Cool!

Not formally🤣 I brought this up in an email about something else and he said congrats🤣🤣🤣

I have my schedule all mapped out!

💚- check chicago out
💜- ACR sessions
💛- I’ll have to talk to people
🩵- free food lol
❤️- presentation 😵

Apparently my own rheumatologist will also be at #ACR25.

Wondering if he’s going to come to my session and, if so, whether he think it’s trippy to see his patient present an abstract 🤣

Feel better!!

Also worked on the manuscript some more and attended a CVC & Airway mgmt workshop

The day has been way too productive

#ACR25 things I did today:

1. Zoom rehearsals

2. Reserving spots at the aquarium etc using Chicago CityPass

3. Locating the nearest Trader Joe’s because friends & family be wanting The Goods*

*pastel totes🙃

They just killed NHANES.

Every US public health student learns about this study.

It’s given us all sorts of important knowledge about the health of Americans and they just ended it.

Mine is 6 digits, the first of which is 0 because there aren’t 100k doctors in Taiwan yet.

I vaguely remember the second (7?) and that’s literally it 🙃

I’m grateful! I seriously can’t imagine having to aggressively do ACR stuff while juggling a regular 80-100 hour week.

But my god, the stress 🤣🤣🤣

Radiology rotation is almost like a mini sabbatical!

All I do is give CT contrast, pull out sheaths, make sure no one dies in the MRI suites, and procrastinate on the 50 reports I’ll have to complete by the end of the month.

Thank you! 😊

The working hypothesis is the flu shot doing its thing.

That, or an actual allergy to my slide deck which is on version 10 or something

These physician-patient stories are amazing 🙌

Despite being fairly immunosuppressed à la rituximab, I’ve not been sick in a very long while. Years maybe

But woke up this morning feeling a bit crummy.

Hope it’s not the flu…presentation rehearsals are in a couple of days and I have exactly one day of leave left on this rotation thanks to #ACR25

But there’s an obvious conflict of interest in this study: Dalin, located in Chiayi, Taiwan, is known for its excellent pineapples

Fun fact: 🍍 are affectionately considered bad luck by TW HCWs because they sound like busy in Taiwanese

Dalin TzuChi Hosp. even published a prospective study having a doc eat 🍍 daily for an entire yr & comparing their # of ER consults against the rest of the staff (results not stat significant 🤣)

It’s about time to place an order for pineapple/apple cakes from Sunny Hills! These pastries have a shelf life of 45 days.

Probably the best course of action would be to get them in-store a few days before leaving for #ACR25 but what if they’re out of apple?!

Thank you!☺️

This year at #ACR25, I will be presenting our work, done with colleagues from BWH, on SGLT2 inhibitors and their potential role in preventing autoimmune diseases. The Emerging Investigator Excellence Award that came with it was a nice surprise, thanks @ACRheum !🥹

I'm also an avid traveler, having traveled the entire length of Japan from Hokkaido to Kyushu three times (and I'm always ready for a 4th)! Photography is one of my hobbies as well, though I'm not very good at it.

Outside of work, I am passionate about stationery, ramen, and tech. I used to be a hiker/soccer player/triathlete but currently I'm very out of shape. I still dream about keeping a tiny pet horse someday but a pup would be nice too.

Apart from my interests in medicine, I am also a Mandarin/English translator with experience translating a wide range of materials from academic articles to contemporary Taiwanese poetry and children’s books.

Previously, I worked with the COVID-19 Global Rheumatology Alliance to translate, localize, and disseminate surveys to better understand the experiences of rheumatology patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Owing to 10 years of experience living with SLE, I am also passionate about patient advocacy and patient-centered research. With experiences in basic, clinical, and epidemiological research, I am always on the lookout for new and exciting discoveries in #rheumatology and beyond!

My interests include non-renal #SLE, #APS, interferons, phenotypes, autoimmune manifestations of chronic viral infections including SARS-CoV2 and viral hepatitis, and real-world data in rheumatology particularly pertaining to drug repurposing and phenotypes in CTD.

Hi, my name is Jamie! I am a PGY-1 resident physician at National Taiwan University Hospital in Taipei, Taiwan. In preparation for #ACR25, here's a little bit about myself...

An #ACR26 session on research for early-career investigators with a focus on productivity, time management, and the writing process would be immensely helpful.

OMGGGG! This time with a Real Cat™️?

idk though, I do know that one of them will have a permanent home on the cover of one of my pocket notebooks✨

Yesssss🥹🙌

The #ACR25 app is great. So much better than what we got for ‘22 and ‘23. Adding sessions to the schedule feels like adding stuff to my shopping cart
