We did it!! Super excited to announce I am a graduate from the @MedicalCollege. It took a village and I am so thankful for my family, friends, mentors, who helped along the way & to the MCW who gave me this amazing opportunity. Del fondo de mi corazón, mil gracias!!!

Un día como hoy fallece mi padre, Luis Miramontes, químico egresado de la UNAM quien sintetiza, en 1951, la noretisterona, con la cual se elaboró el primer anticonceptivo oral.

🧵regarding the technique of 2-handed knot tying. It's July again, so it's a good time to revisit this 🧵. 2-handed tying is becoming a lost art in surgery, but I believe it is worth learning. We'll start with just the basic steps. Advanced concepts will come later. (1/)

Personal news! About a month ago we welcomed our newest member to the family which is why I’ve been a bit MIA. Will be chiming in from time to time when I can’t help staying away from Econ topics but mostly will be enjoying this new stage of life on parental leave :)

Redo🧵 regarding PDS (polydioxanone) surgical sutures. For reasons that will become evident later, it is useful for me to revisit an old 🧵I posted about PDS 3 years ago. We will again go over the properties of PDS, its history, and what each of the sizes are used for. (1/ )

Thank you Dr. Jackson for such a wonderful presentation on medical education and on highlighting the importance of elaborating on positive feedback with the statement of “Good job because …” and finally congrats on such a well deserved lifetime education award!

Today, on the first of @acog 's Betsey, Lucy, and Anarcha Days of Recognition, we honor Betsey, Lucy, and Anarcha, the enslaved Black women whose violent treatment in the name of medical advancement resulted in the development of a number of modern gynecological practices. (1/2)

Seasonal depression seems fake until it’s above 30° and sunny in February and it feels like a choir of angels is singing as you walk up to the gates of heaven
