Two main lessons from the past months:
⁃Medicine is an art & algorithms do not always work
⁃The heart is the most important organ, no doubts :)
Thank you

@MayoClinic
for having me as a rotating student & hope other IMGs will get to experience what I did!

The greatest privilege of all was caring for the dearest people to my heart.
For dad and Cynthia, I would do it all over again.
I love you, always.

I’d usually say a lot. The past 5 years were not easy. Not even close to what I expected. So many external struggles. Too many internal ones. Nothing is the same anymore. Still, took my first oath in white..

The past week was a first for me in the OR.
The first surgery I attended had a leading woman surgeon. Both assisting surgeons were women. The assisting nurse was a woman. The two medical students (me included) were women.
My first time in the OR was a real dream.
This is hope.

& the painful struggle of terminal disease.
I can’t stress enough on primary physicians’ role in screening & the importance of an oncologist’s empathy.
Our patients deserve more than just a diagnosis.

Our mission in HEAL is to help & give to the most vulnerable & marginalized communities in Lebanon. From migrant workers, LGBTQAI+ & most recently ppl living w/ special needs, we’ve learnt abt inclusion & communication from the most beautiful ppl that help us transform our HC sys

@AlYounbouh
collaborated for a first of many special clinics! I was the happiest I’ve ever been, knowing that we helped provide primary care to differently abled individuals who have a very hard time accessing it. Full circle moment in my life❤️

The stereotype agst women in medicine is unacceptable, unprofessional & unbearable.
The disregard of one's efforts & assumptions of one's interest is simply disgusting.
"I fit the criteria" for a specific specialty. What criteria? They won't answer. We all know why they won't.

Don’t let anyone tell you:
What to dream
How Far to go
How much to get paid
What age to marry
When to expect
What to specialize in
When to quit
Just because you are a girl
Do not walk away silently,
Say No,
And stop them there

I don’t know if the world gets it. There is So much to be angry about So many people to be angry at So much passivity, negligence, fraud, & superiority.Not only by systems/govs, but by indv day to day acts. It's just too much to handle w/out anger And too much to handle w/ anger.

Too many opinions on twitter with very little thoughts and reflections. Someday maybe individuals will surpass cultural and familial restrictions/naivety. Stop saying you are different while you are not. Admit it and try to change. And stop following threads ignorantly. THINK

Contrary to popular belief, the significant predictor of success:
Wasn't Social Intelligence
Wasn't Good Looks
Wasn't physical Health
And not IQ
It was GRIT: passion, perseverance, stamina, goals.
“We have to be willing to fail, to be wrong, to start over again with lessons learned.”

Well, I have been raised by a woman who taught me power by being it. A woman from the middle east, w/ no higher ed, in wartorn country stood on her feet, built a small working empire, raised three kids, put them into college&saw them graduating while providing for the most of it.

We need more women in cardiothoracic surgery. We need more women in vascular surgery. We need more women in neurosurgery. We need more women in head and neck surgery. We need more women in general surgery. We need more women in urology. We need more women in orthopedics.

We live in a country where the rule of law applies only to the other person, but not to us. We live in disobedience defended by the fear of others disobeying the law. Asking why we can never become a respectful state?

If you don’t know about something, don’t talk about it. If you do then make sure to know about it from different perspectives & not from the one that gives you power or victimizes you. Because if you do know the truth, you’ll stop talking. We live in a world of human exploitation

I am so sorry you had to go through this.
The cruelty of HCWs is not justifiable.
It is not hard to show empathy, especially when someone is dying
It even hurts more when your own professors or colleagues are inconsiderate and disrespectful towards your own family members.

..but would it still be cliché when you’re in a club, family dinners, & university settings … still hearing: “working moms have ill raised kids”,“haha his wife gets paid more than him”,“women cannot be surgeons; they cannot handle the pain…(as if medicine is only about death).”

This is a thread testimony that equality is much farther than we would like it to be. I have personally fallen victim of those words above amongst young men, women, & those whom I’ve considered modern/developed in their thinking. It might seem kind of “cliché” to read the above,

The basis of this difference is simply cultural.
One might even argue it’s the physician’s lifestyle choices regardless of gender.
However, I’ve realized that the bulk of this decision is society’s acceptance of a female surgeon & whether or not she is seen competent enough.

And most importantly, we need to provide women w/ the professional training they deserve & want to have.
We need to invest in them focused time & serious effort as much as it is invested in their male counterparts.
This is when fundamental change happens.
This is empowerment.

for the 62 y.o with pancreatic cancer who died as I resuscitated him, for his sisters’ cries and his daughter’s tears.
I lit a candle for each one of them. I now know what it means.
For their grieve, for their pain, for their strength.
