    A patient complained that they didn’t like the “political statement” of my scrub cap and lanyard. #gaysurgeon

    The picture was taken while alone in my office where I have a hepa filter continuously running. I wear an N95 everywhere else at work.

    I see your box braids and raise you locs. Never have I ever seen a white person who looked good in locs.

    Back when I did locums, I got called to repair a kid’s face lac. When I insisted the kid needed to be sedated before I started moving a needle towards her face I got so much “why can’t you just numb it?!” pushback, she was THREE.

    I get a multipack that’s a range of different colors. And usually wear pink one with this scrub cap

    I had a fellowship PD ask me “why should I pick you over the 35 other applicants who want this spot?” I tooted my own horn and answered. He asked if I had any questions for him. “Yes. Why should I choose your program over any of the other 16 places I’m interviewing?”

    I’m sorry this happened to you. Wish you had had a gay bestie nearby to aggressively harass him back: “I’m single and love to dance. How about I grind up on you for a minute. Oh you’re not gay? Yeah, that’s a problem for me.”

    Someone printed this in the office and left it on the printer. 👀 And no, the urology’s offices aren’t near trauma’s.

    Rebecca Lee Crumpler became the USA’s first black, female physician in 1864. So unless the patient is… 158 years old, this excuse doesn’t hold water. How hard is it for the hospitalist to say “Wow. That was really racist, I’m so sorry.”?!??
