My #endometeriosis journey. A thread 🧵

NO NOT COOKIE MONSTER!!! 😭😭😭😭
cookie monster, crying, as the body of christ just crumbles and falls from his mouth

Longer statement from Brown University:
"We are very sorry to share that we have confirmed reports of multiple shooting victims, but we are not able to share their condition. They have been transported to local hospitals."

My heart breaks for Brown University. Students should only have to worry about studying for finals right now, not hiding from gunfire.
We’re monitoring a shooting at Brown University, which comes on the second day of final exams. Students, faculty, and staff are living in fear tonight as yet another act of gun violence shakes our communities.

Talked to my mom about that recently. She said I never complained. Maybe because I just thought it was normal? And I couldn’t/shouldn’t complain?

True hubris is thinking you can go to med school because you diagnosed problems on a TV show before the TV doctors did.
