University doc just trying to take care of my patients despite administrative barriers. I tried satire but tired of snark. I think Twitter is weird.

@RobertaSchell @cindylou12 Yup. I came here to say this.

[Nancy Foster @SSNaushon]

@medcentermaster You offer clinical acumen, deep medical knowledge and the training in how to apply all of that to test results ! I value and respect that, but I should still know actual results not get a postcard saying "OK till next appt". I can better manage my chronic disease if I understand

[wearamask @medcentermaster]

@SSNaushon I agree 100%!

[wearamask @medcentermaster]

The era wherein doctors were the source of information for patients is gone. And it ain't coming back. Patients have access to all the information we do: labs, journal articles, everything.
This should make all of us ask: what else of value do I offer?

[Nancy Foster @SSNaushon]

@jmugele As someone with a chronic disease, appreciate getting my results ASAP. Some docs used to have secretary call week later to say"labs ok", giving no info. I value the full lab report

Today's lesson from hospital admin: As a change leader I need to engage with my motivation!

Um. OK.

Great idea 👇 I'm totally stealing this!

As interview season is upon us again, I’ll share this again: At the conclusion of each interview, I read the applicant a line from one of their letters of recommendation. This year, more than ever, it is important to recognize the incredible things these trainees have done!

break the habit everyone...Trump is not the news anymore. He's a ridiculous figure who will go down in history as America's biggest mistake. Stop giving him what he wants --attention. The President elect is the story. Covid is the story. Trump is a circus clown.

Imagine you are an 18 year old soldier. Your boat just hit the beach at Normandy. You run straight at machine gun and artillery fire towards almost certain death while your friends die around you.

Now put on your mask you sniveling coward and make your infinitesimal sacrifice.

Recent tweets by @RadioFreeTom lead me to believe he's in a good mood this weekend.
A.) I didn't know that was possible
B.) I find it unsettling for some reason.
I guess I want my grumpy-father-on Twitter back.

WZ is an incredible songwriter. Agree!

Responding to myself here because somehow (??!) no one has suggested Warren Zevon’s Excitable Boy!

Trump? Who?

Good advice👇

[Jen Heemstra @jenheemstra]

Whether you're writing a paper or planning a talk, start by asking the questions:
-what does my audience already know?
-what do I want them to know?

Then think about how to craft a story to lead them on a journey between these two points.

Is Trump the first person to lose the popular vote for President twice in a row?
