Last year I cried in my APD’s office bc it felt impossible to be a good/efficient intern & be the doctor I wanted to be especially for patients w/ comorbid mental illness. I lean on Paul Farmer’s ‘accompaniment as policy’ to make a case against efficiency.

My hot take is that most of us have not adequately processed the trauma of the pandemic. And our sprawling, unprocessed trauma chews away at our brains in myriad ways that make us anxious about why we can’t seem to live our lives as instinctively or as joyously as we did in 2019.

Impressive. A wearable patch that acquires continuous, real-time ultrasound images of the heart at rest, on the go, and during exercise (echocardiograms) with automated processing

It’s official, Colorado voters passed Prop FF to give ALL public school students the option to eat two free school meals daily, regardless of their family’s income. No more shame, worry, or stigma, because a child doesn’t have money to eat. Thanks @hungerfreeco #copolitics & you!

Everytime I hit a paywall on some respected journalism site and then simply don't read the article rather than subscrining, I think about how Fox, Breitbart, The Daily Mail, et al. never ever ever paywall their content. I think about this constantly.

OK, hear me out, this was actually a visionary and inspired action.

@MDPhielDer A true badge of honor

@MDPhielDer @nickjbian Why did they do that? Repurposed or not enough staffing?

Unbelievable. Even now some people keep throwing misguided ill-supported claims that "Sweden nailed it from the start"

Let's peer-review this viral twitter take and have a look at the proper evidence

“vibes” is one of the most important vital signs

You bring your kid to 1st day of 1st grade

You say hi to the teacher. You ask what #training they’ve had:

Teacher: I haven’t…But I did really well in 1st grade!

===
That was how medical education worked for yrs!

And that’s why we need robust #faculty development programs

[Kyle, the PGY-2 @talldoctalk]

Being a doctor is hard. Being a patient is harder. What is a Thursday for us is often a memory scarred into the story of their life, permanently.

We forget that. It is a mixed blessing that we can adapt to whatever tragedies are commonplace. We need to remember.

Tell everyone you know, everyone you see: We are in a genuine climate emergency, it's caused by burning fossil fuels, we risk losing everything, the way out is ending the fossil fuel industry, and the sooner we do this the less we lose

2/4: How much does 8mg of ondansetron ⬆️ Qtc by?

What about 32 mg?

One study suggests low doses of QTc prolonging meds are unlikely to cause TdP in your avg patient, but would be careful if QTc > 500 or patient/drug is higher risk.

@MDPhielDer Congrats man!!! Must be a relief. Last program app ever!
