    Had coffee with daughter and wife of a patient who passed late 2018. This 12 year old wanted to surprise me with 3k she raised last year for #PancreaticCancer research . She told me she did this so other families don’t have to go through what they did

    much to say about today but focusing on a celebration of a legend in medicine. blessed to be a part of the @MGHMedicine family “raised” by this one of a kind person - the very best of humans who made us all better. Unveiling of a beautiful portrait that will be forever at #mgh

    For the skeptics, enrolled our daughter in moderna trial. could get placebo, gets multiple blood draws and ultimately could still need 2 more shots but when asked. “want to keep me, my family and friends safe. want to help!” Insights from a 7 yr old! @mihirsparikh @MGHMedicine

    Couldn’t figure out how to edit from screen shot protecting some info. This from a meeting. disappointed to continue to see lack of understanding re impact of Covid for women #MedTwitter #WomenInMedicine actively hindering participation of women. “Avoid having small children..”

    Women lifting women in #medicine . Delayed but coming home to these from none other than @PamelaKunzMD when my promotion came through, brought many smiles/happy tears. Find the people that believe in you, cheer you on, have your back and nurture these wonderful relationships❤️

    “Hey @taylorswift13”my 25 year old patient who just went on hospice is leaving the hospital tonight to see your concert — would mean the world to her if you could give her a shout out. DM me if you can!

    Thought. Submitted 1st r01 (submitting another big grant next week) while on service/have clinic, sprinkle in few talks(oh & life with 3 kids) & I’m fried. few yrs ago, I’d be 💪🏽 re productivity but realize more & more the “pride” taken for wearing ourselves out probably shameful
