My pregnant physician wife and I are currently COVID positive. We are currently quarantining with our 2 yo daughter who is likely also positive based on symptoms. We have both been working in hospitals taking every precaution humanly possible, especially because of the pregnancy.
Call to Action: Universal Policy to Support Residents and Fellows Who Are Breastfeeding: Normalizing and respecting the most basic human need of breastfeeding should be a priority in every workplace, including our own https://t.co/71pjJ3hEvD @HelenMJohnsonMD @RSnyder_MD #MedEd
@Ndouthit gave a great talk on #medtwitter for his senior talk and I learned about @medhumchat and @MedEdPGH and want to engage soon! Also didn’t know that replies stick to the original thread and don’t go on your timeline.
In negotiations “no can be a starting point, not an end.” Great discussion set up by @TLeungMD at @ACPinternists#im2019. Though in the practice session I still only ended up with $3.50 after negotiating $15 with @ryankraemr... 🤷♀️
So encouraging to meet with folks from all over who care about #wellbeing as much as I do! Thanks @ACPinternists for prioritizing this essential topic.
Why should we care? One commenter said “because it’s really crappy medical care to have garbage loading up the chart.” Love the #frank opinions here in #Philly . Some recs attached. #im2019
Case scenario at #im2019 to discuss Ethical implications of copy-paste in EHR. Trainee says “but how can I get notes done efficiently without copy forward?”
“No one went into medicine to document in an EMR. We went into it to relieve suffering, develop relationships and make a difference in the world.” Great words from Dr Murthy at #IM2019 opening ceremony. @vivek_murthy
Suggestion to “microdose” gratitude reflections while washing hands before patients- wonder if 0.5 seconds of hand sanitizer is enough time? May need to switch to the foam since it takes longer. #im2019#Wellbeing#curb19@vivek_murthy@ACPinternists
Loneliness prevalence around 20% and potentially linked to worse health outcomes- higher loneliness among physicians. I’m at #im2019 by myself so can relate. Great discussion by @vivek_murthy at @ACPinternists
