"Incarcerated patients handcuffed to beds are a far too common sight in the hospital. The patient at the center of this story was intubated, heavily sedated and medically paralyzed, yet he was still handcuffed to the bed he was dying in." washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/… #SGIM22

Thanks Dominique Cosco for capturing this! We had a fantastic audience across ages and stages. Loved the energy at #SGIM22 after three years of missing it.

Vacations and perks aren't cures for exhaustion. They're temporary bandages to stop the bleeding. The first principle of fighting burnout is to reduce demands. Stop overloading teams with stressful tasks and expecting one person to do multiple jobs. annehelen.substack.com/p/the-expandin…

Spent this morning visiting a shelter for Ukrainian refugees in Tijuana. Spent the afternoon at a shelter ImmDef visits regularly to provide legal services to mostly Haitian & Central American families. The differences between the two are stark and soul-shattering. đź§µ

I will always remember as a new primary care attending, hearing my front desk staff pleading with patients that were being transferred from a retired male physician and had “never had a woman doctor”: “No don’t worry, she is young but she is very qualified, etc etc”

Continuity is #slowmagic. Watching my senior residents cry as they bid farewell to their primary care patients... if they could feel that bond before subspecialty choice, would more choose primary care? #primarycare #PublicVoices The OpEd Project

Striving to live and work based on “What would Hasan do?” It was a privilege to have him as my PD! We love you Hasan! ❤️ #MGH4life

Finally felt like a cool kid getting to hang out with @NallRyan, Era Kryzhanovskaya and Molly Heublein and talk all about outpatient teaching. Thank you The Curbsiders Teach Podcast for this amazing opportunity!

There are never enough words for the beloved women who have provided childcare (and love and wisdom) for my kids over the years. Glad for this chance to shine a light on them. Thanks to co-authors @AltafSaadiMD and Anne Thorndike, MD, MPH and of course to The OpEd Project
