Yes!

The doctor-patient relationship is completely different from a client-provider one. But words only carry meaning if we live up to them.

Using doctor-patient carries a responsibility. A responsibility to be more than someone who provides a service, but someone who genuinely cares.

We should welcome that duty. I am glad the APA is. Let’s go and make American medicine meaningful again.

At elite universities, 1/5 of students are registered as "disabled." (Fits my experience: accommodating students who claim extra time or special rooms for exams is a routine part of teaching. I meet in my office with charming, voluble, successful students who slip in, "I'm autistic." https://t.co/FYG41NAdN7

The GMC Workforce report 2025 is out.
1 in 3 doctors feel they cannot progress their careers as desired. Certain groups of doctors report poorer experiences, so more inclusive and equitable practices in medicine are needed.

I wrote below NYT oped criticizing RFK Jr's dumb vaccine/autism conspiracy theory.

So I know how stupid these people are.

But Trump's autism comments today were absolutely moronic.

& shame on FDA HEAD (who knows better) for supporting this reckless BS. https://t.co/Ap0HTEVDGc

I think kindness is most important quality in psychotherapists.

Not usually sufficient to good outcome but almost always necessary.

Real problem in psych field that kindness is so ignored in selection/training/practice.

Some of worst therapists I've known have been supersmart.
