Wound healing and limb salvage specialist in my adopted state of Mississippi, a place with significant barriers to health. #socialdeterminantsofhealth #limbsalvage #diabetes #woundhealing #healthcareforall
##socialdeterminantsofhealth are powerful. I have patients who can't afford their medication, new shoes, or are homeless. Of course, these things affect their healing rates and their mental health. I wish everyone had a level playing field.

Many plantations in the south have been repurposed, and their true history erased. I will not tour their grounds or ever support them. If we had tackled our horrendous history head-on, I believe we would not be in this pickle so many years later.

The only seasoning MAGA should be allowed is Mayo. MAGA should be turned away from enjoying southern soul food, Latino, African, Middle Eastern, or any other well seasoned food. If you dislike others so much, you don't get to enjoy their food. No seasoning for you.

In 2004, shy student me had the opportunity to meet and take a picture with then mayor @governor.ca.gov
Newsom has always been a trail blazer. He allowed same gender marriages before the rest of the country. My hope is that his current efforts in CA will trickle into places like MS.

Today, I spoke at a local senior center about diabetes and lower extremity health. I was astounded that this community had no grocery store. There was a dollar general and a gas station. The closest grocery store was in next community 20 minutes away.

Today, my lovely patient and his wife came for a follow-up. He thanked me profusely for the surgery that saved his foot. He then goes on to say, "well I hope things get better with Trump". It took everything out of me to not say, "because of this administration's cuts to Medicaid, this and other

Today, the body of the beloved hospital physician was laid to rest. I hugged his wife and let her know how kind he was to me, how he made me feel listened to, how he respected my opinion, and bragged on me to others. I will cherish that forever. May we all aspire to his kindness and generosity.

Today, I found out a talented physician passed away. He dedicated his whole life to healing his Mississippi community, and I had the opportunity to treat him. He was kind, appreciated my knowledge set, and spoke kindly about me. He will be missed. This one hit hard.

This doctor’s letter to United Healthcare insurance company is making the rounds on social media for denying a child with cancer nausea medication.
Patients and doctors alike are sick of it. We all need to stand up. There are more of us than there are of them.

In my feelings today after yesterday's bill passed. I will always choose the side of helping all people regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, beliefs, legal status etc, and I know most believe the same. Good will triumph.

The hypocrisy of it all. He and his family have excellent healthcare coverage through our government, but he will deny it to his state - one of the poorest in the nation.

There are times when the world at large is so cruel and unfair. It can be overwhelming. Each morning I get up and help the person in front of me. Did I help them heal their wound, get needed resources, help them understand their disease state better? We all help make the world better in our own way.
