Right now in #Maine, there are 30 individuals in the hospital with #COVID19. 9 are in the ICU and 3 are on ventilators. As we go into the #IndependenceDay weekend, I ask everyone to keep these individuals in mind. They may not be able to see their family at all this weekend.

American thoracic surgeon Nina Starr Braunwald (1928-1992) led the operative team at the National Institute of Health that implanted the first successful artificial mitral valve replacement on March 11, 1960. She designed the prosthesis, known as the Braunwald-Morrow valve.

Here’s a Friday to make you smile - the cardiac surgeon I’m working with called my mother to tell her that I did my first open heart surgery today (she cried) AND my critically ill patient improved rapidly! It’s going to be a great weekend.

To all the women who have been told that they are: too loud, too emotional, too ambitious, too difficult, too bossy, too much, We hear you. We believe in you. We stand with you. Let's fight the stereotypes together. #GenerationEquality

I am very proud of this piece that I wrote for the Harvard Primary Care Blog! Please read it and share widely! Seeing the Water: Seven Values Targets for Anti-Racism Action info.primarycare.hms.harvard.edu/blog/seven-val…

An educational resource I made for respecting ethnic names. I thought I’d create a shareable resource so that it can help people and empower.

Residency applications are in 📬 here goes nothing! #gensurgmatch2021 @ Scales Restaurant instagram.com/p/CGlXB3UAQkCY…

Unfortunately not shocking but still important to have the data backing up what we all knew. So #SurgTwitter, what are we going to do next to fix this?

While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last—because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities.

Matched ✅ and so grateful to be a surgeon one day. Thinking of all the great applicants who didn’t match, reach out if you need a pep talk!

Today, on the day of my med school celebration, I lost my grandfather. The last time I saw him, he held both of my hands in his and said “these are surgeon’s hands.” It was a time when I was struggling to see a surgeon in the mirror and it meant everything to me. Rest In Peace.

Stat of the Day: 248. That's how many people are hospitalized in #Maine w/#COVID19. It's a dispiriting new high mark. 72 are in the ICU and 31 are on a ventilator. 49 ICU beds are available. If you're not vaccinated, what is holding you back?

Partners In Health announced that its founder, Dr. Paul Farmer, unexpectedly passed away today in his sleep while in Rwanda. Dr. Farmer was 62 years old. He is survived by his wife, Didi Bertrand Farmer, and their three children. 1/🧵

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

"We talk about the leaky pipeline, and it turns out, I almost washed myself from that pipeline because I thought I couldn't keep training in cardiac surgery and grow my family at the same time"👇 bit.ly/3Py1Vcz by Linda Schulte MD

I never thought I would change my name when I got married— I was the first (medical) Dr. Newton in my family and I’m very proud of that. But, when presented with the opportunity to say “Hi, I’m Dr. Sleeper and I’ll be your anesthesiologist,” I just couldn’t pass it up!
