A sentinel node biopsy helps determine if cancer has spread beyond the breast. A dye or tracer identifies the first lymph node draining the tumor area — the “sentinel.” Pathologists test it during surgery to guide next steps. #TheMedicalCollective #AskPath #BreastHealth #Pathology #medsky

Do you remember the tracking device pseudo theory about the COVID-19 shot?💉 And nanoparticles? Nanoparticles = small lipid carriers, not chips. If we’re worried about tracking, start with our phones & smart speakers — not vaccines. #TheMedicalCollective #PublicHealth #ScienceExplained #medsky

🎗️ Men can get breast cancer too. All humans have breast ducts — but only women develop lobules under hormones. That’s why male breast cancers are mostly ductal and often diagnosed late. #TheMedicalCollective #AskPath #medsky 💬 Should breast cancer campaigns highlight men more?

Non-experts spread “medical advice” online with no accountability. Doctors can lose their licenses for misinformation — they can’t. 🎧 The Truth About Medical Credentials 🗣️ Should non-licensed influencers face consequences for false health claims? #TheMedicalCollective #medsky #PublicHealth

Your health insurance premiums are about to rise, jeopardizing the health of your family. And they're building a ballroom. Let that sink in!!!!

🎓 Honorary doctorates recognize achievement — not medical or academic licensure. When used outside scope or from unaccredited institutions, it blurs trust. 🎧 The Truth About Medical Credentials @themedicalcollective www.medical-collective.net #TheMedicalCollective #medsky #HonoraryDoctorate

I contemplated going, but I participated locally and was taken aback by the diversity of people that are fighting for our democracy. There is hope! #NoKings

POV: A doctor stands in front of HHS — the agency meant to protect America’s health — as politics and misinformation threaten it. 🎙️ Coming soon: talk with Rep. Haley + Stand Up for Science Rally (Oct 17). #TheMedicalCollective #medsky #StandUpForScience

🧬 Population screening is the future. Instead of waiting for risk factors, we can screen everyone — like colon cancer screening. This approach could transform breast cancer detection in both men & women. 🎧 themedicalcollective.komi.io #TheMedicalCollective #BreastCancerAwareness #medsky

It’s breast cancer awareness month and I’m going to use my voice to spread awareness! #medsky #breastcancer #diagnosis

💸 Don’t let cost stop you from genetic testing. Insurance covers many tests, out-of-pocket can be ~$250, and help is available if you can’t pay that. 🎧 Full episode: themedicalcollective.komi.io #TheMedicalCollective #medsky

COVID-19 isn’t “just a cold.” Part 1 🫁 Lungs: injury to air sacs + clots ❤️ Heart: myocarditis, risk far higher after infection than vaccine 🩸 Kidneys: damage to filtering tubes → acute kidney injury Part 2 will cover placenta, testes, brain + more. #medsky #covid19 #pathology #TheMedicalCollective

Science feels like WWE right now. At the hearing, Dr. Monarez was attacked by Sen. Rand Paul over hepatitis B vaccines. Testing still matters — moms can contract later & babies can be exposed by caregivers. Day 1 of ACIP? The chair went after AAP for not debating. #medsky #TheMedicalCollective

I am taking a break from going live on TikTok and can’t wait to have a more positive environment to speak about science in healthcare. @skylight.social @skyspaces.bsky.social

🎉 We’re 1 year old! The Medical Collective podcast launched last fall. 24 episodes later, we’re still sharing stories, busting myths, and fighting for better healthcare. Thank you for riding with us. Listen in: themedicalcollective.komi.io #medsky #TheMedicalCollective

I’m sure you heard of the news about a child that passed away years after getting measles when they were not able to get vaccinated. This late sequelae is called subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, and can occur sometimes 2 to 10 years after the acute infection.

Let me get on my high horse and say that we have to follow credible sources because even the CDC is an imposter right now. My podcast the medical collective is a perfect place to get information from a diverse group of physicians with a unified mission.

