Watch our keynote, Dr. Tommy Martin, do his thing on TikTok!
@dr.tommymartin I am this family…. One of the hardest days of our life was when we received our sons diagnosis… not knowing what it meant for him or his future…. Now we boldly declare his diagnosis does not define his potential but in the waking moment of hearing of his diagnosis the fear in those words echoed so deeply into the depths of our heart….. Inspired by: @TheMedStudentNextDoor “"May I never see in the patient anything but a fellow creature in pain. May I never consider him merely a vessel of disease." - Maimonides” #medicine #humanityinmedicine #medicalstudent #medstudent #nursing #fyp #foryou #doctor #raredisease #lss #lambshaffersyndrome #oliversmiles ♬ original sound - Bella ☮︎
