I’ve witnessed your unremitting commitment to the patients and the community over the last decade. You’ve worked tirelessly to find ways to improve the lives of the people you care for. I’m very proud this work is being recognized with this prestigious honor. So well deserved!
Incredibly honored to be selected for this year’s @DukeU Presidential Award! What we’ve been able to accomplish over the last few years during unprecedented times in the @dukeemergency department is the result of tireless work from our Duke student leaders and volunteers!

Awesome to get back to @lymanbriggs @michiganstateu to talk graduating seniors about diversity, equity and inclusion in graduate school and the workforce! Thanks for the invite Dr. Montgomery! #GoGreen
So many! Difficult to make out my resting facial expressions; dropped my lipstick budget way down; limit the hospital smells! Not sure I’ll ever go back to maskless at work.
As we in the medical field try to focus on the positive, what’s the best non-Covid reason for wearing a mask? 😷

Is it frowned upon to refer to the “waiting room” as the “reflection room” after seeing unvaccinated patients in triage presenting for covid testing? Asking for a friend (EM providers everywhere)

Hi friends, I did a thing. 🙇🏿♀️
I wrote a piece on vaccine hesitancy in communities of color and seeing it online is just—😭. Thank you Dr. @JohnPurakal for your tremendous help and guidance as I continue to find my voice as a future clinician.
