A wonderful photo of a group of gas mask-wearing Austro-Hungarian soldiers playing cards. I especially love the guy on the left smoking a cigarette through the mask!

We're giving our official notice today that we are planning to engage in an unfair labor practice strike in @CountyofLA. But we are still hopeful that we can avert this possibility and we urge the County to do the right thing. #Care4USLA

#FixPriorAuth Was told to provide 3 dates/times and be available for all 3;when i asked why, I was told their docs are busy in clinic w/patients. My response that I was also busy in clinic with patients while their doc was being paid to do this was met with "this is what we do"

@ParikhSimul @toddscarbrough @SprakerMDPhD Thank you Dr Parikh! Will do

[Jake Eckstein @JakeEckstein3]

@toddscarbrough @ParikhSimul @lemmiwenks @olusolaodavies @DrChowdharyMD @SprakerMDPhD There are bigger, multi-institution studies that are a better reflection of rad onc resident burnout rates. I think this one helps the literature by shining a light on mindfulness and fulfillment which are not really explored elsewhere for us.

[Jake Eckstein @JakeEckstein3]

@toddscarbrough @SprakerMDPhD @ParikhSimul no problem. totally agree statistically, should have said "numerically lower". In the context of literature that documents high rates of burnout + high resident rates across Northwell + feeling that being attending > being a resident, it felt abnormal! 😆

[Jake Eckstein @JakeEckstein3]

@toddscarbrough @SprakerMDPhD @ParikhSimul 2. response rate: Agree-big limitation (see limitations secton of paper). We had to contact residents indirectly via each specialty's chief residents (no master list of emails available). We didn't know the # of residents that received the link from chiefs across the system

[Jake Eckstein @JakeEckstein3]

@toddscarbrough @SprakerMDPhD @ParikhSimul Thanks for the interest! I made the survey and wrote the paper; wanted to clarify:

1. We mentioned the 0/7 RO residents bc it drove the significant decrease R0 vs other specialty burn out on UVA. no statistically sig difference claimed on RO res/RO attending comparison

[Jake Eckstein @JakeEckstein3]

Thanks for the share, @ParikhSimul! Excited that our resident wellness project got published!

Take home point to me is that practicing mindfulness, finding fulfilment at work, moderating hours, spending time with loved ones makes us less burnt out.
