annals… "Meeting the challenges of modern medicine will require more than seeing patients."
@WSJopinion @PennMedicine @ThisIsOurLane In response to @WSJopinion, an open letter #GoldfarbChallenge by 162+ @PennMed alumni, led by @CrystalZhengMD

Thanks, Mr Hennessey. Apropos for the @WSJopinion deputy editor to label the respondents to the outrageous and iconoclastic op-ed as "intersectional lunatics."
On the money? No. Audacious? Yes.

@WSJopinion The only problem, Mr Hennessey, is that you proved a point, but it wasn't that one.
@WSJopinion Here's @P_Yerramilli's response @statnews with the right points statnews.com/2019/09/16/med…

Why Congress is so much against the Hindus? Why word “secular” was added?

Why our history books talk extensively about, Babar, Humayun, Akbar, Jahangir, Shahjahan, Aurangzeb, Bahadurshah Zafar, Alauddin Khilji, Shershah Suri, Tipu Sultan, Mohammad Ghori, Mohammed Ghaznavi etc
But doesn’t mention Porus, Chanakya, Chandragupta Maurya, Ashoka, King Vikramaditya, the Chola empire, PrithviRaj Chauhan, Maharana Pratap, Shivaji Maharaj, Vijaynagar empire? Why is there no mention of the fierce battle of Kurukshetra? Why no mention of the valiant Pandavas?
These are the stalwarts of our ancestral heritage! The base of our cultural history, the core value of our vibrant social setup of tolerance and supreme nationalism!

There is so much to unpack about gender and #chronicillness, I barely know where to begin. But let's give it a go. Data THREAD first, personal experiences second. (1/9) #millionsmissingspeakout #pwME @MEActNet
Up until very recently, the majority of medical research has been performed on men. It used to be against the law to include most women in clinical trials. Even after that law was overturned, a second had to be enacted requiring we be included. #pwME (2/9) tinyurl.com/y35rtwzv
The difference in the way women present symptoms and the ignorance around this kills.
When women have heart attacks, for example, the typical symptoms veer sharply from what med students learned from their textbooks. (3/9) #millionsmissingspeakout #pwME psmag.com/social-justice…

At the @MM_JCCManhattan for a conversation between @bariweiss @BTselemUSA brand new US director @simonerzim @AJCGlobal @AviMayer and @tabletmag editor at large (?) @CarlyPildis.
.@simonerzim wow. Explaining why she is sitting in this seat. On the power of encountering Palestinian families evicted from their homes in Sheikh Jarakh, seeing for the first time the meaning to Palestinians of the 🇮🇱 flag, I can’t really summarize in a tweet how powerful. Watch
@AviMayer: American and Israeli jews don’t get each other. Sees himself as a translator. Wants to mend the relationship.

UR a Smart Ass, Carl
@cleflore23
I’ve always found it ironic when ever those who support #guncontrol speak about police involved shootings that involve a black man with a gun.

They largely ignore black gun ownership and demonize anyone who carries a gun for self defense.
I ask this question. Why is the social justice warrior activists suddenly pro gun when ever a black man is killed by a white police officer? Its obvious if you’re smart and with bias. It’s purely about an agenda.
Lately I’ve been talking about black gun ownership. Because there’s a stigma around gun ownership in the black community. The stigma is “the second amendment isn’t for black people” & “if you own a gun, the police will kill you.” I have been trying to change this mindset.
