Take care of yourselves, your family, & continue giving back to your community. I’m not surprised at all by the outcome - this country was built on racism, misogyny, etc so of course that’s going to win. I’m going back to sleep….

This is hard to accept. Dr. Goldstein is one of the best mentors I've ever had - believed in me when I didn't believe in myself & encouraged me to apply to medical school. So supportive throughout medical school, residency, & my chief year. He will be dearly missed ❤️
We lost a beloved colleague in GI earlier this week. Dr. Jay Goldstein was a friend, mentor and my boss for 10 years. I had the privilege of meeting with him weekly, where he taught me how to lead and how to tirelessly advocate for mentees. Love you, Jay.

I saw true happiness today. Met a couple-they’ve traveled to NY, Boston, Las Vegas and now Chicago. Then going to Germany, Italy, & Paris. They said, “We’ve worked really hard, so now we’re just enjoying ourselves.” They were so relaxed and couldn’t stop smiling ☺️ What a dream!

Happy Juneteenth! We watched “Black Health Disparities Go Back to Slavery: A Discovered Truth” followed by discussion of creating safe spaces for patients, specifically Black patients. ⭐️ Make sure your patients are HEARD & feel safe in your care
Happy Juneteenth! We hosted a special noon conference led by @Asantewaa_IM that explored the history of Black health disparities and their long-standing impact. Important to recognize the perspective of our patients and always care for people as individuals

🧂Na 104, h/o adrenal insufficiency 💊 Ran out of meds, no PCP 🤢 Presents w/ nausea & AMS 🤷🏾♀️ Does pt have capacity to decline care? ❗️It’s tricky - example qs below to assess capacity. ⭐️Be mindful of SDoH & address pts’ doubts about treatment.
What a case! @Asantewaa_IM and Dr. Fletcher took us on a journey covering management of adrenal insufficiency, severe hypoNa, and the grey areas of patient care. 🔑 to address SDoH and do patient-centered capacity evals. Meet patients where they are!
