Happy Tissue Tuesday! Let's focus on the ❤️. What’s your diagnosis for this left atrial lesion? (answer in comments) HPI: Adult patient w/ hx of syncopal episodes, now p/w acute hemiparesis. An echocardiogram reveals the culprit.

#MassGeneralPathology residents have gone all out, decorating the residents’ room for #Halloween! Imagine signing out with a bloody skull over your left shoulder.

Everyone should know what a pathologist does because they impact every. single. person at some point in life.

Happy #MatchDay2024!! Looking forward to those finding out who will match @MGHPathology @BWHPath #PathMatch2024 🔬🧬 & cheering for everyone I really enjoyed meeting during interviews who opted for elsewhere, too! #OnePathology #ForwardTogether #ImWithHer

After 9 years of training, a pathologist in 2024 will get paid $35.36 to diagnose a person’s cancer, compared to $45 in 2000. That is a 45% decrease in inflation-adjusted income. 0.006% of the US population is trained to do this job. When do we say enough is enough?

I say “no worries” a lot for someone who is quite literally filled with all the worries

"Our findings are a call to action for more training in perinatal pathology, or referral of placental pathology to a trained pathologist." #Pedipath #Placentapath #PathResidents We have an open #fellowship slot. You can be part of the solution. journals.lww.com/ajsp/fullte…

Just feeling blessed to have great colleagues, amazing educators, and a supportive environment to prepare me for a future in women’s health pathology ❤️

Dear Mother Nature, Please shed light on which of the human organs is the most important, yet least studied?

Because they spent over a decade to learn. Because they made $12/hour for years (as physicians). Because they put their training ahead of many valuable life goals. Because they’re on call throughout their working years. Because they advocate for us. Because they save lives.

Thoughts on being able to obtain an OB/GYN/BR only job in the southeast after fellowship?

Hey #medicine residents !! PLEASE TRANSFUSE BLOOD PRODUCTS JUDICIOUSLY 🙏🏻 Not every patient with anemia needs blood and not is blood transfusion free of complications. I'll list out a few TRANSFUSION REACTIONS in case you'll have forgotten about them 👇🏻 #MedTwitter 1/10

Today, 35 years ago, I left Communist China and arrived at Austin TX. After a 23-hour flight with two stops and after having gone through years of tyranny, poverty, oppression and indoctrination, I was so excited and happy I finally made it to America, "The Land of Free, The Home of Brave.” I did not have much when I arrived. I was skinny and weighed only 98 pounds. I had a few clothes and books, $100 in my pocket that I borrowed from friends, and over $1200 in debt to my U.S sponsor for air ticket and graduate school fees. I could not speak English fluently, but I was determined to work hard to achieve my American Dream. Today, I am living the American dream: a loving husband (whom I met on the first day), three great kids, three home businesses, live in the Granite State and travel around the world. I am so blessed in this country and I am forever grateful. I hope America still holds the same promise for people who came here for freedom!

Feeling very blessing to have found a specialty with TOO many things I like 😂

Pros/cons of transfusion medicine?
