Med students, don’t underestimate how much you help your residents! Was drowning today and my med student constantly reminded me of scans that resulted and things to check on throughout the day. The little things help so much 😭 you matter as a med student!

New data: The suicide risk for female physicians is 76% higher than the general population.
Women in medicine need your support. We need reasonable workloads, adequate support, respect from colleagues, equitable pay, & work environments absent of discrimination & harassment.

As a research mentor, it’s common to see someone whose project is not working but they are doing all the right things to troubleshoot.
Don’t underestimate the power of saying “Even though your experiments are failing, you are still succeeding at research.”

The best place to relax is near water.
After just 2 minutes of viewing water outdoors, blood pressure and heart rate drop. It's more calming to look at a lake, pool, or stream than trees or grass.
Beaches are popular for a reason. Wider bodies of water bring more tranquility.

I know it sounds radical; I know it sounds utopian. But it exists in many other countries around the world.
We can and we must create a system in which people can go to any doctor they want, any hospital they want, and not have to take out their wallet.

I'm often asked about how stressful it is to work in the emergency dept.
I answer yes, but not for the reason ppl think
Patients near death when minutes matter...that's not stressful...it's what we do
A system that inadvertently makes work more difficult is why it's stressful

Open for comments! US Health & Human Svcs is proposing a new rule: beginning Oct 1 2024, hospitals would have to electronically report information about COVID, flu & RSV on a weekly basis. This info is critical to tracking/forecasting. Submit your comment: federalregister.gov/document…
ALT beginning on October 1, 2024, hospitals and CAHs would have to electronically report information about COVID-19, influenza, and RSV. CMS is proposing that outside of a public health emergency (PHE), hospitals and CAHs would have to report these data on a weekly basis.

“Our emergency licensing board exams don’t test us on ‘Massachusetts medicine’ or ‘Texas medicine.’ We have a national standard of practice. Emergency physicians in all states need access to the full range of stabilizing treatments for the full range of conditions we see.”

As likely the only board certified EM physician and repro rights attorney in the country, few things get me fired up like EMTALA and the denial of emergency abortion care. Our patients deserve better. Join us tomorrow as we rally for patients at SCOTUS 🙌🏼🙌🏼
EMTALA saves lives.
We’re taking the truth to the steps of the Supreme Court. Join us in the fight against anti-abortion extremists on 4/24 at 9 AM. Register here: act.nwlc.org/a/emtala-rally?…

I have this post-it (& a bunch of others) on my mirror to say out loud every morning so I remember to remain in alignment with my purpose, vision, and values. I will ALWAYS be pro-humanity. I will always be moved to action by what I feel in my heart.

Faculty who think the only valid career option is staying in academia are not only cheating their students out of the amazing diversity of career paths that exist, but also cheating themselves out of the chance to celebrate their mentees when they find their unique career path.

It's ok to not want covid even if you're not considered "high risk." It's OK to keep protecting your loved ones from infection and reinfection even if they're not considered "high risk." It's OK to do what you can to keep yourself and loved ones from *becoming* high risk! ❤️🙏🏽
