A friend of mine also lost 100lbs over several months and docs told her the same thing. She couldn’t keep any food down but they were pleased with her weight loss and kept ignoring her concerns. Her 6th doc finally did a proper work up and found she had an enzyme deficiency.

That’s literally the vagina’s natural repsonse to anything invading the area. Maybe don’t joke about saying no when it comes to sex? Consent really shouldn’t be joked about ever
@JennaKoblinski
Sometimes I feel like I’m on an episode of Punk’d. You ask for clarification too only to end up with an entirely new story when you’re with your attending like it’s comical sometimes
My family, friends, and mentors truly are the best. This process truly is not for the faint of heart but having a solid support system has made it much more bearable. Thank you to everyone who’s reached out! If you are still looking to SOAP please reach out

She writes for a living. You’re telling me you never though to write your feelings down instead? Oh baby, it’s time to change your therapist. This video sounds like a cry for help. I hate that we’re always front row when she acts out b/c she comes on here so much
I woke up at 4:50 AM thinking “not my body betraying me” but then I got an interview invite literally two minutes later LIKE SHE KNEW 🥹
Also prayers for my friends on the west coast 😩🙏🏾

Refinery29 did a brief documentary on this very topic. I haven’t purchased bundles since. I made peace with the face that I can’t afford ethically sourced extensions and have been enjoying my braids and synthetic wigs since. It can be done 🙏🏾

I think profesionalism is weaponized in a way that hurts mainly minorities, and not enough is done to correct actual unprofessional behavior students display amongst each other and certainly with patients.
@shriyanevatia
@humairawins
Your tweets aimed at these students suggest otherwise.
Being good at school doesn’t make you a good person. The bravery and empathy these kids are displaying goes beyond textbooks. I think you could learn a thing or two from them actually.
I am once again asking why do we keep opening medical schools if we do not have plans to significantly expand residency spots anytime soon…very confusing behavior
@mekishana
The fact that he mentions her star power and what she’d have to lose by lying, only for his conclusion to be “well she’s an Aquarius”. Even if you didn’t believe her, it makes no sense for her to lie. Like you actually hate Black women.
Today I went on a real hike with my friends and I just wanna say that all of y’all who put hiking as one of your hobbies is confusing me. Y’all can’t all love this. Somebody gotta be lying.
I brought up my concerns to faculty about possibly moving to a less safe city after match as a single female and my school actually listened. They scheduled a self defense class with our campus PD that doesn’t conflict with our didactics so people can attend. I’m elated 🥹

AAs are less likely to be prescribed pain killers and often in lower doses. The reason behind this are multifaceted and complicated -yet reveal that bias does play a role in emergency treatment.
My roommate has been braiding my hair since I got to med school and we’re both applying OB so I thought I’d return the favor and sew her some scrub caps 🥹 Left is my first go and it wasn’t up to my standards but the right looks so much better imo. They’re sating lined too 😜

That’s actually because most of the mitochondria for the sperm are only used to make the tail propel itself enough to get the head (contains all the DNA) into the egg. The tail doesn’t really make it into the egg so most of the mitochondria are from mom!
Incredibly proud and excited to be joining the Family Medicine program at University of Illinois COM-Peoria! Can't wait to see where the next three years take me!

I’ll never forget when people from my church showed up early for my HS grad party and we weren’t done setting up so they started helping with the decorations 💀 my party ended at 9 and all the Africans showed up at 9:30 🥴

I only give gifts and write cards when I am truly sad to be moving on because I feel like people in general need to be told when they’re doing a great job. And I’m not about to give a gift to someone who ignored me for weeks cause that’s like rewarding bad behavior, lol

100% Dr. Sattar because I love Pathoma like I’m literally never getting rid of my textbook. He’s an amazing educator and I’d love to have even 1/10 of his talent as an educator
Like a thousand people have asked me about Jordan’s eyes. He’s not jaundiced. He has racial melanosis of the conjunctiva. Benign, flat patches of pigment around the edge of the cornea. Extremely common in darkly pigmented individuals, more prominent with age

