My traditional July 1 post for the last few years. Wishing joy in medicine for all those rising students, interns, residents, fellows, and faculty.

At the heart of the global food crisis are Ukraine’s farmers. @nataliekeyssar and I spent weeks with these incredible women who survive attacks near the front line while feeding their people. Russia wants them to fail; their tenacity told me they won’t https://t.co/IaOgudbrY9

We need to do away with the term “unskilled labor.” You hear people toss it around at everything from farm workers to servers to construction workers.

Here’s the deal: if labor is required it’s not unskilled.

If there’s anyone unskilled in the labor chain it’s executives.

Posted a #NewProfilePic about 2 hours ago and @upsidetocrazy already transformed me into a Trapper Keeper-worthy graphic.

Is it a Keeper?

My piece for ⁦@nytopinion⁩ is in print today in the Sunday Review! May we all find a way to hold each other through the grief engendered by COVID and losses beyond COVID. The prelude to compassion is the willingness to see. ❤️ ⁦@edubru⁩

I wholeheartedly agree! Palliative care epitomizes value. It’s a model for authentic healthcare transformation. The time is now.

No, not all of us have had covid.
No, not all of us are resigned to getting it.
No, not all of us are expecting a 'mild' disease course if we do get covid.

Please, leave space for different expectations and experiences in this current stage of the pandemic.
