I thought the pictures from the following site caught my attention. These are pictures put together from Twitter and Huffpost was nice enough to post it on their site. Look through the pictures and see what you think. My question is this: do medical students or doctors for that matter have a duty to engage in activism? Many of you have heard about police brutality and the systemic discrimination that people of color and other minorities face in this country and this is highlighted by recent police killings. I admire the courage of those who stand for justice regardless of one's background. But I am just interested to know what you think regarding the role of students in engaging in this kind of activism which I call "Doctivism". Any thoughts? Please keep it civil.
