Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands. It’s rather a busy day for a ‘quiet life’ but I will try my best.

@cessadelove1 Amen!

Let’s pray: Heavenly Father, we come before You this morning and pray against every thought of fear, doubt, heaviness, anxiety, and discouragement trying to settle over my mind and spirit. Every lie that tells me I am not enough, every feeling that tries to pull me from peace, and every attack meant to weaken my faith has no authority over my life. I belong to You, and I trust Your hand covers me even in seasons I don’t fully understand. Lord, fill my heart with Your peace today. Your Word says in Isaiah 41:10, “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee.” Today, I stand on that promise. I will not allow fear to control me, discouragement to make me give up, or temporary struggles to make me forget who You have called me to be. I believe You are working behind the scenes, opening doors, protecting me, strengthening me, and preparing me for what’s ahead. Help me stay patient in the process and obedient in every season. Teach me to trust Your timing instead of rushing ahead. Thank You for never leaving me, for Your grace, mercy, and constant presence. I place everything in Your hands and move forward in faith. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

@WolfofX Humanity at its best form ever.

Almost 5,000 people waited for hours in the rain at a swabbing event in Worcester, to get tested to see if they were a match to help save the life of a five-year-old boy fighting a rare cancer, after his parents asked for help

@maxmarchione Wow!

12.4% of US adults are on a GLP-1s. It was 5.8% in Feb 2024. It doubled in 18 months. The global anti-obesity market is projected to grow from $19.6B today to $104.9B in 2035. This is the fastest mainstream drug adoption of our lifetime.

Pray a lot!! Pray for everything, even if it seems impossible or ridiculous. Pray for the little things, big things, and everything in between. Keep that connection between you and God open all day, every day. Pray and then watch how tiny miracles fill your life.

@GBX_Press No one wins in a war - the aviation industry is grounding to a halt.

85 to 90 percent of women physicians are eldest daughters. That is not a coincidence. That is a pipeline. Eldest daughters are trained, before age five, to over-function. They take on a parent's worry. They organize the family. They clean up without being asked. They do not ask for help, because they were rewarded their whole childhood for not needing any. Then they walk into medicine. A career that demands hyper-responsibility, hypervigilance, perfectionism, and silent sacrifice does not have to ask these women to give those things. They were giving them before they could read. The system is not stumbling into a burnout problem. The system is recruiting from a pool of people whose entire childhood was a training program for it. This is what pediatrician and certified coach Jessie Mahoney has been finding when she asks the room. In every group, in every retreat. Maybe one or two women are not eldest daughters. The rest have been carrying something since before they could spell their own name. Most of those women blame themselves. "Why don't I have boundaries?" "Why do I over-function?" "Why can't I delegate?" Because at five years old, your family rewarded you for over-functioning. Because every teacher praised you for it. Because the medical training system selected for it. Because every job since has reinforced it. The pattern is older than your medical degree by twenty years. The other piece nobody names: by the time these women are in their fifties, they are carrying eldest-daughter responsibility for aging parents AND running a department as chief AND running a household. The role does not retire when the children do. It just compounds. Jessie's reframe is the part worth bookmarking. The "hero" framing is the trap. Eldest daughters were made the savior of the family before they could read. Then medicine made them the savior of the patient. Then the department made them the savior of the team. At every stage, they learned that if they did not do it, terrible things would happen and it would be their fault. Awareness is the first move. Non-judgment is the second. Excellence is not doing everything yourself. Excellence is letting other people do their jobs. You are allowed to gift some of it back. You can ask your siblings to carry the aging parent. You can let your medical assistant do the medical assistant's job. You can stop covering the gap that nobody actually asked you to cover. Most eldest daughters in medicine have never asked for help. When they finally do, they discover people are willing to help. The asking was the whole obstacle. Listen to the full conversation on The Podcast by KevinMD. Link in the replies. What is the one task you have been carrying for your family or your team that no one ever actually asked you to carry? #ThePodcastbyKevinMD

@sdixitmd Sorry for your loss

One of my practice partners passed away today from cancer. He was barely 60. Twelve months ago he was struggling but still in his office and in the OR trying to look after his patients. I said my goodbyes to him yesterday. Today I saw clinic at his main location and walked into his office. It felt empty. Was an incredible reality check. He’s in a better place. He was a man of incredible kindness and faith. Needless to say he was a great doctor. Godspeed Jack.

@SpiritAirlines Shocked that the bailout didn’t happen. Well, your airline had a good run while it lasted.

@DocPriyamMD Excellent discuss on the pathophysiology of common cold.

A student asked: "If sore throats are caused by a virus or bacteria, how come sleeping under the fan or drinking cold water gives it?" I am surprised most people are not aware of the answer to this.