The same people responsible for treating these guns wounds your organization so recklessly disregards have no say in the matter AT ALL? I’ll be praying for your abhorrent, misguided souls. You don’t get to tell physicians how they should feel.
We’re supposed to keep following medical advise, but you’re not going help enforce what experts say we need. Getting rid of a mask mandate when we don’t have enough people vaccinated for herd immunity is the definition of reckless.
What exactly is this man useful for?
BREAKING: Texas Governor Greg Abbott announces he is ending the statewide mask mandate and says all businesses can now open at 100% capacity. However, he stresses "personal vigilance is still needed to contain covid" and we should "continue following medical advice."

@mdbtvh
I cried yesterday because a parent decided to believe her daughter who completely twisted our convo that morning and proceeded to antagonize myself and my attending in front of the whole team later on rounds🥲 craziest part is she took my advice at then end of it all 💀
Yesterday I was at the Free Clinic and their papers aren’t translated to Spanish. There wasn’t anyone else to help out this man, so I translated and filled out his medical history/ questionnaire forms. I guess I did learn a thing or two in Spain ☺️☺️☺️
Our dean of UME told us to seriously consider dropping interviews if we have > 15 scheduled, but also to give programs at least a two-week notice as a courtesy. Honestly he’s so real for that
This patient delivered twins today. I didn’t want to make assumptions, so I asked if she celebrates Halloween.
She said she loves Halloween and can’t wait to dress her twins up like the ones from The Shining 😭😭😭
@MeanOrangeBean
Hi! First, thank you. Second, I prefer to use the term women instead of females. Third, agreed, men are much more than 💰. He brings so many amazing things to the table — he’s practically a self taught chef, great leader, man of God, so understanding AND he makes 2x my salary 😊
@Dr_amoytheemd
You are only human. Don’t be too hard on yourself. I’m sure that patient was very blessed to be under your care in the time you had together. I’m so sorry for your loss.
@amandabb__
I stopped watching midway through season 1 because that lil stunt they pulled trying to eliminate Farai during street wear pissed me off. Love me some Minju Kim though but the judges are trash.
You know what’s crazy......SGA been tryna tell the city that we need a barricade during major games to block off beadway (and indirectly have police presence already there to prevent rioting) but it was considered too costly and now they’re putting one up b/c of Saturday🥴
@mdbtvh
We always say don’t take things personally, but easier said than done. We’re human too. Even though I don’t think I did anything wrong, I apologized for the misunderstanding and the family apologized later. I think even they were embarrassed by their behavior. It happens :/
one thing i miss about spain was how lazy everybody is lmao businesses don’t open till like 11 am and they take like a 4 hour break a couple hours later, nobody is arsed. we went to a restaurant and had to wait like 20 minutes cause the entire staff was having a round of beers

You’re correct in your thinking! mtDNA (mitochondrial) doesn’t change as much as our DNA that combines with mom + dad and then changes a bit. Because of this, mtDNA is easier to track over time. I attached an article if you wanna read more!
My host parents are the definition of opposites attract. My host mom is very loud and bubbly and my host dad is very chill and calm. They’re funny 😂
Other people have brought them trinkets as a gift but never a Texas-shaped cast iron skillet. Safe to say I won 🤭 (s/o to

@Grant_Parrelli
Honestly I’m cool with just being treated with respect and having the freedom to ask for time off to do reasonable things. That goes a long way. Maybe throw in some free parking and reduced lunch prices, but nothing too crazy, lol
The reading comprehension (or lack thereof) in these comments is INSANE. You don’t need to have a period every month =\= you shouldn’t have one. Some people have debilitating periods and contraceptives are life-changing. Maybe talk to someone with major fibroids or endo
Unless you’re trying to conceive there’s no medical reason to have a period. We have an array of pharmaceutical and surgical options for minimizing or eliminating periods, which are at best inconvenient and at worst disabling. Seriously fuck menstruation
