When the wife of a severely ill patient with Covid-19 is told she can’t visit him, her anger quickly gives way to pleading — “What if I only spent 5 minutes and left?” How can we harness creative solutions during this pandemic so that people don’t have to die alone? #COVID19

This is so so good. The amalgam of emotions, new challenges, and heartbreak that comes with being a clinician during the pandemic. The narrative pieces coming out of this by U-M IHPI members are fantastic and powerful. Thanks, @iwashyna

Thanks @iwashyna for making me laugh out loud. That image is phenomenal and I just keep chuckling

Was going to send to Alex Friedman Peahl before I read it, but wisely checked first... OF COURSE she’s quoted in it. Pandemic + her research passion = accelerated change Nat’l Clinician Scholars Program at U-M IHPI

This absolutely applies to surgery. And every part of our lives. If you disagree, please DM me. I’ll explain what I’ve learned from Valeria Valbuena, MD MSc Jessica Santos-Parker, MD PhD and others: If you can separate these horrible, racist events from your life, that is the definition of privilege.

Read this article by Scott Woods and his quote you've been seeing all over. "[Anti-racism work] is uncomfortable work ... You will have to think about the work, and once you start doing that correctly, you will never not be thinking about the work." columbusalive.com/news/20200603/…

Your place is in the resistance #MedTwitter Fight for Black Lives everyday, elevate Black voices, donate HARD CASH not just good intentions, change the way you are selecting, promoting, and caring for people. Step away from comfort. Give away your power so others can live

"It is our responsibility as surgeons to address these complex issues.... Our children will look back and ask, how did we respond." Dr. Erika Adams Newman on academic faculty experiences of racial discrimination. Michigan Surgery Assoc4AcademicSurgery

"What messages does it send when you have a department with just one or two faculty of color? We need diversity to be the leaders and best." Dr. Erika Adams Newman discussing the impetus for the Michigan Promise Michigan Surgery. Learn more here bit.ly/3dvGuFi.

Personal Reflection: It's good to hear an example of a department's investment in diversity for excellence. I'm also convinced that solutions on diversity need to be home-grown, individualized, and thoughtfully adapted. Culture still eats strategy for breakfast. Assoc4AcademicSurgery

Idk what’s going on at work/home for you this week, but if it feels like just another week with the background of collective pandemic stress, check on your privilege. Your students, coworkers, residents are not OK. Nothing about this is OK and we are just so tired

What are medical schools and residency programs doing to support their black trainees? Because this. We carry every single loss. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.

Dr. Lewis woke up this morning to tell it how it is. There is so much between the lines when it comes to the differential allocation of opportunity in med Ed. You cannot talk about DEI without acknowledging white supremacy and what that means for minoritized trainees and faculty
