“Why do we hold hands? For safety, sure. To show each other we are here, that we’re ready to help, that we’re dependable. All of that.” @JimCoan explains the psychology behind hand-holding in our Winter issue: https://t.co/rOyfl8up9Z

Sure you can

screen them,
triage them,
scan them,
inject them,
rub them,
reassure them,
tape them,
operate on them,
shockwave them,
advise them.

But eventually someone needs to rehabilitate them.

If it’s not going to be you then you’d better have a plan.

[Kadijah F Porter MD @KadijahPorterMD]

Had a medical student ask me what is the hardest part about being a first Gen… and tbh, it’s the loneliness that comes with the constant pursuit of higher education. Achieving important milestones, alone. Family and friends support, but they don’t really understand.
