So glad to be part of this video showcasing my incredible @MGH_SUDs addiction medicine fellowship program led by the #GOAT @DrSarahWakeman, in addition to many other fantastic faculty @drjessgray @drlaurakehoe @Dinahlew @DrBenBearnot @markeisenberg16 @ampeckham
And although I’m only there part time, I’m also proud to help highlight the important work being done by @BHCHP and AHOPE on the CCiR van, day in and day out, by dedicated providers like @JoeWrightMD @Dinahlew @e8b8r @JessieGaeta @Boston_Mackin and others.
It’s been an immense privilege to care for patients as part of these teams, and to learn from the clinical and lived experience of some of the most powerful leaders in this field.
Shout out to whoever managed to edit most of the dog hair off of my black fleece in post-production despite claiming it couldn’t be done: you’re the real MVP. 👏

4 years ago tomorrow would have been my 1st #residency interview, at @mghmedres. I know this because 4 years ago today my dad died unexpectedly in Denver while I was in Boston. I cancelled the interview from the tarmac at 6am the day of, and flew home.

It’s a whole 🧵
2/ This will not be a memorial thread about how much I love and miss my dad, although I do and I do. Weirdly, this is a @mghmedres appreciation and #medstudenttwitter celebration thread. Bear with me.
3/ I was home for 8 days after my dad died. In those 8 days I missed 6 interviews. 3 programs offered their sympathy and little else. The other 3 offered whatever it damn well took to get me rescheduled and to support me in doing what I needed to do - interview.

August 31 is International #Overdose Awareness Day. Every year I reflect on all the people we’ve lost, but especially Arielle. Here we are at 18 - careless, happy assholes. She was brilliant, snarky, a talented musician, and she died at age 26 from a poisoned drug supply. Image
In the last 2 years of her life, Arielle went to jail, went to rehab, and “got clean.”

Jail didn’t save her.
Rehab didn’t save her.
Abstinence didn’t save her.

#SCS could’ve saved her. #safesupply could’ve saved her.
#MOUD could’ve saved her.
#Naloxone could’ve saved her.
There is no excuse for her death or for any of the 71,000 overdose deaths in 2019, not when evidence-based treatments for #OUD exist. Not one damn more person should die alone from a treatable condition in the year #2020.
