Medical students notoriously have a hard time entering the OR for the 1st time. Now imagine the added weight Muslim women carry in figuring out hijab-friendly sterile dress options. PPE and scrubs are designed for men's bodies - large sizes, long pants, low-cut tops. 1/

What message does it send when women, of all backgrounds, quite literally don't "fit" in the profession? Especially now, misfitting PPE can be a matter of life or death. While in the general population, COVID impacts men more, in HCW this is flipped.

Account for gender/sex to make personal protective equipment safer for women

Women accounted for 73% of the more than 9,000 U.S. health care workers who had been infected with the novel coronavirus by early April. The design of personal protective equipment might be to blame.

Women have noted masks and other PPE are too large to create protective barriers or seals. This is a failure in design. When designers are not well-versed in inclusivity, they fail to meet a basic principle of universal design: the product has to work for everyone who uses it.

So my first (short) day is done, at least in the hospital. Here are my observations: 1. I have a small head. No, this is not news, but try to put a bunch of PPE on a small head, and you’ll see why this matters (see video) 2. Things that were not normal now seem normal. 1/

I have no explanation for why I started listening to true crime podcasts this week other than my subconscious trying to tell me there are scarier things in the world than submitting ERAS.

It feels like the institutional form of performative allyship is creating a D&I committee, then making the first agenda item being recognized for D&I efforts. Putting POC in videos/newsletters, without considering the actual experiences of POC within the institution. #DiM2021

7. If you don’t understand the plan in the morning, you’re not gonna understand it during the day. If you’re responsible for executing a plan, make sure you understand “the big picture.” This will actually be more efficient/time effective in the long run.

Grateful to serve as a small group leader for the annual @CleClinicLCM M3 workshop on microaggressions in clinical settings -- we go through real scenarios and brainstorm how to support our peers using our "allyship toolkit." here are some highlights (hard to pick!)

AERD (aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease/Samter triad) under-diagnosis related to false perception as rare esoteric disease, but just as common as rheumatoid arthritis! ~30s age of onset. Toradol/all NSAIDs exacerbate. pearls via @VanderbiltENT lecture today, pic via Google

Brilliant classmate and friend @Perry_Dinardo , mentored by Dr. Rome, in the New York Times today. She’s a @CleClinicLCM student applying Pediatrics and I’m sad I am already too old to be her first patient #PedsMatch21 #tweetiatrician

awesome virtual social hour by @UChicagoOHNS tonight! Breakout rooms with 2 residents + roughly 8 applicants = a unique format to facilitate more natural conversation. Loved getting to meet #ENTweeps :)

@DShadowgazer I *never* have all the ingredients I need to bake something when I’m in the mood to bake it. I consider ingredient substitutions and Frankenstein-ing recipes to be my secret talent. This is from when I didn't have yeast for a babka ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
