Spent some time having a serious conversation with a 4th year resident about professionalism last week.
Glanced at the news about things the president has done, said, and immortalized in plaques at the White House.
Professionalism may be a losing battle, yo.

So well-said. Better off waiting for the infinite monkeys to type up Shakespeare.
When I hear AI proponents say things like "I can't wait to put in one prompt and get a new season of my favorite show," I don't know how to begin explaining that can't happen with how these things work.
It's like going into IKEA and said "I can't wait to get the wardrobe that takes me to Narnia."

I never considered being a teacher of any kind prior to becoming an attending physician. Working with trainees continues to be one of the most beautiful and unexpected parts of being in medicine.

Hubs had a procedure at the hospital today and the nurse, who knows me, added logical discharge instructions: “If you’re not feeling well, consult your wife”. 🤣🤣🤣

That moment when you get a page a half hour after falling asleep...oi. Shift 5/5 coming up. Tomorrow night will be so sweet.

Dear @nba.com,
Peacock-exclusive NBA games is a mistake. Letting NBC prop up its streaming platform with your content is profoundly dumb. But what do you care so long as the checks clear, right? Still, allow me to explain, if you care to hear, the kind of fan you're alienating with this policy. 1/

Walk out to observe the hive entrance. Healthy buzz from within. Met by a guard who has strong opinions about my proximity.
That's right, ma'am. You tell me to shove off. We need that kind of sass in this apiary.

This talk of Housing First "failure" perplexes me. As an inpatient psychiatrist, at least 1/3 patients I see are unhoused. Waitlists for supported housing are months or years long - useless.
Where is all this secret housing? In ~10 years of practice, I've yet to see it.

Here's to the quiet-but-mighty community hospitals out there informing their staff that any law enforcement officer, including ICE officers, require a valid warrant signed by a judge to enter patient care spaces.
May we all follow only *lawful* orders.

Let’s call the very average salary $66K a year. That’s what they say it is.
On that salary. It would take you 15 million years to earn $1 trillion dollars.

The most disgusting part of this pathetic display from jello-spine democrats is that a "deal" this weak could've been agreed to in under a week. So why even bother with the 40 days of pain? PRIMARY THEM NOW. CHUCK SCHUMER RESIGN.

There is no quicker way to lose faith in the future of society than paying for things in cash.
The stares. The fear of making change. The crisis of having to interpret the monetary value of a dime.
Help.
