“Would anyone notice if something happened to me?”
A resident asked me that question five years ago.
I never forgot it.
Today, JAMA published my second essay, Would Anyone Notice?, inspired by that moment.
Looking back, I realize it’s almost a prequel to Time Is Finite.
One g our own time is finite.
The other is about realizing we never know how much time someone else has.
Medicine never stops moving. Maybe that’s why we have to be intentional about making time for ourselves and for one another.
Who in your life needs someone to notice them today?

Thanks so much for sharing! We need a cultural revolution in medicine if we are going retain talented physicians!
'...data shared here reveal a troubling reality: many talented women surgeons are not simply choosing to leave; they are being systematically forced out by toxic cultures, discriminatory practices, and retaliatory actions.'

Consensus guidelines recommend distinguishing infectious vs noninfectious mastitis, favor minimally invasive interventions for management, and guide use of antibiotics, imaging, and surgery for common breast conditions.

Here’s the asshole that wrote this disgusting headline about taylor swift. Using language like “open season” to describe a successful woman is disgusting and irresponsible. This encourages hate and violence and is deeply disappointing @CNN

Excuse me, @CNN, but you’re literally a NEWS INSTITUTION, and you’re actually posting this vile headline? What do you mean “finally”? This is disgusting and IRRESPONSIBLE. I’m in disbelief.
Thankfully, all the top comments—ALL of them—defended Taylor. This app should take notes.

It's easy to recommend exercise for better overall health but I had a truly remarkable day in clinic empowering patients with colon cancer to follow an evidence-based, post-op fitness program that offers a survival benefit on par with some chemo drugs
