obstetrician: so how might you do that different next time?

According to Greek Mythology, Chiron was a half horse, half human doctor.

we should spend as much time thinking and telling students what they do well as we take for telling them what to improve upon! positive reinforcement is more encouraging and engaging then constantly being told areas that your not good at and makes you want to improve!

"Acknowledging the importance of the obesogenic environment and its amplification of our genetic differences, can help destigmatise obesity. Perhaps it is time to shift our focus away from the individual and towards a healthier society" blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2019/07/03…
GIRLS SUPPORTING GIRLS! the kind of responses i love for completing mundane tasks like biking to work lolol
my biggest peice of advice to new residents is to find a comfortable and safe pooping and crying bathroom (to do one or the other or somethings both!) in the hospital early on. It is key to maintaining your mental health.

ED patient we restarted on bup because he was kicked out of his clinic for a + utox. How / why are clinics doing this? We don’t stop insulin for noncompliant diabetics, we don’t refuse medicine to COPD patients still smoking. Anyone? @highlandherring @LizSamuels @OpioidTaskForce
