Medicine is a struggle. Understand the depths of your knowledge, and its limits. Bear witness. Communicate. Be vigilant. Be humble. Be strong. Be human, but not too human. Walk this sharp line, until your feet bleed, then keep walking. 18/

The resident I'm working with said "one of the best ways to learn is by making a mistake. So don't ever feel bad about making a mistake around me" and that might be the most comforting thing I've heard in medical school.

Let’s set the record straight. The health care workers taking pics and posting/tweeting about receiving their vaccine aren’t bragging and being boastful about being first. We’re saying we trust science. We’re grateful for the glimmer of hope in this pandemic, 1/x

LEADERSHIP TRAINING OPPORTUNITY Senior #EMresidents, come join a cadre of #physicianwellbeing leaders and learn about ways to address #burnout. You don't have to do it alone. Join the CORD Mini-Fellowship in #Wellness #Leadership: Deadline 02.28.21 cordem.org/resources/prof…

To medical students: Time takes many things away from you as it passes. Life is often a difficult lesson in letting go. But Time also gives you one gift; a precious, powerful gift. A gift that can alter your very reality. The gift of perspective. So here’s mine. 1/

Saying "I was wrong" isn't an admission of incompetence. It's a sign that you have the humility to recognize your mistakes and the integrity to learn from them. The faster you are to acknowledge when you’re wrong, the faster you can move toward being right. #ThinkAgain

Medical education: there are two types of people in this world- “I had to go through it, so you should too” and “I had to go through it, so I’ll work to make sure you don’t.” Please don’t be the first. You can receive great training AND not suffer. #MedTwitter

When you punish failure, people are quick to deny it. They strive to convince others—and themselves—that they haven't failed. When you normalize failure as part of growth, people are quick to recognize it. They strive to learn from it and rectify it. tedtalks.social/WLAdam

You are doing the best you can under your current circumstances. You are doing the best you can under your current circumstances. You are doing the best you can under your current circumstances. 🙏🏾
