Susan Hata

Thank you to a brave colleague for sharing their story, and starting an important tradition of Peer Mental Health Panels for our program @mghmedres . Check out this article by Dr. Emmett Kistler: meridian.allenpress.com/jgme/article/1…

For the resident I used to be, and for the residents who astound me every day with their compassion and courage. jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

@epictetusMD @mghmedres @BrighamMedRes Thank you!

To Worry or to Believe jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/… Great essay by @smrhata - "When I look at today’s residents, I don’t feel worried about their dedication. I feel proud of them." @mghmedres @BrighamMedRes

Wanted to give a shout out to writers Lucy Flood and Matt Daly from #WriteToThrive who led a wonderful series of writing workshops for our department last fall --they fostered community and reflection. Check out their website: writetothrive.net #MedEd #WellBeing

Feeling grateful for incredible colleagues and mentors today. And deeply moved by Dr. Jilani's piece in @nytimes today about physician mental health. I love my profession and am committed to making it safer to get the help we need to stay in it. nytimes.com/2022/03/30/opi…

"I needed from her doctors what I imagine they would have wanted for their own families: I wanted them to tell my grandma that they knew her pain and losses were real and to name her suffering." So proud of @AlexisDrutchas for this courage. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

@CaitlinNLi @TheBCRP @swinndong @ninamurr @BCHPedsID Thanks!

@smrhata @TheBCRP @swinndong @ninamurr @BCHPedsID I can email you the slides if you’d like! Some things are BCH-specific, but a lot would be relevant at MGH.

Getting ready to give one of my favorite chalk talks as @TheBCRP noon conference! @swinndong @ninamurr @BCHPedsID #IDTwitter #tweetiatrician #MedEd #MedTwitter

@DanSaddawi @EmotionalPPE Thank you, Dan. Your paper in JAMA was so important. Check out Minnesota, changing their license questions this month! mn.gov/boards/assets/…

This is great to see - thank you! We also have a lot of work to do with credentialing questions and insurance. @EmotionalPPE

@doreen_rabi @ScottVernaglia @drbreenheroes @drjessigold @DanSaddawi @EmotionalPPE @mghfc @TheOpEdProject Thanks Doreen, I completely agree.

@ScottVernaglia @smrhata @drbreenheroes @drjessigold @DanSaddawi @EmotionalPPE @mghfc @TheOpEdProject These questions do not contribute to effective regulation but are effective at shaming & silencing MDs in distress. They also facilitate blaming MDs for poor mental health & shift focus from the systemic & cultural factors causing harm. Ty @smrhata 🙏❤️

My incredible colleague @smrhata speaking up to #EndStigma caused by state licensing board questions that harm physicians @drbreenheroes @drjessigold @DanSaddawi @EmotionalPPE @mghfc @TheOpEdProject bostonglobe.com/2022/01/27/opi…

This generation of residents is training through a chronic mass trauma. They deserve to get the help they need to heal – for their future selves, careers and patients. We can do this. bostonglobe.com/2022/01/27/opi…

@Peter_Grinspoon Great point, Peter! Absolutely right. Thank you for adding that.

Spectacular op-ed by my colleague Dr. Susan Hata @smrhata at MGH. I'd only add: don't forget addiction in list of challenges we face. Many doctors suffer from anxiety and depression. States aren’t helping bostonglobe.com/2022/01/27/opi…

@AlexisDrutchas @NEJM This is such an important story, and I'm so glad it's out in the world!

Instead of resolving to improve ourselves this New Year, maybe a new approach to our planet is in order. So proud of @wynnearmand for this piece on reducing plastic in this world! @TheOpEdProject miamiherald.com/opinion/op-ed/…

As a pediatrician, I’ve spent months preparing families (including my own) for this moment: vaccinating young children for Covid-19. I'm so grateful to meet parents in their love and concern for their kids. #PublicVoices @TheOpEdProject @MghMedPeds tennessean.com/story/opinion/…

Untreated pain doesn’t make kids tougher. But empowering kids (and parents) with strategies does make them more confident in handling discomfort. #PublicVoices #MGH @TheOpEdProject @MghMedPeds @mghfc thehill.com/opinion/health…

For our patients and colleagues, who spend countless hours navigating a broken system to get help. @ThaliaKrakower and I are asking @AmerMedicalAssn to act with the urgency a crisis demands. statnews.com/2021/10/06/ama… @TheOpEdProject @statnews

So proud of this rockstar quad, training to run the marathon while working everywhere from the lab to the PICU to the Bigelow to the CCU. Let's help support them and kick childhood cancer's butt at the same time! @Mike_ylleK @laurenmalds @Emmaline01741 because.massgeneral.org/campaign/mgh-r…

Also found this on my desk when I got back to the office this afternoon - timely for the end of Macy? #hmied15 harvardmagazine.com/2013/11/the-po…

Feeling really grateful for the richness of the @harvardmacy experience! #hmied15
