Hey Twitter! A friend of mine’s friend experienced some overtly racism in Cleveland, OH at Presti’s Bakery in Little Italy. I can’t believe it’s 2021 and places like Little Italy are still able to operate as a racist community without any backlash.

This is abhorrent, unethical, and shameful. Governor Mike DeWine

If your "sincerely held beliefs" stop you from taking care of LGBTQ+ patients, you don't deserve to be a doctor.

🚨I wrote a big piece about how Delta affects the pandemic endgame. Many folks are upset & confused by the last month. Here's an attempt to reset expectations, lay out our goals, map the near-term future, & show how the pandemic ends--which it will. 1/ theatlantic.com/health/archive…

2020: Can I go running? 2021: My brother is a fully vaxxed Scorpio who only lies and my roommate is an unvaccinated INTJ who only tells the truth; how do we attend a 124-person outdoor wedding across a river with a fox, a chicken, and a sack of grain, and only one mask?

Being a new doctor is difficult. Being good at being a new doctor is astoundingly and extraordinarily difficult.

If we don’t start focusing on the collective instead of the individual, the vulnerable instead of the privileged, and the long-term instead of the short-term, we’re going to continue making bad decisions that prolong this mess. (Piece from June): theatlantic.com/health/archive…

🤯 me making my post-residency priorities

Everyone keeps talking about covid becoming endemic, but as I listen to the conversation, it’s becoming more & more clear to me that very few of you know what “endemic” means. So here’s a thread on how pandemics end.

It's a little exciting to see your name on a conference schedule for the first time! #CSM2022

🧵1/5 Seeking advice. I was given the great honor of speaking at a big PT conference, @APTAtweets. I value my PT colleagues & want to support this community💥 However. APTA isn't requiring vaccines, & it's in TX, which has no mask mandate. 12k people are expected to attend.😳

Ended up cancelling my CSM registration tonight* because of Omicron. I'm sad to give up my first conference presentation, but it feels like the right move for me. * Last day to cancel #CSM2022 apta.org/csm/participat… Also I may have COVID

Resurrecting this. Covid-19 wasn’t endemic last summer and it isn’t endemic now either. Squarely still in pandemic phase. No doubt we will eventually get there, but until then, need to use appropriate public health measures.

So I do have COVID. Please send suggestions on what I should do with my 5-10 days of isolation. Please do not say studying for my NCS boards. It is not a correct answer.

Imagine then every society does the right thing advocating for patients (and human rights) except yours own @APTAtweets

I never thought I would change my name when I got married— I was the first (medical) Dr. Newton in my family and I’m very proud of that. But, when presented with the opportunity to say “Hi, I’m Dr. Sleeper and I’ll be your anesthesiologist,” I just couldn’t pass it up!