Dr. Dan shares how awkward humor can be a lifeline in the ER. Sometimes you laugh so you don’t cry. Full episode: Tales from the ER 🎧 themedicalcollective.komi.io #medsky #bluesky #doctorstories #TheMedicalCollective

RFK Jr, we could have worked together. We love health & making sure Americans are healthy is our jam. But you had to go & lie to Americans & destroy public health. No, we don’t like you. Best read and viewed while listening to "Why We Can't Have Nice Things" by Taylor Swift. #USAnotRFK #saveHHS

Chagas headlines are everywhere 🦟 — but not every outbreak is an emergency. In Critical Thinking Corner 4, I break down what’s real, what’s not, and why context matters more than panic.

What’s happening in healthcare and at the hearing this morning is a complete circus at the expense of the American people’s health. #SaveHHS #PublicHealth

Obesity is affecting youth at higher rates — and increasing long-term health risks, including cancer. In this clip from The Medical Collective, I share why this trend matters and what it means for our future. 🎧 Watch the full episode here → themedicalcollective.komi.io

Crazy we have to scramble to get access to preventative care as Covid cases are rising!!!

🚨 The updated COVID-19 booster is here this September. Some people are already running into roadblocks online when trying to book. This clip breaks it down — and why protecting yourself and your community still matters. 👉 More context in The Medical Collective: themedicalcollective.komi.io

Our voice is powerful. Our knowledge, our experience, our expertise- is irreplaceable. #CDC #trustscience #healthcareworkers #healthcareheroes

We, physicians are speaking up! What is happening right now and healthcare is a crisis!

Heat exhaustion = heavy sweating, dizziness, nausea. Heat stroke = confusion, no sweating, possible collapse 🚨. One is serious. The other is an emergency. Know the difference.

Genes aren’t just about eye color 👀 — some mean life or death. Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) = hundreds of colon polyps and nearly 100% #colon cancer risk without surgery. 🧬 Would you want to know if this #gene ran in your family?

Summer’s almost over, but the heat hasn’t gone anywhere. 🌞 Dr. Dan reminds us: hydrate, sunscreen, shade. Simple, but lifesaving. #TheMedicalCollective #SummerER #medsky

Not every “gluten sensitivity” is celiac disease. ✅ Celiac = autoimmune disease proven by antibodies + duodenal biopsy ⚠️ Gluten sensitivity ≠ autoimmune damage Knowing the difference saves lives and prevents complications. @medicalcollective.bsky.social

Two unreasonable people trying to compromise… This should be interesting.

I have always noticed when it comes to layoffs, why certain groups are let go first. Now it’s evident. The amount of black women that have lost their jobs this these last few months is staggering. And I’m talking six and 7 figure salaries!#jobs #BlackWomen

We are literally in a nightmare right now!!!

In the right hands, AI isn’t scary—it’s life-saving. Doctors still make the calls and diagnoses. AI simply helps us do it faster, with better data & fewer blind spots—when trained right. 🎙 Hear more on The Medical Collective podcast (YouTube + all platforms). #AI #Healthcare #TheMedicalCollective

Is there going to be a live space over here? I know there was discussion a while back. TT live has become a joke follow the restrictions and I will never go over to X.

I think I’m just going to stay over here. Posting on TikTok is futile. As a board certified pathologist being flagged for misinformation when the algorithm probably doesn’t even understand what urothelial carcinoma is is ridiculous!

Used AI to plan my Prime Day cart — saved time, skipped the impulse buys, and focused on health + fitness essentials. Efficiency is wellness, too. 💻💪🏽 #PrimeDay #HealthTech #FitnessGear

Texas heat is heating up — and I’m dancing through it. Blood pressure, mood, stress, energy? Dance helps it all. You don’t need a gym. You just need a beat. Don’t overthink it. Just dance. #TheMedicalCollective #DanceMedicine #HealthTalks #BlueSkyDocs

If you know about President Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis here’s a great explanation about what it means!

This is devastating! The Medical Collective is always bringing you. Timely medical updates!
