For female physicians practicing in primary care, married to a man, I hope you know you are seen. The rigor of practicing medicine in America, coupled with the demands of a heterosexual marriage can very often be utterly exhausting. ❤️❤️❤️

As I reflect back on my med school graduation 10 years ago, I see now that my dysfunctional view on work-life balance stems completely from the system’s sensationalized theory that enduring unhealthy work environments and hours builds character. It does not. It builds only PTSD.

It is ridiculous, Disney casting a non-purple human to play Ursula. Don’t they know that she is a completely fictional, made-up character who therefore must be recreated in exact form? After all when I see a half human/half octopus creature I expect purple! 🙄 #LittleMermaid

For those who would like to know what it’s like to be a physician.

I am sorry that there are men who have been able to exist in a society where the attitude they hold as truth towards women is accepted and never before challenged because from my perspective when I am providing simple honesty they tend to take it so fucking selfishly personal.

Apologies should never have conditions. “I am sorry but…” is worse than not saying sorry at all. Imagine how much damage would be prevented if individuals could just simply say, “I am sorry.”

It’s about time that children are given their mother’s last name at birth. If it happens to be the same as the father, great but if not, the default should no longer go to the man. Let the child take the name of their mother, the one who brought life to them.

If you are an un-woke physician you are contributing to the health inequities in America. The Hippocratic oath implies physicians will recognize their shortcomings and inherent biases and fix them. Thank you LaShyra Nolen, MD, MPP for writing this incredible piece. bostonglobe.com/2022/09/09/opi…

Columbus Day should’t be a day of celebration but one of mourning where white America acknowledges the atrocities done to the indigenous people who inhabited the land he helped others steal. Discovery cannot occur to something that already has an established owner. #ColumbusDay

What makes the pointer finger an inferior snapping partner with the thumb than all the others?! 🧐

When physicians finally realize that their strength and power lies in coming together to exist as a single unit and not in fact singularly in a board room where limited seats exist, is when America’s healthcare system will finally begin to reform. #MedTwitter #healthcare #unite

Truth is, as a physician, mychart messages are answered with 100% of my medical decision making but about 1/10 of the charge will go to physicians like me. That’s why physicians are so fucking exhausted. Administrators working off the backs of those who carry the risk.

I never actually thought that the industry I work for could ever be out done by another entity more dysfunctional and deranged. But excellent work Elon Musk for making Twitter more of a shit show than America’s healthcare system.

What non-medical questions do those who are not in the healthcare system have for those of us who are in it? As a primary care physician, I am happy to answer any that people may have.

This is the image in Venmo that comes up if you type the word girls in the “What’s it for?” field… da fuck?! Venmo, really?

I find it hard to believe that at the root of every piece of wisdom there actually existed a man. Chances are, these profound proverbs handed down by one generation after another were actually spoken a female but credit stolen by men by simply adding, “A wise man once said…”
