The gratification of being in medicine is essentially summed up by this: even though you’re probably stressed about a million things simultaneously, there’s always at least one interaction with a patient or their family that is so rewarding it offsets everything else.

I need another week off to recover from this week off. Can’t believe I start med 4 tomorrow! On a side note, how is it that I’ve been at AUB for 6 whole years? Crazy how time flies.

A well-known predator in Lebanon who roamed free thanks to his political connections. Glad that he is finally getting what he deserves even though this should have happened way earlier when countless women came forward in Lebanon. Our justice system is a joke.
A woman visiting #MiamiBeach from Kansas City was assaulted & battered in her Ocean Dr. hotel room when police say this man convinced Hotel Victor staff to give him her room key. He’s in jail now but has preyed on several women, according @MiamiBeachPD & others. @wsvn #Exclusive

Happy to be fully vaccinated after receiving the second dose of the #CovidVaccine yesterday! Even though the side effects, namely fever, chills & myalgias, were unpleasant. they only lasted for around 24 hours. Feeling safe by being vaccinated >>> a day of side effects.

It’s heartbreaking how often we hear such stories & repeatedly saying ‘في قصص أهم نركز عليها’ feeds into the problem.
مسا الخير. قتلت السيدة نجاح عبيد على يد زوجها ب ١٥ رصاصة، لأنها وزعت على الجيران بعض من الإعاشة التي حصلت عليها. قتلها عادي، بكرا بينحبس ٣ سنين بيطلع بحسن سلوك.

It’s really important to not be out of touch with reality. If you’re not inherently attune to what’s going on around you, actively strive to be more sensitive. There is no excuse for a grown-up to spew insensitive comments, especially if they’re a healthcare worker.

Exciting news especially that adolescents and children have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic as much as, if not more, than adults.
Topline data from 2,260 adolescents demonstrated high antibody responses and 100% efficacy against #COVID19, and that the vaccine was well-tolerated.

We have SO much work left to do. Challenging an archaic patriarchal system won’t happen overnight, but bit by bit, our collective efforts are bound to amount to something. #IWD2021 #InternationalWomensDay .#Lebanon.
About 100 people gathered in front of the National Museum to mark International Women’s Day. Some held signs reading, “I want a salary the same as his,” “They denied me custody of my children,” “They married me off when I was 15,” and “He killed me and they didn't convict him”.

But maybe forcing our entire population to panic-shop and stockpile supplies in 2 days is a bit counterproductive? In terms of both endless crowding and further marginalizing those who cannot afford to shop in bulk beforehand. .
#Lebanon declares 'state of emergency' from Jan. 14 until Jan. 25 to contain the coronavirus surge.

I find it fascinating how the Lebanese as a population are drowning in corruption, poverty, famine, lack of basic human rights,. (I could go on all night) & some people still manage to disgust us with their xenophobia. #CovidVaccine #Lebanon.
There’s a trending hashtag in #Lebanon (#اللقاح_للبناني_أولاً ) “vaccination for the Lebanese first”, obviously with xenophobic anti-refugee insinuations. I thought it stopped there, at “first”. Nope. Here, Wadih uses the word “exclusively” (حصراً) for Lebanese. 🤦🏻♂️

With ICUs all over Lebanon nearing maximal capacity, practice some common sense so that we don’t start off the new year with an even bigger tragedy. #StayHome.

@CharlyTweetin Being excited about finally getting one step closer to controlling this pandemic & encouraging others to get vaccinated by posting a picture isn’t going to impact the efficacy of the vaccine, but it might help. Your sarcasm, however, does not. :).

One of the first RCTs to incorporate an AI-powered clinical decision support tool into clinical practice for identification of low EF on electrocardiograms. It’s going to be very interesting to see how other fields will increasingly start to incorporate #AI into their practice.

Since vaccine awareness is the new trend can we please start vaccinating boys and girls against HPV? And no, ‘I know my kids won’t have sex before marriage’ is not an argument.

A failed state by all means. No foresight. No planning. Leaving the most impoverished amongst us, most of whom earn their wages day by day, with absolutely no support during a total lockdown & then kicking them when they’re down. Despicable. #Tripoli.

This, a 1000 times over. Suicide hotlines are an amazing resource, but as is the case in Lebanon, they’re sometimes the only resource available to many people.
Suicide prevention isn’t just posting the suicide hotline. Healthcare is suicide prevention. Housing is suicide prevention. Food security is suicide prevention. Access to mental health care is suicide prevention.

@ReemYouness We had something similar where the SP was ‘crying’ and most of us failed to comfort her. We were also so focused on getting through the so-called checklist. But ultimately, empathy comes naturally & we were probably confused because it was a ‘staged’ setting!.
