    I met Dr. Steven Gay, @umichmedicine dean of admissions, seven years ago as a college junior at Louisiana State University. I had never heard of Michigan and had little desire or confidence to apply after finding out it was the 10th ranked best medical school in country.

    My partner and I were involved a major head on car collision Tuesday night. We both suffered lower extremity fractures (her ankle, me, femur and acetabulum). The car I was driving was unrecognizable. Will be a long road to recovery, but in awe to be alive right now. โค๏ธ

    Iโ€™ve been questioned for being in the medical school library without my ID. These people have their FEET ON Pelosiโ€™s desk. Iโ€™m literally in awe.

    Thank you all for the get well wishes. Iโ€™m having a hard time replying to everyone but please know Iโ€™m trying and I appreciate the unwavering support! Today, I walked to the door and back, and transferred to the edge of the bed twice :)

    One of my patients is getting a hair cut in his room right now. No I mean a real haircut. His barber is in the room with a full setup. Cape, shaving cream, multiple clippers. Iโ€™ve seen it all. ๐Ÿ™ƒ #keepittight

    Replying to @ThatBlackMD
    I donโ€™t know if he ever knew I was emulating his presence. Seven years, 3 degrees, a host of academic achievements laterโ€”and one of my proudest moments was being called โ€œcolleagueโ€ and taking a picture with my dean. I give you Dr. Black and Dr. Gay. #MelaninInMedicine #GoBlue

    These are the reasons I have to use my twitter banner to publicize black human rights in medicine while you post a picture of yankee stadium as yours. Ainโ€™t that convenient.
