Trying to imagine the coverage if Obama had spent $60 million to host a pay-per-view NBA event at the White House where LeBron called Melania a hooker.

I was able to fight back against a system that was trying to silence me because I had previously invested in my mental and emotional health.

I am proud that I sought therapy after my medical training, and I hope other healthcare workers will join me in taking care of themselves.

We are trained to push through, to put others first, to normalize suffering in silence. But we have to break that cycle — for ourselves and for the patients who need us whole.

So I want to ask you something…what does it actually mean to take care of yourself in healthcare?

Whether you're a physician, a nurse, a resident, healthcare worker or someone who loves one — drop your thoughts in the comments. This is a safe space and it starts with one conversation.

No matter what deal they do, the war has effectively given control of the Strait to Iran.

What a masterclass in incompetence by Trump and his team.

Great idea.

There are 22 million healthcare workers in America.

And I think we just realized how powerful we could become if we stopped letting ourselves stay divided.

Something happened in DC this week that was bigger than politics, bigger than titles, and bigger than any one specialty.

For the first time in a long time, I sat in rooms with nurses, techs, therapists, physicians, and healthcare workers across every part of medicine, and nobody cared what letters were behind our names.

We were united by the same reality: The healthcare system is failing both patients and the people trying to care for them.

For years, healthcare workers have been separated into categories, hierarchies, societies, and specialties. But sitting together this week, it became impossible not to ask the question:

Why have we been kept so separate?

Because divided people are easier to silence and control.

But there are 22 million of us.

Twenty two million people who see what is happening inside hospitals, clinics, operating rooms, and patient rooms every single day.

You can call me whatever you want, but I’m not showing up as “just” a doctor anymore. I’m showing up as a healthcare worker, proud to stand alongside my colleagues at every stage of healthcare.

I’m done asking permission to advocate for patients and for the future of healthcare. We know these problems because we are the ones living them.

And when healthcare workers unite instead of staying divided, we become something incredibly powerful.

Thank you @wearfigs for bringing healthcare workers together in DC this week and helping spark conversations and advocacy that felt bigger than any one title or profession.

This is how we change healthcare.

Together.

Last year, UnitedHealthcare sent me a letter meant to intimidate me into silence.

I don’t think they expected what happened next.

A member of Congress sent them a letter, raising the very concerns I refused to stop talking about.

I’m sharing this because I want you to remember something important.

Telling your story matters.
Standing up for yourself matters.
Standing up for your patients, your community, and safe healthcare matters.

Even when powerful institutions hope you’ll back down.

Major new QEMU update released. The coolest part? Paravirutalized Apple GPUs.

You can now spin up disposable macOS VMs *with* hardware acceleration.

macOS guests now expose a thin vGPU (apple-gfx-mmio).

very useful for CI, reverse engineering, gfx research, etc

This one will still be intentionally 'missed' by many because the original study shows scientific evidence that #LongCovid impacts more people in their prime years. It is too much of an uncomfortable truth for many to handle. #NeuroCovid

Replacing the words "the economy" with "rich people's yacht money"

-How can we respond to COVID without sacrificing rich people's yacht money?
-Saving the environment sounds nice but what about rich people's yacht money?
-Medicare for all would destroy rich people's yacht money

It is a really jarring moment to be a historian. To know what might be coming is alarming. To realize that no one around you sees it or acknowledges it is a weird place to be in. Its like time traveling without time traveling. 1/8
