Pro tip: Don't ever assume the role of a person in a patient's room. I've asked "Is this your daughter?" ...it was his son. I've asked "is this your wife?" ...it was his daughter. It can get awkward. Now I say, "And you are his...?"

🧵(1/3) Last year, Henry, aged 9, started to struggle with symptoms of OCD. The world became an anxiety inducing place for him, robbing him of simple childhood pleasures like playing freely outside and hugging his siblings.

Neurosurgery: Don't sleep on your stomach. It raises your ICP. Sleep Medicine: Don't sleep on your back. It worsens sleep apnea. Me: How in the world am I supposed to sleep then?! – at Seattle, WA

I was just discussing with a neighbor (with a PhD in neuroscience) how doctors turn studies about medical racism into more medical bias-- as a Black woman I get treated like my BLACKNESS puts me at more risk for health problems when the problem is the ANTI-BLACKNESS of doctors.

Today is #TransDayOfVisibility. I’m a trans ER doctor working to improve the care of trans and gender expansive folks. No matter how strong the anti-trans rhetoric gets —we are still here and we are resilient.

Very excited to finally have this published! My coauthor and I persevered against some racist reviewer feedback with the first journal submission 😰 but we believed in this paper! Shoutout to @DopeGuyTai for helping us reset for strong comeback! doi.org/10.1080/21683603.202…
