There are never enough words for the beloved women who have provided childcare (and love and wisdom) for my kids over the years. Glad for this chance to shine a light on them. Thanks to co-authors Altaf Saadi MD MSc and Anne Thorndike, MD, MPH and of course to The OpEd Project

Finally felt like a cool kid getting to hang out with @NallRyan, Era Kryzhanovskaya and Molly Heublein and talk all about outpatient teaching. Thank you The Curbsiders Teach Podcast for this amazing opportunity!

Hospitalizations rob patients of their individuality and identity.

Photos can remind patients and caregivers of who they were/are before the hospital.

Continuity is . Watching my senior residents cry as they bid farewell to their primary care patients... if they could feel that bond before subspecialty choice, would more choose primary care? The OpEd Project

I will always remember as a new primary care attending, hearing my front desk staff pleading with patients that were being transferred from a retired male physician and had “never had a woman doctor”: “No don’t worry, she is young but she is very qualified, etc etc”

Spent this morning visiting a shelter for Ukrainian refugees in Tijuana.

Spent the afternoon at a shelter ImmDef visits regularly to provide legal services to mostly Haitian & Central American families.

The differences between the two are stark and soul-shattering. 🧵

Vacations and perks aren't cures for exhaustion. They're temporary bandages to stop the bleeding.

The first principle of fighting burnout is to reduce demands.

Stop overloading teams with stressful tasks and expecting one person to do multiple jobs.
