Yes, the HPV vaccine is safe, despite R.F.K. Jr.'s claims. It's remarkably effective at preventing cancer — roughly 97% effective in preventing cervical cancer, and nearly 100% effective in preventing external genital warts.

The 30 hour shifts in neurosurgery residency taught me that, whatever train wreck comes thru the door, you just focus on the people and things you’re responsible for, work with what you have, and eventually that nightmare shift will be over. That also works for other stuff, like arctic blasts.

On this snow day, just a reminder that childcare stress is associated with burnout, intent to leave, and intent to reduce hours in healthcare workers

Happy everything! Things we did this holiday season: rode horses, watched home alone, baked 12 cookies, chased snow all the way into the Alleghenies. Things we didn’t do: send Christmas cards, wrap presents, lots of parties. Just a reminder that you don’t have to do it all.

A surgical residency reduced 80-hour workweek violations by 10% with targeted workflow fixes & cultural shifts. Resident readiness improved without sacrificing education or care. #ProcessImprovement #MedSky @ucsdhealth.bsky.social
Leveraging Lean Methodology to Improve Compliance With Work-Hour Restrictions
In this quality improvement study including the web-based survey responses of 29 residents, a hybrid Lean process improvement workshop was used to identify systemic inefficiencies and develop targeted interventions aimed at reducing work hours. The mean number of residents per block who logged more than 80 hours per week decreased from 4.4 (12.4%) to 0.8 (2.2%), for a difference of 10.2%.

Call weekends are perfect for low stakes to-do lists where you don’t really care if you get to do them or not - you’re not missing out if it’s busy, and you’re ahead if it’s not. This weekend my list was sweeping the barn, organizing a closet, and baking a pumpkin.

Everyone needs that one friend who will listen nonjudgmentally while you whine (and of course you should return the favor) - today it’s about the tooth fairy 🫣
