Medical regulation often talks about protecting the 'public', but we forget that providers are part of the public. Understanding disability more deeply could inform medical regulation. Please check out my latest in the Journal of Medical Regulation!!

When Patient is Provider: How a Deeper Understanding of Patienthood and Disability Can Improve Medical Regulation
ABSTRACT:. While medical regulation supports the medical profession to fulfill its social contract with society, regulation for providers with serious mental illnesses is a particularly complex topic....

Met a friend at ICRE 2024 & was excited to get to write about how he and I as queer men (& others) uphold the norms of the cisheteropatriarchy in ways that can limit diverse perspectives in medical education research. Check it out! #MedEdSky

Maybe controversial vent...

My by far least favorite part of my job is interacting with doctors who hate their job and don't want to care for patients. I try to be empathetic to people who are overworked (and training is incredibly challenging) but also you decided to be in this profession.

Re: United alleged shooter. All the articles are writing this beautiful "i'm just so shocked that someone as wealthy and as smart as him committed a crime". And it for me is both an unshocking and disturbing assessment of the false views we have on crime.

This is a horrible story of a doctor who did despicable things, but it is equally the story of a hospital who for over a decade knowingly let that person do said things because it helped their bottom line.

“I think I’m one of those lucky people who got to do for a living what I would have done anyway,” Van Dyke remarks in the clip, as scenes from his screen career play. “When you think how lucky I am – I got to do what I do, play and act silly."

Honey, stop what you're doing, new hyponatremia research just dropped!

What's it say?

It looks like slow correction is associated with worse outcomes, like death and length of stay!

Was it just a small study?

No, it was a meta-analysis of almost 12,000 patients!

Correction Rates and Clinical Outcomes in Hospitalized Adults With Severe Hyponatremia
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the association of sodium correction rates with mortality among hospitalized adults with severe hyponatremia.
