This is what happens when the majority of peoples first job is one with enormous amounts of power.. I’ve been luckily protected from most in more humanity oriented institutions but overall med culture is shockingly toxic. Working other jobs prior to medicine is VERY protective

People go to med school for more debt, lower salaries, and less chance of actually getting to BE A CLINICIAN than ever before!! Not something I was EVER told about in my decade+ of pursuing this career - actually the opposite if anything
In 2022 roughly 7% of medical school graduates did not match into residency. The avg 2023 med school graduate owes $250k in total debt. Physician wages are falling behind inflation. Should medical schools disclose such information to applicants?

For those asking: 1. Here is a petition to keep Bluestockings open and accessible: change.org/p/keep-bluestocki… 2. They ask for donations (or to BUY A BOOK) via their website: bluestockings.com
Lower East Side residents are trying to close Bluestockings bookstore because they give out narcan, socks, and toothpaste and let unhoused people go to the bathroom. Vile, disgusting behavior from LES gentrifiers. curbed.com/2023/12/bluestock…

As the only one in my friendship group who's single and without kids, I know what it's like to feel lonely. I live alone and I'm a seasoned lone traveller, solitary cafe go-er and solo diner. Here's 10 things I remind myself to do on those days when I'm feeling isolated. 🧵

it’s all art. the way you laugh. your smile. your wardrobe. & the way you decorate your home. the way you dance. your energy. your collection of books. & the way you write. your playlists. your grocery lists. your friendships. it’s all art. your whole life is art.

With the holidays coming up, I wanted to remind you of Transanta! You can read wish lists from trans youth across the country, and send them gifts they’ve requested. This is a great way to spread some love to trans young people this season <3 transanta.com/

i worked at a refugee clinic there a few years ago when trump's anti migrant policy was in full swing. after biden became president it felt like people just stopped talking about this. med students and physicians alike there are many opportunities to offer aid!

If you've fallen out of practice of wearing a mask, this would be a good week to start again! COVID rates are rising because of a new variant, and because many people will have gotten sick over Thanksgiving. Your best protection is wearing a high quality mask.
