It’s a tough look to see a second lockdown only a day after some Republican leaders mocked UNC students who were protesting at the legislature demanding action on common sense gun reform. Instead of turning your backs, how about actually listening to them?

Study: 90 minutes of #hiking outdoors reduced activity in portions of the brain involved in rumination & worry. Plus, there was less activity in a portion of the brain involved in mental illness. Hiking is good for our #mentalhealth! #stressrelief https://t.co/9smZvWnE3h https:…

Congratulations. You are becoming a member of an ancient and honorable profession.
You will never be a "provider."
That's a term used by corporations and governments to reduce your autonomy in patient care.
Allow no denigration!

pro tip: if your doorbells rings and your immediate reaction is to reach for your gun, holy fucking shit, turn off Fox News and get professional help

[Mark W. Kline, M.D. @MarkWKlineMD1]

The article misses the point. These vaccines are safe and effective in preventing severe disease. There is virtually no downside to giving people an opportunity for added protection by boosting every 6 months, no matter how many or how few actually do it. https://t.co/zM5XbCtFAn

When an ER patient says “my wife made me come in”, something is really fucking wrong until proven otherwise. Trust me on this one.

@1goodtern Hopefully you can zoom in to my daughter's piece 'Rona Lisa' from her recent exhibition #IAmStillHere with @LongCovidKids.

These are all things she and her peers have had said to them by doctors, family, friends, classmates...

I have heard it said
that “No one
really wants to talk
about COVID anymore”
and I suppose that is true
for who really wants
to have to keep talking
about this horrid virus,
though the real issue
is not that no one
wants to talk about the virus
but that no one
wants to listen.

[Plague Poems @PlaguePoems]

I have heard it said
that we are unprepared
woefully unprepared
for the next pandemic
but look around you
we are not prepared
for the current pandemic either.

Today, February 3, is National Women's Physician Day. I would like to recognize the thousands of female family physicians for their contributions to their patients' health, their communities, and the advancement of science and medicine.

[Jennifer Hulme @jenniferhulme]

In the last 48 hours, 3 friends and 5 contacts have approached me for help with their teenage daughters / marathon-running Neighbours/ and partners who have become disabled by #LongCovid #POTS. Some of these people are themselves physicians. This is major crisis. #notacold

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

@CDCDirector You could easily mitigate the spread of COVID and make it safer for all travelers by reinstating the mask mandate for public transportation. Instead, you are choosing an ineffective policy that will only lead to more xenophobia and hate attacks against Asian people in the US.

[uché blackstock, md @uche_blackstock]

Woke up still thinking about CDC Director’s tweet from yesterday. Actually, we *do* know how to slow COVID spread by implementing a multi-layered mitigation strategy. No, singling out only China for testing is *not* part of that strategy and will only breed xenophobia & racism.

[Barbra Streisand @BarbraStreisand]

Donald Trump thinks he was a better President than Washington and Lincoln. He claims he won the popular vote when he lost it badly twice. He is delusional and clearly unfit for the Presidency.

Over 200 National Security Professionals who served in administrations from both parties know the #NatSec risk that election denying & enemy of democracy @NCGOP candidate @TedBuddNC poses if elected to be NC's next Senator. That is why they endorse @CheriBeasleyNC for US Senate

[Carrie Kollias MD FRCSC MBA @carrie_kollias]

Don’t give me self care tips. Even the most optimistic clinicians want to scream some days at the persistent, adversarial, non-empathetic, uncurious way with which they are treated by the people who are supposed to be enabling us to take care of patients.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

How soon should you leave a toxic workplace?

As soon as you can—and sooner than you think.

There's no amount of hazard pay that justifies feeling browbeaten and broken.

Not every job is a source of joy and meaning, but your work shouldn't cost you your health and well-being.
