Attendings -

Possibly the most important thing you can do today on rounds: ask your team if they voted. If not offer to hold their pager for an hour or two!

Which programs cancelled #conference so residents could go out and #vote?!

Kiddos to them 🎉

Shout out to the two University of Maryland medical students who spent an hour or so in my dad’s hospital room chatting with him yesterday. He broke his hip and is getting better, but it’s depressing sitting in bed away from home. He can’t stop talking about the visit from these two students. They made his day.

Yes, Republicans passed abortion bans that are killing people. But hospital administrators are the ones choosing to OVER comply with bans and telling doctors to wait to intervene until the last possible moment, instead of saying, take care of your patients and we will back you.

NEWS: Biden administration just announced it is restarting the free covid test program in late September.

You'll be able to get four test kits mailed to you again.

The culture of medicine is good at making doctors feel like they’ll never be good enough—not seeing enough patients, not finishing charts quickly enough, not published enough, not teaching enough, not enough shifts, not enough call, not enough committees, not enough conferences…

HUGE 💣 news for IMGs! The American Board of internal medicine is considering a pathway that allows American BOARD certification with just a fellowship in the U.S. without U.S. residency!

Just hit me that (as far as I know?) this is the first time a nominee for president has had a different last name from their spouse -- the first time the female half of a couple vying for the White House kept *her* name in marriage. Kind of awesome we're not even discussing it.

Diversity, equity, & inclusion in #meded is crucial for better patient care. Incorporating DEI progs into training helps #futuredocs better understand the specific issues that each patient faces, leading to better care. Check out @LashNolen's powerful op-ed on DEI in health care:

New South Park nails it. Health insurance is complete racket: when I was sick (paid into insurance entire life, never used it) at age 33 they tried to deny coverage. MDs at Stanford Oncology had to plead case. Took us weeks. While at my worst. Burn it down

James Harrison, an Australian man, has dedicated over six decades of his life to donating his blood with a special purpose: to safeguard the lives of newborns at risk of Rhesus disease.

He is known as the man with the golden arm,

Through his extraordinary commitment, he has made a profound impact, saving approximately 2.4 million infants.

James has a rare antibody in his blood that is used to make a lifesaving medication called anti-D, given to mothers whose blood is at risk of developing rhesus D hemolytic disease (HDN), or antibodies that risk their unborn babies.
