نحن شعبٌ لا يساوم على وطنه، ولا يتردّد في الدفاع عن أرضه، ولا يسمح لأحدٍ أن ينتقص من سيادته وكرامته.

نختلف في آرائنا، ونتنوّع في مناطقنا ولهجاتنا، لكننا حين يكون الوطن حاضرًا، فنحن قلبٌ واحد، وصوتٌ واحد، وصفٌ واحد خلف قيادتنا ورايتنا 🇸🇦

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

[Kevin Pho, M.D. @kevinmd]

85 to 90 percent of women physicians are eldest daughters.

That is not a coincidence. That is a pipeline.

Eldest daughters are trained, before age five, to over-function. They take on a parent's worry. They organize the family. They clean up without being asked. They do not ask for help, because they were rewarded their whole childhood for not needing any.

Then they walk into medicine.

A career that demands hyper-responsibility, hypervigilance, perfectionism, and silent sacrifice does not have to ask these women to give those things. They were giving them before they could read.

The system is not stumbling into a burnout problem. The system is recruiting from a pool of people whose entire childhood was a training program for it.

This is what pediatrician and certified coach Jessie Mahoney has been finding when she asks the room. In every group, in every retreat. Maybe one or two women are not eldest daughters. The rest have been carrying something since before they could spell their own name.

Most of those women blame themselves. "Why don't I have boundaries?" "Why do I over-function?" "Why can't I delegate?"

Because at five years old, your family rewarded you for over-functioning. Because every teacher praised you for it. Because the medical training system selected for it. Because every job since has reinforced it. The pattern is older than your medical degree by twenty years.

The other piece nobody names: by the time these women are in their fifties, they are carrying eldest-daughter responsibility for aging parents AND running a department as chief AND running a household. The role does not retire when the children do. It just compounds.

Jessie's reframe is the part worth bookmarking.

The "hero" framing is the trap. Eldest daughters were made the savior of the family before they could read. Then medicine made them the savior of the patient. Then the department made them the savior of the team. At every stage, they learned that if they did not do it, terrible things would happen and it would be their fault.

Awareness is the first move. Non-judgment is the second. Excellence is not doing everything yourself. Excellence is letting other people do their jobs.

You are allowed to gift some of it back. You can ask your siblings to carry the aging parent. You can let your medical assistant do the medical assistant's job. You can stop covering the gap that nobody actually asked you to cover.

Most eldest daughters in medicine have never asked for help. When they finally do, they discover people are willing to help. The asking was the whole obstacle.

What is the one task you have been carrying for your family or your team that no one ever actually asked you to carry?

😷 The Covid19 pandemic lockdown policies could’ve had some unintended consequence on youth vaping patterns.

I am excited to share a milestone project analyzing one of the most important public health challenges of our time…e-cigarette use among U.S. adolescents.🏆

[Shaikha Aldukhail @ShekShekx]

👩🏻‍🦱 By 2022, females represented more than half of all adolescents who had ever used e-cigarettes (53%), highlighting shifting use patterns over time.

🎯 Top reasons for use included peer influence, appealing flavors, and the ability to use e-cigarettes discreetly.

Teens trying to ditch the vape? Harvard says a twice-daily pill (varenicline) works 3x better than just talking it out. First legit quit-smoking med tested in young vapers—because Juul school wasn’t supposed to be real. #VapeEscape #PublicHealth #JAMA
