The best thing I learned while having kids in residency is time management. Nothing teaches you to get your act together than being responsible for little humans.
So, I made use of every down-time. I got my books, articles on pdf, and Q-banks on my phone. And I read at work!
I read in between cases. I did Q-banks whenever I could. In my 3rd yr, I started stopping by a coffee shop for 30mins-1 hr to study before going home. And when I made it home, it was family time. Unless I was on home call and had to answer pages, time @ home was for family.
Best thing I did in residency was have kids. Taught me the value of downtime, self care, time management, empathy, etc. I honestly don’t know why we don’t encourage #Parenthood in #MedEd
So my advice to you is to not see your loved ones as a burden while training but to value your time with them and put them on your calendar.

I have a feeling we’ll need to compile all the ways medicine justified a genocide

So I’m gonna start a thread & we can add onto it as people become more comfortable publishing their pro-genocide academic papers:

#1 - @JAMA_current in which the bombing of hospitals is justified
#2 @TheLancet declining to publish an open letter from HCW calling for a ceasefire
@TheLancet #3 @MontefioreNYC cancelling a ground rounds speaker for calling for a ceasefire against genocide

About three years ago, attending a women’s empowerment conference made me swear off of going to anymore women’s empowerment conferences…a 🧵
It began as a great conference focused on empowering women to advance in medicine. All the gaps were addressed. Gender pay gap, research funding gap, awards gap, leadership gap. Great! We’re moving beyond pay disparity!
Or so I thought.

After hearing the keynote and most of the prime time lectures, I was perplexed. I know all these topics are important. But as this was a conference filled with women from all backgrounds, I felt there was something missing.

Friends of #MedTwitter
We talk a lot about the dearth of Black docs & the leaky pipeline but not how academia pushes out the ones who actually make it to med school & beyond. Many URiM students/trainees suffer in silence due to a lack of support & the real threat of retaliation.
We’re working with a resident who is the only Black trainee &one of two IMGs who is experiencing an extremely hostile work environment. We’re looking for program directors, assoc program directors & anyone else who can help us in assisting this trainee.
We would appreciate any and all assistance. Please reach out to anyone of us through DM

For my chief year grand rounds presentation, a mentor suggested that I use it as an opportunity to share my experience going through surgery training and having children. He suggested I share both the good the bad.
I loved this idea. It felt like we would be doing an M&M conference on our lived experiences as humans going through professional and personal challenges. I liked the idea that what was seen as a “problem” (pregnant surgery resident)...
became an opportunity for us to change our culture to be more inclusive. I wanted to include the fact that we were able to increase awareness of surgery boards accommods for pregnancy during training among our residents, and as a result more women were considering fam planning.

#MedRacism continuing to uphold the status quo.

When we say minoritized and racialized people in medicine, regardless of position, are afraid to speak up because of #retaliation,
👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 is what we mean.
Academia will destroy someone’s career and livelihood before they even think about becoming introspective or take any responsibility for their bias and racism.
Dr. @ayshakhoury does not deserve this. Her students don’t deserve to lose their teacher. And her community doesn’t deserve losing a good physician.

#ToxicMedicine

I got a call from one of our NPs that a neurosurgeon was berating him and the icu nurses about why his postop patient was in the icu. He brought one to tears and was yelling at the charge as well. So I called.
Nsg: Who the hell transferred my postop pt to the ICU?

Me: I did.

Nsg: Who gave you permission to transfer my patient?

Me: I’m the admitting physician. You’re a consultant. Are you aware of their other injuries?
Nsg: Listen, hun, I don’t know who you think you are but...

Me: First, don’t call me hun. Second, it’s Dr. Hussein
