Positive comments about this tweet. Even the most talented and accomplished people, when not part of the majority, feel they have to stay silent when they see discrimination so as no to jeopardize future opportunities or careers. That’s how discrimination persists. Speak up.

I migrated from a third world country. I’m a proud American. Didn’t speak English when I got here. I’ve been educated at top institutions. I’ve helped save thousands of lives. I’ve contributed to science and education. I’ve ASSIMILATED WELL, just not based on your definition.

Psychiatry was eye-opening, fun and gratifying. Very interesting field from which all MDs could learn a lot from. On to Family Medicine!
And just like that, peds clerkship is over 😕. Hopefully will do an elective next year!
Apparently there's evidence for whey protein relieving allergy symptoms. #SurpriseSurprise
