Six years ago, I was in the exact same place I am right now but instead of working with tiny tots, I was having my own. Happy 6th Birthday to my sweet girls!

- 1 hour into my shift: “Send that nigger doctor in here! And bring me a whip. My grandaddy owned slaves.” It’s going to be a triple caffeinated sort of day. #MedTwitter
- New attending started today Me: ***starts presenting** Him: “I’m sorry, who are you?” Me: “LOL. We just met. Alana” Him: “No. I mean, why is a nurse presenting these patients?” Me: “I’m…not a nurse.” Him: **looks at badge** “Oh. This makes more sense.” 🫠🫠 T- 10 months
- A few days ago, a patient called me a nigger. I pushed it to the back of my mind and when I left work, I cried in my truck for hour. Then convinced myself I was fine. That’s toxic AF. Don’t be me. Protect your peace. #BlackHistoryMonth #MedTwitter #BlackinMedicine
- Replying to @onetrick_phonyMy co-residents and the nurses handled the situation really well. For me, knowing the people I work with have my back is the best support I can get and they did that!
- Replying to @CranburyDanserYeah. That’s not really the point. It’s clear that nurses don’t present on rounds here, on this service, because he was confused as to why I was presenting…when he thought I was a nurse.
- We’ve lost 6 people today. SIX. Just our team. SIX. WTAF. I am not okay. #medtwitter #GetVaccinatedNow
- Wanna know what it’s like being #Blackinmedicine? I received this text in the middle of a group study session, from a White colleague. I wondered why she was texting me while sitting next to me. Then I read it... #medstudenttwitter #Medtwitter #meded #ebonyintheivory
- I’m just so overwhelmed with emotion. I’m going to be a #MedPeds physician. #MP4L #BlackMatch2021 #Match2021
- #MedTwitter, I survived my week of nights in MICU. I’ve had to pronounce someone dead AT LEAST once each night. I’m tired of begging people to get vaccinated but…please, get vaccinated. This is devastating.
- Me as man gets on elevator: Which floor? Him: Oh, you can’t badge me in. Im pretty sure only healthcare providers can access these floors. **sees him read my badge** Me as I exit the elevator: Have a good day, doc! #MedTwitter #diversitymatters #diversityinmedicine
- Oh, attending, co-residents, nurses have been great.
- Y’all’s. My husband showed OUT for this Match Day Celebration!! Thank you #MedTwitter for this coat. I shall be insufferable. #MatchDay2021 #MP4L
