The regret rate of gender-affirming surgery is 0.3%. The regret rate for knee replacement surgery is 6-30%. "Transition regret" is a false narrative being pushed by the media to prevent people from getting access to life-saving, gender-affirming healthcare. However...

Annoy a urologist with one tweet.

This is the reality of so many doctors. Ones who arrive from abroad, who have so much to give, yet are thrown into a system that fails to offer humanity. Be the colleague who sees them, Who values them Advocate Support. Because, we're humans before we're health professionals.

He was a doctor. New to the UK from Nigeria. A short clinical attachment then onto the rota. People started talking. Judging. One day, I asked if he was OK. He began to cry. Because here's the thing...

I’ve never seen a better graphical depiction of grief

I am at a loss for words. How many more residents, physicians, humans need to take their own lives before people start to listen? Dr. Nakita Mortimer, you deserved more.

Preparing for #asco23 & absolutely LOVE @asco's language of respect towards both patients AND colleagues * do not blame patients * do not dehumanize or conflate them with their diagnosis/tumor type * acknowledge cancer isn't always preventable * address & recognize peers equally

4/7 Dear IMGs, I cannot put in words how hard it is to start the most demanding period of your career in a different country, culture, and language. You’ll often get to the end of the day and words won’t come out. Your brain will shut down. That is NORMAL. Give yourself grace.
