Had bloodwork done this morning. Some observations from my phlebotomist:
1. Most overused jokes from patients: "Here comes the vampire", "Here comes the bloodsucker", and "Hey, save some for me!"
2. No one likes the phlebotomist.
@MiNurse2003 You refute the claim that the org you support is racist and transphobic, yet your account is plastered with racist, transphobic memes? Bold strategy.
@DrRissman Not a content recommendation, but highly recommend the Libby app. Links to your library card and gets you a ton of audiobooks (including most of what you would want to listen to) for free.
Endorsement alert! We were given a tall order to help narrow the vote from 13 and recommend Dr. CJ Michaud, Malorie Ninemeier, and Dr. Ed Aboufadel. This also leaves room to hear the forthcoming educators’ picks, your fave incumbent, friend or advocate. Vote by Nov. 8!
All of a sudden my fastball doesn’t seem quite as fast and everyone else has an unhittable curveball. Humbled to learn from such skilled communicators and feel freshly motivated to get better. 2/2
Thrilled to have gotten to spend the past few days learning from masters of serious illness communication. Doubly thrilled to head out into the world and teach these skills to others. @vitaltalk@hollyby@AmyTrowbridge15@rabob @DrMoPPC @Cuvie
Shared this with @hollyby but when people ask me to describe the @vitaltalk cohort - I feel like an accomplished college baseball player who just made the pros. 1/2
