This one strikes too close to home. Among the many characteristics I lack, stoicism is one of them.

[Gervasio Lamas MD @GLamasMD]

@CMichaelGibson Sure, restrict the hours that students and housestaff can spend taking care of sick patients. Now cut back the number of years they spend learning. Don't know when they will do any academic work. I would call it being a hemidoc and giving the MD title in lower case only (md).

@glennfishman @BinitaShahMD @nyulangone @usnews @nyugrossman @NYULH_DeptofMed Congratulations!

Very wise

I love this essay. Every paragraph. My medical colleagues should also read it.

We are doctors, and that is all.

A troubling article by my favorite New York times author. It will change the way I look at some of my sickest patients.

This is true

COVID-19 vaccines likely saved around 20 million lives

@KristerKauppi @agingdoc1 @FrontAging I think that to be fair, the last sentence needs an additional phrase to modify it and specify that the most robust evidence is in mice. In that case, as an experienced clinical trialist, I know I would have trouble recruiting patients.

@__MiaDavis__ They are about 10. Great pets.

@CMichaelGibson Work-life balance emphasis means he doesn't care about you as much as the other guy. He will sign out to whoever's on and delay coming in if you're in trouble. For one, medicine is a job, for the other It is a calling. But I am a dinosaur.

Congratulations @MargaridaPujol and team! #PPS8

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

🚨BREAKING: Former Trump Secretary of Defense and retired 4-star General James Mattis calls Trump “the most dangerous person” in America after previously describing him as a threat to the Constitution.

RETWEET to thank General Mattis for standing up for democracy!

Toxic metals linked to progression of coronary artery calcium. We have to be conscious of environmental exposures in our patients.
