Advice for IMGs on visas based on experience: Make every effort to regularly visit your home countries and spend time with your parents. The memories you create may be your last memories together. Opportunities will always knock on your door but your parents won’t.

I just love telling patients with recovering kidney function they no longer need dialysis. Every-time I type “please remove dialysis catheter” I get a sense of joy and happiness that is beyond expression.
One of the most debated topics in nephrology.
Is intravenous contrast associated with AKI in CKD 1-3?

As I was driving to Starbucks to write a paper, my car led me to this stunning place. As I listened to Frank Sinatra’s “My way”, that narrates the story of my father, who I lost unexpectedly 2 months ago thousands of miles away, I pondered upon my father’s life. 🧵1/6
Although preparing a CKD 5 patient for dialysis is one of my most dreaded moments, I force myself to imagine myself in his/her shoes, which prompts me to deliver the news in the gentlest and most humane way possible. Only then do I feel a little better.
Ramadan is the month of good deeds, caring, sharing, giving and helping anyone in need. Ramadan Mubarak from our home to yours! 😊🌙🕌 مبارك عليكم شهر رمضان الكريم
Anybody heard of outpatient dialysis patients eating mustard for muscle cramps during dialysis? Apparently its a unanimous thing here in Mississippi. That could explain why everyone has a bag of Chik-fil-a.

Eid Mubarak everyone. Coming from someone who has not seen his parents for 1.5 years, and his wife and children for 7 months, I hope you all get the chance to spend invaluable times as these with your families, and to cherish these moments, for they will not come back again.
Good morning! To everyone who is struggling out there, including those who did not match, those fighting an illness, financial issues, or just going through a hard time: stay persistent 🦾. You will get there. 1/2

to always ask patients if they preferred their room door open or closed as it gives them a sense of control over their care during a time of vulnerability. A simple act can make a big difference!

I was working outside when I noticed a little girl with one arm that reminded me of my dad. I walked up to her mom and told her “Don’t give up on her. She will do great things in life”

My father was born with 1 arm due to the teratogenic effect of Thalidomide, which forced him to drop out of medical school. He stood solid like a rock 🪨 and became the most successful person I have ever known. 25 years later his son became the first physician in the family. 2/2.

My most important publication will be out soon. It is not a new drug, review, or ground breaking research. It is an inspiring story and a legacy that I hope to be carried for years and years to come. If you need some inspiration, hang in there, and stay tuned.

It doesn’t matter how many times you fall as long as you pick yourself up again. Persevere, prioritize your goals in life and be there for the ones you love. Always stop to reflect and recharge. Time is your most valuable asset. Use it wisely.

Recently watched my daughter take her first steps. Every-time she fell she stood back up again, as if she heard me saying “Stay persistent and never give up”.
