Universal BCVI screening boosts detection 9x vs WTA and may prevent stroke in 1 of every 142 patients scanned. Early diagnosis = early and effective treatment = better outcomes. @TrankiemTrauma @jakebroome @GUH_WHCSurgRes @MedStarWHC #AAST2025 static.coreapps.net/aast2025…

Residency is one of the most physically and mentally taxing things I’ve ever done. Here is a phenomenal narrative medicine perspective by one of my very own attendings @journeycancer about protecting our own. Thank you for sharing your story, Drs. Boulay @NEJM #narrativemedicine

Some say that those who offer the Iranian protesters hope are putting them in danger by encouraging them to protest I say: #MahsaAmini wasn’t protesting when she was murdered. For 43 yrs the IR has killed Iranians in the dark. Shame on anyone who attempts to turn off the light.

I’m running out of words to describe my astonishment. Just over 3 weeks after #MahsaAmini’s death, women are defiantly walking on the streets of #Tehran, with no hijab…while cars are honking in their supports. Mahsa couldn’t have imagined how she changed life for many Iranians.

This feels surreal to say, but I am excited (and slightly terrified) to share my vulnerable new solo-authored essay in JAMA Cardiology about the personal effects of experiencing gender bias as a medical student. Thank you for reading ❤️ #IAmEnough #WIMMonth #WomenInMedicine #WIC

Elective surgeon: mess up their particular draping ritual and ruin the entire case. Trauma surgeon: willing to operate with a Hardee’s employee as first assist.
