Being shot by a patient who is having post-operative pain, or for refusing to prescribe narcotics is not a risk I considered when deciding to go into orthopaedic surgery. ‘No good deed goes unpunished’ is taking on another level of meaning. #MedTwitter #orthotwitter #GunReformNow

"Although the cesarean backlash arose from an impulse to empower women, it has perversely also become another way to shame mothers, or make them feel inadequate, as soon as they’ve given birth." @lsjamison nytimes.com/2021/07/21/magaz… #longreads

18 years ago, on 9/11, I was a first responder at Ground Zero. Like most, I can never forget that day. Printed below is an account of my time at the Brooks Brothers morgue next to the World Trade Center. I still sometimes stay up at night thinking about it. #NeverForget
