Aren’t You the Valet? Tales of Black American Surgeons | NEJM Today, in the US, it is as if there are 2 different scripts being loudly declaimed trying to drown each other out. The escalating chant “BLM” is countered by … cancel culture & White supremacy. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
@selwyn_rogers Thank you for sharing loudly such simple but powerful anecdotes.
@selwyn_rogers Curious what your professional organization is doing to address unacceptable assumptions and behaviors at their meeting?
@selwyn_rogers Thanks Selwyn for your writing. We did a qualitative study of Black residents 20 years ago with the very same findings. The legacy of race based slavery lingers hundreds of years into our country. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17019911/
@selwyn_rogers Moving piece constant reminder of much work to be done in medicine and America. Thanks for sharing my dear friend @selwyn_rogers and see you soon @ACHEConnect Congress. 🙏👍
@selwyn_rogers @dominiqus Oh cut this false crap.
@selwyn_rogers Excellent essay. Just this year 2023 an anesthesia resident assumed I was the nurse in my own OR asking me to get warm blankets for her patient. I very kindly told her I was the attending surgeon and she was intubating my patient but I will find someone to help you. #1000 cuts
@selwyn_rogers And yet you resist. And persist. I see you. I see us. And we gon’ be alright !! Thanks for writing. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for leading. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 #BlackMenInMedicine
@selwyn_rogers Powerful perspective. Thx for writing it w/ @orlandokirton1. Glad @NEJM published it.
@selwyn_rogers Good book to read: "The Violin Conspiracy" by Brendan Slocumb. Same theme, different profession. Sigh
@selwyn_rogers Heartbreaking. I'm so sorry.
