@PorathC @HarvardBiz Experienced it? Without a doubt!
Inspired to study it as a result? Absolutely!
Cited your work MANY times! Thank you for paving the way on this important topic!

@AcademicChatter It is a marathon, not a sprint. Take care of yourself, mentally and physically throughout the process. Your dissertation will never be perfect and it will likely not change the world. Finishing is the goal. Changing the world comes later!

@eternalkam @Sirlancelotti68 @tweetmommybop @marcellacomedy Absolutely agree. Providing a safe, open, and welcoming environment is essential to the development of the patient - provider relationship.

@rayleeinteriors @Sirlancelotti68 @tweetmommybop @marcellacomedy Not necessarily. I've had many patients not report irregular menses because they thought it was "just a phase" or "it will get back on track eventually."
I've been practicing medicine as an ER PA for 26 years. The things patients DON'T tell you would blow your mind!

@Sirlancelotti68 @tweetmommybop @marcellacomedy In many cases the first sign of ovarian cancer and cervical cancer is an irregular period. It can also be an indication of tumors of the pituitary gland. These are just 3 reasons that I can think of that have nothing to do with pregnancy.

@DanRather I was exposed to burn pits as were many of my friends, so this is personal. However, what else was attached to the bill? A KNOWN tactic is for one side of the aisle to attach an addendum they know will kill the proposal and then point the finger at the other side of the aisle.

@M_Tangili @PhDVoice @AcademicChatter @Dr_Meming Writing a dissertation is unlike anything else you will ever write. I have spent an entire day just trying to get a page of information on paper. That is hard for people who are not involved in the process to understand.

@ashleythakurrr This is the ugly side of medicine that nobody wants to address. The toxic culture of medicine starts in training and continues throughout the professional journey. However, it doesn't have to be that way. LEADERSHIP must take charge and decide to make a change!

@Zoe_Beausoleil It's part of the professional culture. I've caught errors in the written report based on my review of the images and I've seen interpretations modified after consulting with the radiologist. Think of it as "checks and balances" as well as a mutual learning opportunity.

@cbw12211 @theblondenp This is just one more example of the difference between leading and managing. Leadership ensures that the employees understand the intent of the policy and empower them to meet that intent. Management ensures they adhere to the policy and punishes them when they don't.

@AriRVfuturePhD Congratulations 🎉👏

@preranachatty Nurses can make you or break you! This charge nurse clearly understands how precious a commodity sleep can be!

[James P. McGinnis, Ed.D., PA-C @resilientldr]

@av0gadra This is exactly the behavior that led me to create the Institute for Resilience Centered Leadership. Allowing that behavior to continue is a direct reflection of the culture of both the organization and the profession. It needs to change!

[James P. McGinnis, Ed.D., PA-C @resilientldr]

@eberger32 @united This is such a common (and annoying) occurrence. As a male PA in the ER I often had to remind my patients that the lady in the long white coat was the one in charge. Hang in there...keep breaking those walls down!

[James P. McGinnis, Ed.D., PA-C @resilientldr]

@AnnAvory @BlackFemNeuro A resilience centered leadership team would craft a training approach to engage staff on a personal level and work collaboratively toward a meaningful training experience and tangible outcomes.

@RuralEDPA I was an ER PA for many years. I made the conscious decision to stop wearing scrubs and start wearing business casual. The change in how administration interacted with me was significant. If we had a trauma, etc I simply put on a gown.

[James P. McGinnis, Ed.D., PA-C @resilientldr]

@RBlockMD @CaffeinatedPa You are absolutely correct. This phenomenon is not limited to the medical professions.
