@NPRinskeep I watched it as well. Agreed. It is a challenge to observe from a neutral perspective if one is so predisposed to a certain viewpoint. Buttigieg is a particularly articulate speaker.
@mariahsf1@amuse@ianmSC I agree with you.
The plane had just landed. The first person off the plane was Paul Whelan, followed by the other prisoners, not the crew.
I was touched when I saw BIDEN ascend the stairs to thank the crew for bringing our citizens home. This is what Americans do.
@JoeBiden You are a true patriot, Joe. Your contributions cannot be overstated. You have set an enduring example of devotion to country, not self, with this courageous move. Thank you for your many long years of service to our country.
@jillian_rigert Oh heartache. But why do we have to work our young surgeons into exhaustion so that self-care becomes a source of guilt, shame, and sorrow. So sorry that you carry this burden. Your exhaust’n may have impaired your ability to function effectively, possibly an even worse burden.
@DrHBurstein Hal, I tried to register for the virtual option, but can't get past the screen requesting hospital affiliation to a Boston-based hospital. I am retired from active patient care but still licensed. I am interested in the VIRTUAL option. Did I miss the screen for VIRTUAL reg?
@DrHBurstein This resonated so strongly w me when my neighbor had an inv lobular ca w a mass in the liver yrs ago. I was devastated. And, while I always tried to be supportive to my pts, the weight of what they must experience finally hit me. OMG.
@AjvictoryMD Similar scene “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel for the Old and Very Beautiful“ Maggie Smith in London ER needs hip surg but MD is black from Africa & not a “real doctor” She goes to India, where she sees Indian MDs & gets a cure for her hip and her heart.
@marklewismd@sjenkinsmd 2/2 it was hard for many in my generation to incorporate “healthy narcissism“ into our lives. And, in a piece on NPR a woman spoke to the difficulty of separating one’s self worth from one’s work. “I am worthy because I am doing this very difficult job.”I resemble(d) that remark.
