My @NYTimes oped: RFK Jr. can't outright ban vaccines, so he's tackling vaccination infrastructure instead. This week's meeting of the vaccine advisory council will be an exercise in political theater, not scientific debate. #publichealth #vaccines buff.ly/EHBD6Pm

Come join us for this conversation. It should be fascinating (and it's free!) #BookRecommendations #BooksWorthReading #whattoread

Why should students include music if they are pursuing a non-music vocation? Medicine is more than science – it’s deeply human. Learn how music and the arts shape better docs. mpetersonmusic.com/podcast/episod… @AMWADoctors @AmerMedicalAssn @danielleofri @healthhumcon #WIMMonth #NewBook

What it really looks like when physicians are forced to cut corners… This week on How I Doctor, we spoke with Dr. @danielleofri, a primary care internist at Bellevue Hospital, about what happens when physician overload turns into patient harm, and why that’s the moment the system finally starts to pay attention. Dr. Ofri shares real stories about the pressure to cut corners, the emotional toll of near-mistakes, and the silent fear of harming the people we swore to protect. 🎧 Listen now on your favorite podcast app or here: offcall.com/learn/podcast/… #Offcall #HowIDoctor #PhysicianVoices #Burnout #PatientSafety #SystemicChange #PhysicianSupport

It’s hard to convey how grieved my colleagues and I feel by the evisceration of CDC, NIH et al. It’s like a death in the family, except that it’s a mass-casualty situation. Our govt seems determined to handicap your MD/RN's ability to care for you. tinyurl.com/4uey6sae
