You can be kind and set boundaries. You can be helpful and set boundaries. You can be generous and set boundaries. You can be compassionate and set boundaries. Advocating for yourself does not make you a bad person. Don’t be manipulated into thinking otherwise.

I couldn’t quite keep it together meeting NYT best selling author Dr. @uche_blackstock today. She left the abuse and toxicity of academic medicine and found groundbreaking success on the other side. Doctors can pursue their individual interests and ventures and win. 🏆

Usually I don’t talk about stuff like this because frankly it happens way too often. But not today… As I pulled into the same faculty parking lot that I park in all the time @msstate, a white woman was coming out of my office building. Her car was parked next to the space I pulled into.

Read more @mdmdaware. If you are a physician and at a wit’s end, I would strongly suggest you join PhysiciansAnonymous.org for support groups. We meet weekly over Zoom. It is confidential, loving, and supportive environment. Take care 🩷

The best antidote to burnout is not teaching people coping skills to handle stress. It's redesigning work to reduce stress. The cure for exhaustion is removing overwhelming demands and the norm of self-sacrifice. Healthy workplaces value well-being as much as performance.

Confidence doesn't always come from believing in yourself today. It often stems from recalling the obstacles you overcame yesterday. 
A history of resilience can silence self-doubt. Challenges conquered are clues to hidden strengths. Past progress is proof of future potential.

Watch: Yesterday, at a DC event on “the critical importance of supporting and safeguarding health workers,” USAID rep Dr. Atul Gawande struggled to respond when activists asked him to condemn the US-funded Israeli assault on Gaza, which has killed scores of health-workers.

Reporting inappropriate workplace behaviors can be daunting for many women physicians. In her article, Dr. @mdmdaware shares what she learned through her experience to help other physicians in similar situations. #WomenInMedicine #WomenInSurgery opmed.doximity.com/articles/…

TW: Suicide My office is full of people like Dr Candia-Bailey. There is such hopelessness in toxic work environments&yet as a culture we often blame the person affected—or dismiss their cries for help or mental health repercussions. This needs to change. Now. Not later.
Dr. Antoinette Candia-Bailey, vice president of Student Affairs at Lincoln University-Missouri, reportedly died by suicide from “bullying and severe mistreatment” in her role University President John Moseley is now facing calls to resign hbcubuzz.com/2024/01/lincoln…

If we mistreat & dehumanize young doctors--essentially teaching them that human life is not of value--they may learn to dehumanize patients. Not only do our patients deserve our respect and kindness, so do our learners: our students, residents, and fellows.

Why Black doctors like me are leaving faculty positions in academic medical centers I wrote this piece almost exactly 4 years ago. I'm reposting in light of the news about President Gay's resignation. Academia is a toxic environment for Black people. rb.gy/50f11t

If you died today, the hospital/clinic where you work would replace you tomorrow. Spend time with the people in your life that love you, couldn’t replace you, and wouldn’t want to. And only do things that make you say Hell Yes and provide you purpose. #MedTwitter #MedX
