We have the technology to mute a meeting attendee. This leads me to believe we have the technology to turn off their camera, as well, yet here we are letting people accidentally turn their phone camera on and having no way to help them out before something mortifying happens

After dedicating 20hrs last weekend to homework for a single class, I’m pleased to announce I received the lowest grade on my assignment that I’ve received on anything since high school all because I submitted it on time, as opposed to ahead of schedule 🫠

So grateful that I got to work with Dr. Colleen Mathews during her PHO fellowship. This plant with the initials of all of our shared patients over the last 3 years was the most thoughtful gift 🥺 She’s simply the best and I’m THRILLED she’s staying with us as faculty!

Backorder of multiple dosages of #Hydroxyurea 🤦🏽‍♀️ Still dealing with #Penicillin shortage in #Indiana😖 Using term “backorder” instead of “shortage” prevents action by @US_FDA to make manufacturers fix the problem. 😡 People w/ #sicklecelldisease deserve better from all of us.

#HappyDoctorsDay I am truly so fortunate to work with the most amazing group of physicians in @PedsHemeOncPGH. I wouldn’t be who I am today without them and our patients are in the very best hands in their care! Also…peep the CBC (cookie blood cells) of appreciation 👇🏼👇🏼
#HappyDoctorsDay to the incredible doctors we have the privilege of working with and learning from every day! S/O to Nicole Jativa, CRNP for showcasing her culinary creativity with this blood cell cookie order from the @PedsHemeOncPGH APPs to celebrate the #PHO faculty & fellows

Sharing again. Cannot believe that we allow this to continue to happen to our children. Our government officials continue to fail us, and unfortunately, one party in particular.
