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 and of course to @TheOpEdProject

What are your favorite books on grief for a general audience? Nonfiction and fiction both welcome. If you were building a lending library, what would you include? What about a book club selection? #hapc #hpm #grief #medtwitter #BookTwitter

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

A fantastic event to honor Dr. Hasan Bazari, Program Director Emeritus @MGHMedicine. A legendary clinician, educator and leader. His kindness and emphasis on humanity in medicine deeply influenced 1000s of trainees. Honored to say that he was my PD #MGH4life #bazariconferenceroom

@jesscolburn @IshaniG @primarycarechat I think about this every day. I see them start to enjoy it about halfway through residency when career plans are already made. The learning arc is longer and the magic of continuity takes time to manifest!

@IshaniG (our panel moderator): how do we design resident training to allow them to see the joy & value of #PrimaryCare ? This isn’t a 2nd choice career and there is incredible complexity, longitudinal care, and opportunity to change health care. What say you @primarycarechat ?
Primary Care for America@PC4America

Words of wisdom from @ElianaPerrin and @jesscolburn: If you're interested in social determinants of health, preventing health problems, have deep interest in people's stories, and have resilience, strength and fortitude, go into primary care. #PCEvent2022

@DrSarahAxelrath It’s Call the Midwife for me!! Although the focus is obviously women’s health, there are other types of stories too. Makes me love primary care even more every time I watch it.

Everyone has said it. I have nothing to add other than my despair, so I won’t. Instead, I would like to hear about #medtwitter’s favorite and underrated/underappreciated medical TV shows. This is basically a #TheKnick fangirl thread but I’ll entertain other suggestions.

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”

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. 🧵

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…
