Today (September 17) is National Physician Suicide Awareness Day. This is a time to honor the physicians we’ve lost, break the silence around mental health in healthcare, and commit to better support systems for those who dedicate their lives to caring for others.

The #icotyde commercial is probably the best and most creative I have seen. Nothing hokey. If we are going to do this advertising, might has well do some public education. Full disclosure: I don’t know anything about out this drug youtu.be/YBNn2GbfxSo?si=PTN7…

Yesterday I asked MS4 graduating medical students at a forum if they thought AI was a tool or threat to healthcare and their careers? Overwhelming these physicians cheered TOOL! 🔨 Interesting to hear the perspective of those with the most at risk but also ready to implement.

Instead of a CEO eating a hamburger, I’d like to watch the @southwestair CEO find a $39 flight.

Great to see a kidney centric Super Bowl ad. We need more UACR screening. Any positive result is a warning ⚠️. Even my son was interested #SuperBowlLX
