As part of the research for my (someday upcoming) cancer book, I went to some “functional medicine” appointments to see what the appeal was and I am very glad I did it. Here are two parts of it that I think lead people to engage with non-evidence based healthcare. The first is…
We also found that youth that used firearms, the most common means, were also less likely to have a documented mental health diagnosis, highlighting the need for universal lethal means counseling and Child Access Protection Laws to keep our most vulnerable population safe.
Three out of 5 youth who die by suicide do not have a documented mental health diagnosis, highlighting the need for comprehensive youth suicide prevention strategies. ja.ma/3WK9bIG
This is why when I talk to high school and college students about becoming doctors, I mention SPECIFIC hours and money and time commitment. I didn’t know.
When I applied to medical school, I had no idea how residency worked (even that they were different lengths of time), and I certainly had no idea how many hours I would work and how little time off I would have.

PSA, if you’re in the emergency department and your doctor tells you they’re sorry you’ve been sitting in the waiting room and that they’re working on freeing up a room for you, I promise you they are doing everything in their power to do exactly that. It is not a lie.
One thing I wish I had done throughout med school/residency is keep a running list of all the awesome things I’ve done: difficult diagnoses I’ve made, patients I’ve helped, kudos from attendings, etc. Because my dumbass brain only wants to remember all the times I’ve fucked up
The only media subscription that really feels indispensable to me is @dropout Like, I could (easily) live without Hulu, but I watch something on Dropout every single day and feel great about the cost and the value proposition.
$100,000 base salary for residents is totally reasonable. Balanced discussion in this piece by @EricReillyDO!
I broke down the numbers for you in the latest @ASAMonitor issue. Who funds resident physicians and are their salaries fair? It seems that many changes are necessary. pubs.asahq.org/monitor/articl…

Dear house of medicine, Happy (academic) new year. Here’s your annual paycut. This one will bring you to a total 23% decrease since that whole “pandemic” thing. Love, The US Government PS: We have shortage of healthcare workers and deep health access issues in this country.…
I don’t understand why there is a “is healthcare a privilege or right” debate in America. #EMTALA has made healthcare a right, period. This 1986 federal statute mandates EVERYONE gets medically screened for an emergency and given emergency treatment if needed, regardless of…
Q: Why are waits at emergency rooms so long? A: Because the rest of the healthcare system is failing. The patient did everything right, but the healthcare system did them so so so wrong. 🧵… They call their PCP, but can’t get an appointment. So they turn to the ER. They…
Saying “well studies have shown” with my full chest as if I don’t get most of my MedEd from podcasts and twitter
I asked 100 ED doctors what we are experts at. Most notable were how often things like teamwork, compassion, communication, remaining calm and more came up. While we must be experts in many pathologies, what makes our discipline special is how we act, not just what we know.

Ortho-bound MS4: 275 Step 1, 280 Step 2, memorized Harrison’s Internal Medicine textbook while studying for their IM shelf, and can recite the Krebs cycle backwards Ortho PGY1: asks Medicine to admit patient for femur fracture because the patient takes 2.5mg of amlodipine……
Ortho asking for the patient to be admitted to medicine because they have a blood pressure of 146/93.
In this study, medical advice messages increased 230% from 2019-2021. Volume varied, with high-volume pediatricians receiving triple the messages and working 7.5 more hours on the EHR after clinical hours per quarter than the low-volume group. ja.ma/3NDpfar
