Sarah Matathia MD MPH DipABLM

Oh, I realized suddenly. It’s not that I’m not smart enough or don’t know enough. It’s burnout. I took my own advice. I cut back. I put exercise on my calendar. I learned to meditate. I started writing. I feel better. I still see patients. #ShareAStoryInOneTweet

For folks out there feeling balanced between their professional and personal lives (whatever that looks like for you), how do you do it? Full time (FT) with strong boundaries? Part time? Other? Please share your struggles and pearls!

@PaulNWilliamz took me about 6 years post residency to be confident that I’m a generalist and I like it

Doctors are in a very difficult position. We have absolute accountability, combined with minimal authority.

I wrote a brief summary of the new RSV vaccines (for those >60 and pregnant people) and monoclonal antibody (for infants). I’d love it if you’d read and share with anyone that might benefit! managinghealthexpectations.com/post/rsv-poten…

I woke up this morning and saw this on the front of @TheLancet. A quote from my manuscript. As the feature article. A narrative. Whew. Along with redefining what a professor looks like, it makes me happy to help expand what scholarship looks like, too. Yeah. #storiescount 💛

@DrZedZha we should all ask for more spice when it is called for!!

@SarahMatMDMPH ...a role model in shouting "excuse me, more spice please"😂😂😂You, my friend, are a good mama, good doc, and good human! Though we both could learn to be more "wild" from Sarah lol.

Twitter is a mixed bag, but it did bring me a great friend in @DrZedZha! Turns out you can have role models that are younger than you 😍

maybe all of our ruined summer vacation plans will motivate us to mobilize for #ClimateAction.

The primary care Catch22. If you don’t click away, you will burn out from admin overload after hours. But if you do click away, you will burn out from lack of presence and connection.

the best thing the health system could do for patients is to protect each clinician’s ability to be human.

ACLM applauds @NYCMayor's plant-based resolution, subsequently ratified by the U.S. Conference of Mayors, to fight disease, climate crisis, and ensure fiscal sustainability. Read the full release: prn.to/3K3EXJI

🚨New in @JAMIA_Journal with @AJHolmgren 🚨we find that the gender disparity in electronic inbox burden increased post-pandemic Our data underscores a need to consider & compensate for the work associated with the EHR inbox, esp given disproportionate impact on women docs

"The trouble of greed is so big I have trouble finding purchase. Financial greed is eroding the foundation of success of medicine - which is the shared pursuit of the mission of healing. We must dissent." @donberwick @TheIHI #IHI2022

i’d like us all to try hard when we discuss public health crises to, in the same breath, speak to policy solutions. health is policy policy is politics politics is local we can do this.

Curious about what *really* happens in therapy? So many people wonder what actually happens in therapy. Many people don’t go when they might benefit because of stigma, gross misconceptions about what therapy actually looks like (hello, TV and movies!), and access. #thread 🧵

@PaulNWilliamz Start with a social history when you’re first meeting someone or for physicals. I keep this very open ended. “I’d like to start by getting to know you. Tell me what life looks like for you.” or “What’s life like these days? What is keeping you busy?”

often the unifying etiology is trauma.

may you find the places you feel still and linger.
