There was a recent suicide of a US medical student after a professionalism violation. Many students feel they have to be perfect, that one blemish on their record will ruin their career. But if you could know the truth about your attendings, you’d know they’ve all made enormous mistakes. I’ve made hundreds over the years. Talk to someone if you’re in despair. And allow yourself to be flawed. Don’t try to be perfect. No one is.

For my wedding anniversary, I designed and had hand-woven in Afghanistan a rug for my microbiologist wife. The rug mixes traditional Afghanistan designs with some scientific elements including Bunsen burners, test tubes, bacterial petri dishes and other elements.

The 10 Commandments of #orthotwitter...according to Ryan Harrison

(In no particular order)

-Don’t ignore pain out of proportion to your exam

-Don’t varus.

-When you can’t see the skin, you’ve applied enough padding.

-When the nurse asks you to come and see the patient, just go.

-Touch every bone and move every joint, you’ll never miss anything.

-Don’t get fooled by X-rays

-Never Discharge a prisoner or homeless patient with an injury that needs surgery.

-Just because you’re having a bad day doesn’t mean everyone else has to.

-If you’re wondering if it’s sterile, it isn’t. Redo it.

-The amount of time you spend preparing before you walk into the operating room will be inversely proportion to the amount of time you waste inside the operating room.

50 years ago today I was a 21 year-old deeply depressed atheist artist. Waking up on the last day of art school (May 30) I asked a God that I did not believe existed to show me a sign not to kill myself. Later that afternoon, after school was out, I was on a street corner for two minutes, saying goodbye to my art professor, and a lady named Allyson drove by and asked us if we would like to come to her end of the year art school party that night? It was there I had my first LSD journey, May 30, 1975.

Behind closed eyes, I was in the dark, rotating inside a curving, conch-like, iridescent mother of pearl surfaced tunnel spiraling towards an incredible light. This brilliant radiance was “God” answering my prayer as I was going through a spiritual rebirth canal. The light was infinite love and divine wisdom, it felt like God was revealed through a visionary symbol. In the dark, but going toward the light, now I had a direction. The Polar Unity Spiral showed me that the opposites were connected by all the different shades of grey. Grey brought the opposites together, and that was what I wanted to do with my art, so I decided to change my name based on that journey.

Allyson, in whose apartment I was tripping, had also seen the transcendental light but I didn’t find that out til the next night when I invited her out on a date. 💙🙏

Wisdom through experience … As a young neurosurgeon, I once held the dogmatic belief that only the toughest, most fatigue-resistant individuals belonged in this field. But over the years, experience has reshaped my perspective. I’ve seen firsthand how burnout can lead to attrition, health issues, and the loss of talented colleagues. My focus has since shifted—from glorifying endurance to prioritizing sustainability in this demanding profession.

We’re losing when we’re fighting amongst ourselves and assuming that someone is most important or most qualified or treated the worst. Let’s not do that. We should all fight for our patients and our profession together. #MedTwitter

Interesting new study showing possible cognitive benefits of sporadic psychedelic use:

•No cognitive deficits found in sporadic psychedelic users compared to non-users.

•Sporadic lifetime use of psychedelics associates with increased cognitive flexibility.

•Amount of lifetime psychedelic use predicts degree of increased cognitive flexibility.
