We can condemn the behavior, but also act with compassion for the fear, trauma, and guilt behind it. *That* is how we make real change.

Had a great time discussing giftedness and neurodivergence. It's geared towards physicians but applies to everyone with giftedness and/or neurodivergence. Listen wherever you get your podcasts. If you want to learn more about giftedness or coaching, DM me!

When a company purposes its existence in denying people’s humanity in their time of need (for no other motive than $) we can’t be surprised when people in turn deny the humanity of those who profit/from that company. Is it morally perfect? No. But not surprising.
A man with a wife and two children was murdered in cold blood. He was a human being.
But you would hardly know that from watching the explosive reaction, including among folks who allegedly pride themselves on their humanity, tolerance, and decency.

I have definitely entered my #wicked hyperfixation era. Will probably last 1-2 weeks (depending on when I see it again!) Music is in my head on a loop…I apologize in advance to all my coworkers who will have to hound me about unfinished charts…

More gems from the annals…cough/URI symptoms for 10 days (in a specialist office!) started with bad headache and sore throat, (but no covid testing) No magic medicine to make it all go away instantly so you are called incompetent and uncaring #medsky

Had a tough OR day Friday. Ruminated all weekend. Today I hear @bradstulberg.bsky.social talk about the concept of the clutch performance state…where you fight for your outcome, even when it’s hard. Instead of beating myself up, now trying to praise myself for hanging in there. #surgeons

I’ve been training to become a coach, and I’d like to focus on physicians/surgeons as well as gifted adults. I want to address how we are taught to function as surgeons and how that can hurt a lot of us, and topics we don’t speak of like anxiety in surgery. Please like/comment if this speaks to you.

Hi everyone! I finally made the switch over here. I’m so excited to see the people I’ve missed so much (like @omnintensivist.bsky.social!) from X where I was @IHaveSinus. Excited to chat all things #medsky, but all ENT, nose, sinus, breathing, sleep and REALITY
