A truck is not a speech. A horn is not a voice. An occupation is not a protest. A blockade is not freedom, it blocks the liberty of all. A demand to overthrow a government is not a dialogue. The expression of hatred is not a difference of opinion. A lie is not the truth.
Entering a third year of pandemic, seeing the many conversations about burnout, thinking of ER/ICU/Hospital Med staff members who’ve done so much… It might be a good time to resurrect @StefanTigges creation of a “burnout superhero” named ‘Cinder.’ (Added sidekick “Ash”).
Hey! Look! Did you see that massively huge convoy of health workers who has gone in to work each & every day to provide healthcare for vulnerable people amidst staffing shortages, snowstorms & a raging pandemic? Yeah...shoutout to that convoy. That convoy is the best. 🙌🏾
Expecting everyone to be available at all times is a recipe for burnout.
Unless there's a crisis, being a good colleague isn't about responding rapidly. It's about clarity and reliability.
Clarity is communicating your priorities. Reliability is delivering on your commitments.
@UHN and #MedEd have the opportunity to make meaningful, lasting change if they implement organizational changes for burnout. Let's rise to this challenge!
This PIECE is GOOD.
"This method may have relative success in producing a cohort of individuals who can draw the brachial plexus on demand & recite side effects of peculiar antiquated medications, but it significantly limits us from being “good doctors”
