Research shows that Black folks suffer PTSD from watching videos of Blacks being killed by police. It’s a phenomenon called “linked fate”, where we see ourselves and loved ones in the place of the victim. Be careful watching the Tyre Nichols murder video. Protect your mind.

I am not going to watch another video of a Black man being assaulted, abused, and murdered by the police.

Never in a million years did I think I could say these thoughts out loud in a Stanford Medicine required course, let alone as an invited lecturer. Well get into it honey! The future is radical and we’re here to stay!

Things I LOVE about being a #blackdoctor #bhm #blackhistorymonth #medtwitter

I grew up in an underserved community in Brooklyn, NY as a first-gen student and a child of Egyptian immigrants. I know everything there is to know about Medicaid and have been a part of government funded clinics my entire life. 1/2 #VDXxMedGradWishList #MedGradWishList

I almost decided not to become a doctor "It's too expensive" "My high school didn't prepare me to be pre-med" "I don't know a doctor, how can I become one?" For these reasons + more, low-income students are unable or decide not to pursue medicine.. link.springer.com/article/10.100… 1/x

It took 8 weeks of me being by myself after finishing rotations (no school, no emails, nothing but me) for me to finally unpack my med school trauma and start to heal. All I can say is: God was a fence🙏🏾 Med school is tough but med school in MS was crazy! amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…

"Black women’s hair is 2.5x more likely to be perceived as unprofessional. Because of this, 2/3 of Black women change their hair for a job interview...nearly half (44%) of Black women under 34 feel pressured to have a headshot with straight hair." #WomensHistoryMonth #blackhair

This is why mentorship, guidance, support, and overall uplifting each other is so important. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Spoke with Elaine Chen STAT about a new report showing that “about 16.8 million Black Americans, roughly 1 in 3, live in counties with little or no access to a cardiologist.” Major health equity & workforce implications from this. cc GoodRx 📰: statnews.com/2023/05/02/bla…

The numbers on premature death and low life expectancy in Black communities always hit hard, but a new analysis is like a punch in the gut: In past two decades, 1.63 million lives and 80 million years of life lost. It's a national crisis. statnews.com/2023/05/16/pre… via STAT
