Years ago when I was a radiology resident I questioned an OB GYN for ordering a CT on a pregnant patient. I wondered why there was no concern for irradiating the fetus, for which the OB GYN simply responded: “No mother, no baby”. Learned an important lesson that day.

As a student I was told that all you’re given in this country is an opportunity. Then I became a PD and realized that even the opportunity had to be earned. Then I became a mentor and got convinced that opportunities are just not equal for all. It broke my heart and still does

Slowly losing hope for #Match2023 . I went unmatched last year, I was heartbroken, but didn’t give up, I did rotations, got new letters, did research, presented posters, doing everything I can, this year match season it’s just not fair. Don’t know where to find hope now

So unfortunately you didn’t MATCH. What now? Start with this. 1. Take time to HEAL and recover. 🧳🧘‍♂️🛫🏖🏕 2. Honest introspection. 3. Stay active next year: Internship or research. 4. Get involved in all societies of your specialty. 5. Time to revamp ERAS.

All our residents passed the ABR Core exam. I know it's bragging, but I don't care. It was a crazy bumpy ride for this group and I'm extremely proud of them.

My career is Radiology. My calling is education. I chose Radiology. Education chose me. I’m passionate and grateful for both. #MedEd

We ranked 105 applicants. Yesterday, I was wishfully hoping to match 105 applicants. It didn't happen. Wishful thinking aside, I couldn't be more excited to match these amazing physicians! Sweepstakes Winner! 🙋‍♂️ @ghannam_sammar @kimcoffmanmph @mahad_minhas

The neurosurgery residency program at the Univ. of Puerto Rico just lost its accreditation. Terrible. 😥 Please help these residents find a new home. They’re all excellent and hard working. Puerto Rico needs them to finish training, now more than ever.

“When I was a resident 20 years ago… Blah, blah, blah…” Please, save it. Nobody cares and if making lives better for others bothers you so much… consider taking a chill pill. ✌️ 🙄 #SorryNotSorry 🙄

On board heading to Puerto Rico. Little girl sitting behind me gave me this - a candy cane and ear plugs, just in case she got nervous and cried. I still remember first trip with Ami as a newborn and how mean some folks were when she cried. Be kind. Always.
