My first 2 weeks of surgery residency have been tough don’t get me wrong but There are not many things in life harder than collegiate football fall camp and so far residency is not even close lol.
Best part of match day? Matching at the hospital where my wife will do her 3rd and 4th year med school clinical rotations. We get to keep this little family together while both still pursuing our dreams

Hey black male medical student here future general surgeon.This is false. For 1 doctors dont have this info.2 certain criteria has to be met and in case of trauma more times than not this would disqualify a potential donor so its in the doctors best interest to save the patient
10 years ago I was selling snacks in between classes and sweeping floors of a barbershop after school to help my mama pay rent in an apt that didn’t have any furniture in it. Now I’m getting ready to start my second year of medical school.Never thought I’d be here but I thank God
@looganwoods
He’s also 600k years older than them. Pretty sure he wasn’t on a boat like that when he was their age and if he was it wasn’t from being a “hard working American”

The only things that this clip shows is that he has been in this kids life since day one and that he’s promoted an active healthy lifestyle up until this point. Not sure where you get sick from that.
@A_Sapp12
We had a 1st year at my school a few years back who was on the voice and he would Study m-f and then fly to LA or wherever and would tape the shows Saturday and Sunday and then fly black. It was insane
@epigeekGab
I’m interested in knowing the purpose of this. Most MDs doing research are interested in things that come up in their practice that otherwise haven’t been and wouldn’t be studied others do it as a requirement but not many are thinking groundbreaking unless opportunity arises.

One could make that argument if they had the data to back it up. I would counter argue that according UNOS(organ donation people) in 2018 alone Caucasians contributed 65 % of all organ donation vs only 16% by African Americans. Which is about 306% more.
@WestinWong
I study out of fear lol. Had one day where I didn’t know any of the questions that I was asked for the day and I hated how that made me feel so I just kindve go home and do it out of fear of that happening again. Not the most helpful but the truth lol
@olsonplanner
There’s no standardization of what each in house lecturer emphasizes so what the boards want you to know could be (and usually is) completely different than what your professors, who are often times PhD’s PharmD’s etc, want you to know about their specific area of expertise.
My wife just delivered our 3rd child! Our 2nd during med school. (Talk about living life on the edge 😂😂). But our little family is complete. (For now 😈) mom an baby are both doing great!
In Just a few short weeks,this young black kid from the streets of Memphis, who at times had nowhere to lay his head, becomes a Physician. You really can become anything you set your mind to.
All it takes is an opportunity.

In 1978, 542 black males entered medical school. In 2018, 40 years later, that number was only 604. 604 out of 21,614 matriculants. We must increase the diversity of our physicians and we must do it one white coat at a time.

I had 2 D’s and got into Med school this year. (Retook and got A’s) but I say that to say your application is much more than your gpa. Do your absolute best in your classes but don’t stress to much
I’ve been extremely blessed to be accepted to some great medical schools.However none of those programs were home and would all require me to uproot my family. Today that changed as I was finally accepted to my state institution. The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
@olsonplanner
That network will be there regardless of where they attend so long as they make the effort to keep it. There’s also no guarantee they stick with the same specialty. Go to the cheaper school. Work hard, get the same outcome for 160k cheaper.

Where are you getting this information from? It's not in the report. I'm not saying it's not true but without a source you're just making a narrative. Besides, most teachers are paid salary not hourly so as long as their contracts aren't restructured 4day/5day doesn't matter
@UnclePhilippe
@mlatriceh
Misinformation like this and a distrust for health care providers is what leads to the black community having higher mortality rates altogether. A physician will do everything in their power to save your life. And in the event that you don’t make it, you could save many more.
“While 450 lesser qualified minority students were offered admission” quick look at the TMDSAS data shows 960 matriculants with an MCAT less than 511. So why focus on the 450 and not the 510 who weren’t minorities but got in 🤔.Can guarantee it wasn’t his scores that kept him out
A medical school applicant who was denied admission to medical schools in Texas has sued, alleging discrimination based on his status as a white male.

@KoodaB
I got multiple division 1 football scholarships after playing just one year of varsity in high school. Went to college for free now I’m a doctor. It can be done but it will take a lot of hard work on his part as well as some luck. Might want to start saving just in case! Lol
@GeorgeOdum
Ima be real with you bro. You wouldn’t have the job you have now if you didn’t have prior vaccines. For the most part, you can’t go to college without certain ones. No college, no college ball, no NFL. We done had this talk lol it’s really not that big of a deal bruh. You know
I’m not sure how many fathers have had the opportunity to deliver their own child but on July 22nd at 8:36 PM I “caught” my daughter and our special bond that can never be broken began. I love you so much already Aryn Rose❤️❤️ 🌹

How many people do you know, or how many cases have you personally heard of (not from the internet) of someone having their organs stolen? Furthermore I’m an organ donor and have had multiple surgeries. Why haven’t they taken mine?
To all my future/current doctors just because you’ve got a black kid that is coming in with anxiety/panic attacks, doesn’t know how to fully communicate what’s wrong, and may be slightly difficult to work with 🗣DOESNT MEAN THEY ARE ON OR ARE WITHDRAWING FROM DRUGS
I wake up every morning look at myself in the mirror and ask myself how in the world did I get this woman to marry me. Y’all see how fine she is? Y’all ever seen me? how I know God is real. 😂✊🏾.
If you played football at Conway 2010-2013 especially class of 2013 please contact me ASAP. We lost one of our brothers and I am wanting us to come together if possible, and do something for his family.
I have stayed neutral on this topic until I experienced it myself but I can now say with 100% confidence residents do not get paid nearly enough for what we do and the hours we put in. I think it’s time to move away from salary base and just get paid a fair hourly rate.
Just finished
@MyronRolle
book The 2% Way. It was easily in the top 5 best books Ive ever read. I wish I had the wisdom it entails back when I was playing college football. The internal struggle of scholar vs athlete was huge for me. However as an M4 it still spoke to me greatly.
I love coaches likes this. Coach ashcraft and the staff at Conway taught me far more than just how to read defense but gave me life skills that I still use today.
@arghavan_salles
The money from these type of tips do not go to the workers. At least they never went to me when I worked in food service. If you’re going to tip, tip them directly with cash if not you’re just paying extra for your food.
My wife started her first year of medical school today and I started my 4th. Proud of ourselves is an understatement. We talked about this day in highschool and now it’s finally here both of us chasing dreams.
I just sent an email to the chair of orthopedic surgery at uams asking him to shadow him. not expecting a response at all just one of those "ehh why not" type of things. He emailed me back in 2 minutes saying he would be glad for me to come. 2018 already starting out right.
These floods are truly insane. This family in Conway, Arkansas used more than 10,000 sandbags to keep several feet of water from taking over their home. Their house has become and island. The only way in and out is by boat.

@tvtomee
One thing that I found that has worked well for me is only study when I’m being 100% effecient. So if I’m overwhelmed and I need to take an hour/the day I will with no guilt. With the absolute promise to myself that I’m going to kill it the next time I sit down to study.
Research is so dumb
I just got an email that said I'm listed as a co-author on a submitted paper I know nothing about because the heme/onc department likes to help us pad our resumes. It's all a made up game 🙄🙃
