I started med school in 2007. Today was the first time I heard validation, story, meaning, and love described as “more important than biomarkers” thank you Dr. Hanaway.

Preparing a report on doctor throughput times for administration and wondering…
When did medicine get so far off track?
When did we lose control of the priorities?
If you think patient experience is corporate fluff, consider last time you bought a car, or visited urgent care, or took your car for service.
How nice would it be if they sat down, explained the plan and gave a time estimate?
We owe our pts that at least.

Just beginning to explore Functional Medicine. In the trenches in ER, it is obvious that the wholistic lifestyle approach to health is absent from allopathic medicine.
We are good at acute disease. Need to be better at the rest.

Reading the excellently written and researched exercise content on https://t.co/HY61xrj6Tg sent me on a totally new health journey.
I went to medical school. And so much of this was news to me.
As long as you continue to see the food that you shouldn’t eat as punishment, you will continue to struggle.
You need reframe your mindset towards wanting to be healthy above all and that you don’t want to eat that junk. It’s not restriction. You just don’t want to eat it.
I cried in the bathroom today because I feel like I have no control of my life with medicine. I asked for a day off during my next rotation for a friends wedding and was told I would be gambling my grade/evaluation by missing a single day of an 8 week rotation.
Chronic inflammation sounds like a biological basis supporting parts of contemporary wellness movement.
Groundbreaking implications for considering metabolic disease as symptom rather than diagnosis.

@alisadoc1@olsonplanner I mean, what other fields involve a decade training, much of it unpaid, such infantalization, guilt trips for not "giving it your all" every step of the way, actively punishes people trying to make time for themselves & family, jerks you around the country every few years...
