Dr. @LJSigman recently helped write a new policy statement from the @AmerAcadPeds expanding upon the 2016 version related to error reporting culture. The updates emphasize disclosure and reporting as an automatic and embedded practice.

🚨I wrote about what this surge is doing to the healthcare system.
It's bad.
Though less severe, Omicron is spreading quickly enough to inundate hospitals, which can't handle the strain cos so many healthcare workers had quit or are now sick. 1/

We are experiencing exponential growth of #COVID19 as a country. In short: things are bad and getting worse. They will continue on that trajectory before getting better.

If we want to change our approach, we will find a way. If we do not wish to do so, we will find an excuse.

“The plan will be build on bedrock science....I will spare no effort or any commitment to turn around this pandemic.” @JoeBiden
thank you on behalf of healthcare workers, our patients, and our communities everywhere. #BidenHarris2020

The challenge is how we rectify suffering, discrimination, & divisions, & come together: “Win or lose, Trumpism will not have been swept into the dustbin of history; it will remain all over the furniture. It’s part of the furniture. Unsweepable.”

Sound advice.

[Vivek Murthy @vivek_murthy]

Waiting for election results can be extremely stressful. A few things may help: 1) Turn off the news/social media. 2) Take a walk or work out. Movement loosens the mind. 3) Help others. Service reduces our suffering and lets us experience the healing power of human connection.
