Congratulations to my friend and colleague @HansaBhargavaMD for her terrific new book. Every parent needs to read this. There’s no physical health without mental health. https://t.co/vrwbtaG5Ul

Moments of satisfaction or gratitude were hard to come by in 2021; @shirleneobuobi's comic series is a way to remind us of the days and times when we can feel renewed versus zapped by the tasks at hand. https://t.co/c3e6TrI8qL

Here's to another year of " 😁 " " 🤨 ," and " 😜 " moments. Before the papaya seeds and parasites, let's start with great advice from a doctor using #TikTok to help save lives. https://t.co/d8pmOG4ANc

@jbendix Fantastic news, Jeff. We all know it has a lot to do with his upbringing. Kudos, sir.

Unfortunately, it's easy to find evidence of racial disparities in the US healthcare system. Rather than fall back on past mistakes, medical professionals can change things to create a better future. https://t.co/b9MTWZIlNl

Great blog from @EmilyG10 on how both patients and physicians can deal with the holiday blues.

Spurred in part by the pandemic, some HCWs are abandoning long hours and minimal pay for online sex work on sites like OnlyFans.

Large physician-owned group practices are coming on strong as a popular form of practice. What are their advantages? https://t.co/9ObrM8OujR
