I gotta say, My favorite part of the Olympics was seeing black women show up in knotless braids, cornrows, long buss downs, natural curls, long acrylics with designs, natural french tip manicures, lashes, baby hair… I absolutely love that AUTHENTIC show up.

In order to increase diversity in medical specialties you need to ACCEPT diversity. You can’t open the door for black people and people of color but expect them to strip away their identity in order to fit what you believe to be a standard of professionalism.

Today, I lost a patient while I was in the room. I watched it all happened from the moment the heart stopped to the compressions to the call to the clean up to the goodbyes. So I’m going to sit in this for awhile until the tears come or the sleep, whichever first.

Residency is hard. And I don’t want to say it’s because of the work itself because I find I can typically deal. It’s the lack of hours of self care and sustainability that I find to be the most challenging.

Pap smear ( tissue for lab sample ) and pelvic exam are very different. Best way to identify fibroids are through ultrasound. Cervical cancer will not grow at a rate that you need to have annual tissue sampling. It can actually do more harm than good having multiple Pap smears.

Not a red flag. The problem is phones and social media make ppl think they should have access to you anytime they want. We need to learn how to leave ppl tf alone
idk if it’s a red flag but sometimes when I don’t feel like talking, I won’t. I won’t text back, call back, nothing until I feel like talking. and when I need a break, I’ll stop talking to EVERYONE.
