Holy smokes. Toured the empty, former @Spec building.

How incredibly vast & how tragic to compare to now that once a building of this size was needed for hundreds of employees.

For Medscape I wrote about physician burnout in the pandemic era. I spoke with Dhaval Desai, MD who documented his journey in his book 'Burning Out on the Covid Front Lines'. Thank you to Monica Verduzco-Gutierrez, MD and Dr Zijian Chen for sharing their insights as well.

ChiaTe is a Taiwanese bakery famous for their pineapple cakes and there is just one store location in Taipei that often has a long line out the door. Not a fan of these savoury-sweet nougat crackers, but I've never seen any store carry this brand until now. Also, that price is 🤯
