Me: “Couple more updates—so I spoke our social worker. We’ve got some ways to help.”
You: *staring at me*
Me: “Also the pharmacist worked the stuff out with your insulin pen. They’ll be right over to help with that. Oh! And I found the pill box.”

Aspiring surgeons,
In grad school, I attended an event that forever changed the way I think about competition. The organizer split us into two teams, and told us to go finish as many tasks as possible, and we all assumed we had to beat the other to win. https://t.co/9fNuqhGsjd

Remembering the Holt Street Church speech when #MartinLutherKing asked himself what the ethical implications were of what he was about to do. How many of our leaders ask themselves that question today? How many of us ask it?
