“The device has kept my #depression at bay, allowing me to return to my best self,” Sarah tells @nytimes. In an exciting breakthrough, UCSF doctors implanted a small device in her brain to deliver "pulses of electrical stimulation to stave off depression.” ucsfh.org/3BaomNP

Thank you @MartinaStippler for setting out to decrease gender disparity in neurosurgery and serving as an inspiration. In her own words we cannot become what we don’t see. Highly recommend this latest podcast. @WINSneurosurge1 @NSGYPodcast

Anyone have trouble dealing w uncertainty? Instead of taking on the whole word, “uncertainty,” break it down by letter and just take on, “U.” You can only truly impact your reaction & feelings about the situation so just focus on that. #MedTwitter

An absolute honor and a privilege! Forever grateful to @SWMedFoundation for this immense honor and to @UTSWedu for an incredible 4 years of support!
Each year the @SWMedFoundation awards a doctor the Ho Din Award, the most prestigious honor by the medical school. This year's awardee is @Natasha_Housh, a fourth-year med student set to attend @JohnsHopkins for her general surgery residency. More at bit.ly/3uxANQr

Delayed diagnosis, limited access, and underrepresentation in cancer related clinical trials are some of the reasons people of color experience inequity in cancer care. #RepresentationMatters @NarjustDumaMD @DrWinkfield @SocBlackNeuro @WNGtweets @MayoCancerCare @DrSadhanaJ
April is National Minority Cancer Awareness Month. Though cancer can affect anyone, not all groups experience cancer equally. In an effort to prevent, treat, and survive cancer, the multiple inequities that contribute to disparity must be addressed. #nmhm2021

Indian-American neurosurgeon and writer Paul Kalanithi once said: "that words are the surgeon's only tool when there's no place for the scalpel."
