I’m working on a keynote speech while my husband does the dishes…

I’m utterly convinced that one of the biggest predictors of career success (especially as a woman in medicine) is who you marry and how much work at home they’re willing to share.

I’ve gone toe-to-toe with big CEOs—and won.

After I explained to Jamie Dimon how a single mom working at his bank couldn’t afford to live on her low salary, Chase's competitors raised their minimum wage to help families make ends meet.

Oversight delivers for workers.

If you didn’t believe me when I said that the loss of ERAS revenue is an existential threat for the AAMC, take a look at this ‘not for circulation’ e-mail they sent to medical school deans, urging them to keep program directors from switching to another application system.

Children are starving in Gaza. Instead of opening up the borders and allowing humanitarian aid to come in, Israeli soldiers are shooting people who are desperately trying to get food off of trucks. This must stop. The U.S. cannot continue funding the Netanyahu war machine.

Medicine is the profession where when the canary in the coal mine dies, leaders just ask:
'Why can't we find more resilient canaries?'

HCA is the nation’s largest for-profit hospital chain.

It’s also the #1 sponsor of residency training programs in the U.S.

And HCA has **QUADRUPLED** the number of residents they train over the past decade.

(But yeah, tell me again how hospitals lose money training residents.)

residency is so jarring- you go from witnessing & partaking in some of the most traumatic things ever and then…you just go grocery shopping?
