Wonder what the problem is...

Can we please stop glamorizing overworking in medicine?

There is nothing great about not seeing your friends, eating poorly, and sleeping 4 hrs a night

I’ve seen so many of my preceptors wear that like a badge of honor and it needs to be addressed

Chris Wallace asking Trump to condemn white supremacists was phenomenal.

I cannot stress how much this resonates with me as a surgery resident.

One of the most impactful pieces of advice from an attending this year: be conscious of how much you say “sorry.” Not knowing something is not a reason to apologize. Asking a question is not a reason to apologize. Asking for help is definitely not a reason to apologize.

First day as an intern.

Nurse: That last patient needs something for his pain.
Me: Sure! I’ll let one of the residents know.
Nurse:.....
Me.....
Nurse:.....
Me: .....I am one of the residents.
Nurse: Good job sweetheart.

Good luck to all my fellow “doctors”!#MedTwitter #UroSoMe

Urging everyone making these pledges to fight racism to walk the walk in their everyday lives. Protest (safely), donate, vote, and educate your friends/families on the #BLM movement. Tweets are great but it’s ultimately our actions that make change

A scene from the peaceful protest here in San Diego yesterday #BlackLivesMatter

[American Academy of Pediatrics @AmerAcadPeds]

Racism is a social determinant of health and creates toxic stress in children, teens and families that impacts their health. Children will not be able to reach their full potential until we prevent and counteract these experiences for all children--in medicine and everyday life.

But for real, you have to really weigh what’s important to you when making your lists. I think the path to #medschool sort of breeds competitiveness so we naturally want to go to the “best” programs. This means spending too much time on #doximity and #reddit spreadsheets (1/4)

Interested in trauma? Surgery? Education?! Check out the BIG T trauma series on @BehindTheKnife. Clinically oriented goodness for all. Our first episode covers neck trauma (next up: #REBOA).

While not technically alive, there's an evil genius to viruses that never ceases to amaze me. It's one reason I became a virologist. A recent Nature paper reveal a remarkable trick SARS-Cov-2 learned that makes it nastier than the first SARS. Both viruses…
