I received this letter from a farmer in northeast Kansas. His wife is ill and he is aging. He sent me 1 of 5 N95 masks he has from farming to pass on to a doctor or nurse in New York. This is humanity at its best. I share his letter as inspiration.

Excited to join Stanford Medicine & the Muse and Stanford Medicine students on May 28 for the virtual symposium devoted to the power of writing and the humanities to support medical workers especially during a pandemic. #MedHum #emotionalPPE #writingmedicine #MedEd #MedIcIne

The Stanford University Minority Medical Alliance (SUMMA) statement on racial injustice. Proud to be surrounded by a group of future docs who will advocate + support our future Black pts. Hoping Stanford Medicine addresses the issues we outline in this statement! #BlackLivesMatter
