When people say “I assume the patient….”, my follow up question is “did you ask them?”
Because patient advocacy=being a good doctor. Talk to your patients without making these assumptions. It is harmful! #unconsciousbias

@AlexJordanMD This is a constant struggle…

[David Flynn MD MBA @MD_phinance]

My friend is a proceduralist at a big medical center — best clinician in his department.

He stays late to help colleagues and comes in nights/weekends when not on call (no pay) to help colleagues.

He wins teacher of the year every year.

The job was killing him.

He quit on Thursday.

He changed his mind on Monday.

His chair told him it was too late — the department had already posted his position.

No matter how dedicated you are to the hospital, the hospital is not dedicated to you.

@kidney_boy Appreciate the essay.
I think most of us get into the gig for the hyper-complex and super-sick patients, where we can make an impact.

Think what’s wearing us out is ‘creatinine management’ - basic good Medicine practice that isn’t being practiced by the internist anymore (1/x)

“ There is no “deserving” and “undeserving” poor, but the “unwinding” insists on dividing people along these lines. Regular people have to come together to challenge this deadly logic.” @sariahmed

This!! Many people find it difficult to understand the level of trauma associated with medical training.

@melaninandmed The mental health of healthcare workers, is directly related to the structural inequities that exist in the health care system itself. My research looks at structural barriers, moral distress, and mental health outcomes of care providers. Hope to honor Nakita and change systems!

This is my dear friend, Nakita.

Nakita and I were medical school classmates and both interns in New York City. Nakita tragically took her own life on May 26.

She is such a beautiful soul. She was so fun to be around. She was intelligent, charismatic, and confident. (1/x)
