Here is the thing to understand about flattening the curve.

It only works if we take necessary measures before they seem necessary.

And if it works, people will think we over-reacted.

We have to be willing to look like we over-reacted.

It’s no secret that health and wealth are connected

[Rachel Swarns @rachelswarns]

It's at times like these that the vast disparities in wealth seem so painfully clear. Who can avoid crowded subways? Who can work from home and still receive a paycheck? Who can stock up on medicines and extra food? Which folks have laptops at home so the kids can learn remotely?

Above all, ask fat patients for feedback. Disproportionately, our world is geared toward talking about fat people without talking to fat people. As a health care provider, you’re in a powerful position to shift that dynamic with your patients.

10 ways to provide accessible care for fat patients that will benefit the rest of your practice too:
-Get bigger chairs so your office is physically accessible for different bodies
-Test BP at the end of a visit after building trust
-Don’t withold care until patients lose weight

I encourage my followers to think critically about #BellLetsTalkDay.

It’s laudable to destigmatize discussions about mental health, but consider the impact of @Bell @ONsafety Prison Phone Contract on some of the *most* vulnerable members of society.

Thread⬇️... great work estimating carbon footprint of CaRMS application interview process. As a profession we need to use the tech we have to do things differently.
