Despite being underpaid, overworked, and used as political pawns, teachers have a tremendous impact on who we become. I tracked down one of my teachers recently and thanked him but learned another had passed and didn’t get to thank her. Thank them now before it’s too late.

Beyond the Data: my TCTMD video for the SENIOR-RITA Trial ➡️ tctmd.com/videos/beyond-… Thank you to Prof Rob Storey who had to step in at short notice for Professor Vijay Kunadian

I’m pretty sure that none of y’all need to worry about Kamala Harris taxing non realized capital gains. This would affect less than 11,000 people in the US (those worth >$100 million) and if that IS you hit me up and let’s feed some people.

GREAT catch by Likely but that toe was on the line. #ChiefsKingdom

The problem list in the EHR is often a conglomerate of observations and not diagnoses. Don’t confuse the two.

“ I'm never gonna let you go I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever Gonna try and make up for all the times I hurt you so” 80’s classic. #RIPSergioMendes 🕊️

They tell us you have to do twice as much to get half as far and when you do, the goalpost is moved. Being smarter, happier, and more prepared brings criticism. This is an unfortunate reality that happens to women and people of color.
