@BoseService 🧐

@Bose I really wanted to love your QC ear buds. Truth? They DO cut down on all sound - bc they haven’t reliably paired w my phone for months.

Your rec: “pay us $199 for a new version of the same product.” Wut?

I’m off to @wirecutter to find a new brand.

[Wendy Dean @WDeanMD]

@BoseService Buh-bye @Bose. Thanks for the DMs with your bots.
(*the warranty expired around the same time these issues cropped up.🙄)

[Wendy Dean @WDeanMD]

@BoseService You’re 💯 right, it shouldn’t. They’re barely 2yo. Your help desk suggested the procedure I’ve already done multiple times, then gave me the option above, or to “upgrade” to headphones. 😑

DMg but not hopeful.

@AliBliPCdoc @43ccpodcast Thanks for the shout!

@Aidan_Baron There’s a book about this (IF I BETRAY THESE WORDS), a podcast (@43ccpodcast) and an organization driving change (@fixmoralinjury). It’s time to reclaim our value and our voices in leading toward different.

In education, moral injury stems from broken trust, values conflicts & unresolved miscommunications—like devoting time to test prep instead of joyful learning. @WDeanMD & Rachel Schaffer explain in the new #AmericanEducator: https://t.co/wfnF5jrdl2

[AFT @AFTunion]

“Our teachers & school staff deserve to have their voices heard, their calls for adequate resources heeded, their expertise respected & their safety protected.”

New in @JAMA_current we find that physician unionization has increased markedly since 2023, & we briefly explore why.

And in @HMPI_Journal we discuss how the interaction of labor law & corporate practice of medicine laws may shape these growing organizing efforts. 1/x

Haven’t seen a single member of Congress acknowledge the rage seemingly everyone is expressing at the healthcare system. How hard is it to say “I don’t condone violence but people’s pain is real”

[Matthew Ramsey @Matthewramseymd]

@DrHooksDO @WDeanMD @43ccpodcast When healthcare is viewed as a business transaction without considering nature of caring for other humans it is not surprising that young clinicians are looking for more outside of medicine. They are not getting the rewards that we have traditionally received as physicians.

[Dutch Rojas @DutchRojas]

Moratorium on Physician-Owned Hospitals:

When we tell doctors they can't own hospitals, we're telling experts they can't innovate in their field.

Imagine telling chefs they can't own restaurants, or artists they can't own galleries.

The result?

A system where passion meets red tape, and patients lose.

The real cost isn't just in dollars—it's in the dreams we're killing and the care we're compromising.

Time to rethink who we trust with healing.

[43cc @43ccpodcast]

Are “free markets” free when we privatize profits & socialize losses? @ALeighMP joined @WDeanMD and @Matthewramseymd to discuss #economics as "a social science that studies how people maximize their well-being in the face of scarcity", incl in #healthcare. https://t.co/t0UunuvVM1

[Wendy Dean @WDeanMD]

@DrHooksDO @Matthewramseymd @43ccpodcast Thanks for flagging this up and it would certainly be ripe for profanity.

As a start, shoring up our community (cue @43ccpodcast) would make it harder for others to drive these wedges between us. We’re on it. 😉

@CoherenceMed @DrHowardLiu @jon_m_depierro First stop would be @NAMICommunicate’s website. Info about dx, tx, support groups, family information, and so much more. Here’s the “about different conditions” page: https://t.co/WhtkJ4FPTF

@SharpIndex @ShereeseMayMba @bspartridgeCIS @X Want to understand moral injury in healthcare more?
We got to talk to @WDeanMD about her work. It’s on demand here-

She narrates her book on @audible_com - which I loved since I know her and she has a great voice.

@DutchRojas @fixmoralinjury began w these conversations well before COVID. HCWs have been walking away or going PT bc they’re fed up with not being able to do their jobs, but they’re walking faster now.

🕵️‍♀️those canaries don’t need fixing; the mines do.

Who’s got the will? Bueller?
