I’m gonna be digesting this quote for awhile. (From “Practicing the Way” by John Mark Comer)

Viewpoint: Political interference in the medical profession threatens evidence-based standards of care and the autonomy of health care professionals. https://ja.ma/4iuXJZ5

Intrusion in the Practice of Medicine

This Viewpoint discusses the importance of medical professionals and experts protecting modern medicine and public health by defending the profession’s unique expertise and ability to set the standard of care.

NIH Director, Dr. Monica Bertagnolli exits stage left… Having served in the lead role since November 2023, kudos to Dr Bertagnolli for setting a research agenda for the 138 year old institute that considered the health issues of ALL Americans. Thanks for your selfless service @drjunejd.bsky.social

I had this hilarious dream last night. I was dying, but it wasn't sad - more like in the Disney movie Coco, going across a flower bridge. I'm halfway across the bridge and I stopped cold and yell, “Wait I've still got econsults in my Epic inbasket!"

2025 hopes: Promotion to full professor?As I sit in a small town cafe in Northern WI, I hear the words flung at me 8 years ago before Assoc “You’re not ready.” Those words burned my world down & made me rebuild it all, finding my identity in who I am (a child of God) rather than what I’d done.

It is well with my soul… 2024 was relentless and, quite frankly, horrible. I found some healing this AM. May the Hope that is Christmas rest on you as well. ❄️

If universities want to retain female faculty they need to deal with the people who create hostile workplaces. That means actually dealing with sexual harassers, assholes, bullies, and every else who scores high on the dark triad. If not, you will lose your best people over and over again.

#MedSky One of the most concerning things to me about #AI is how confident it is even when it has no idea what it’s talking about. Who’s training the AI? 🤔 Just one example: behold the radius, the ulna, and a spare? #WomenInMedicine #WomenInSTEM #WomenInTech cc @erictopol.bsky.social

This is why I ❤️ my new city: Omaha is COVERED in ice & shining bright with kindness today. Ice storm hit last evening while teens at a 🤖 tourney. Took us 90 min going 5-15mph to get them. One of their friends 🚗 got stuck - couldn’t make it up hill & an Omaha resident took him in for the night. ❤️

Telehealth Will Die In 3 Weeks Without Congressional Action

Urgent action is needed to pass the Telehealth Modernization Act before it expires, ending telemedicine on Dec. 31. This would be devastating for disabled and rural patients.

19 years after my very 1st ASH, this introvert finally figured it out: I’m not heading home exhausted 1) said no to everything that wasn’t an immediate yes in my mind when invited 2) didn’t do any big social events that I find draining 3) paid attention to my internal 🔋🪫/change plans when necessary.
