#MedTwitter Any IM programs with unfilled spots interested in taking a military trans resident about to lose their job?

#MedTwitter I'm once again asking for the best IM residency programs for transgender docs getting banned from the military.

Anyone have recommendations for good civilian IM residencies for a trans person who may be displaced by another trans ban?

You cannot simultaneously say that "distress is not a reason for body modification" and also support breast reduction, low T clinics, hair transplants, etc. If you use this argument only against trans people, that's bigotry, not medicine.

People like this are the ones shouting "your body my choice"

AAP President Dr. Ben Hoffman in a statement: “The nomination of RFK Jr. to be Secretary of HHS offers an important opportunity to share the settled science on vaccines with govt leaders, policymakers and the American public.” Read the full statement: bit.ly/3Crc750

I cannot put my grief into words. But… #Pediatrics does not back down. We will continue to work days and nights and holidays and weekends to do the right thing for children and families. We won’t be silenced. We won’t be bullied. We are children’s health experts and our life’s…

The MAHA crew wants to “ban glyphosate” - which isn’t surprising considering that RFK Jr. was on the legal team for the lawsuits claiming glyphosate causes cancer. It doesn’t. There is over 30 years of data to show that. But he’s made LOTS of money off lawsuits AND fear. 1/

“It’s not going to affect you.” It did. From July 26, 2017 - Jan 25, 2021, it did. And how unbelievably incredibly privledged a person must be to not be affected and not care about the others who were and will be.

Your vote is critical today to prevent this antivax dipshit from having power over our health institutions.

This person claims to be a physician.

Happy Halloween!

Presence of pretty lab numbers doesn't always mean that compensation is appropriate. Do your math.

Common sense is not always rational. You cannot cite common sense and expect it to do your heavy lifting for you.
