So doctors (or all clinicians) - don't forget to take care of yourself!!

Ten years later (~2017; after my residency), the Triple Aim expanded to the Quadruple Aim, including improving clinician well-being (health, joy of work, etc.).
How can someone care for others when they are not caring for their self?

The good news is that this isn't a new or unconsidered issue.
Does everyone remember the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) Triple Aim (improving cost, improving quality, improving experience) -- circa 2007? [I was in medical school then.]

Great opening talk by Dr. John Clarke at #AOHC2025 on implicit bias! He's the Medical Director for Occ. Med. at @astrazeneca.bsky.social. Implicit bias is so critical in medicine, not only in terms of taking care of our patients, but also in how we (esp. Black physicians) present ourselves. 🩺✊🏾

In another case of pandering to the new administration, @theonion.com fired all its writers today, citing efficiency aims. "Expect the same journalistic excellence from The Onion," says editor-in-chief Barry DeLede. "In the current sociopolitical climate, the stories write themselves."

Dear #medsky - I strongly recommend any of you doing spirometry to not limit it only to expiratory loop. You will catch a lot of variable extrathoracic obstruction (vocal cord dysfunction) on the inspiratory loop, I assure you. VCD is very commonly mistaken for asthma and can be concomitant with it.

This award also requires a talk for the conference. I discussed the role of Occupational and Environmental Medicine physicians as necessary to bridge the gap between clinical medicine and #publichealth in this age of various health hazards, including political, as trustworthy sources are lacking.

Hey ya'll, be careful out there and wear a mask if you can. High rates of COVID, flu, and RSV in the community. I got taken down this weekend. #medsky
Interestingly, only one of these home tests was positive. Urgent care wouldn't test me for flu as supplies were too low 🙃
