A non-medical friend recently asked me to describe clinic. I told her to imagine you have 20 meetings in a day, half of them new clients with urgent needs. Each requires your best self. You are late for at least 10 of them. You must prepare a report and deliverables for each one.

Rest in power Dr Bernard Lown 1921-2021. You have left the world with the defibrillator, the CCU, and perhaps saved us from nuclear war - but most importantly you taught generations of trainees to “do more FOR our patients and less TO them”. We have lost a giant today.

After IRB approval, the authors demonstrate that an Apple iPhone 12 brought into immediate proximity to Medtronic ICD will suspend tachy therapies (figure).
The ICD community should be aware of this interaction, and include this in pt counseling.

Sometimes you read your own work and relive an experience. I had almost forgotten that I had written this. I relived that night, the 1 am phonecall, and the fateful fever nytimes.com/2017/10/24/magaz…

Intern year is wild. I had one patient on my ICU month who needed ECMO. I went to the ICU nurse & said, "the attending wants us to start ECMO" and then literally 47 things happened that I didn't understand. After that I went back to my call room and looked up what ECMO stood for.

I like that quote-"life is not measured by the number of breaths you take but by the number of moments that take your breath away." On in-patient rounds today 1 of our patients uttered the magical words, "Thanks so much for taking care of me." Each time I hear it I'm breathless.

Absolutely. #Balance, #Burnout, #selfcare implies our failure, not the failure of a system that doesn't take care of its #physicians. We need the system to improve if we want to make #medicine better @JAMA_current @DrSuzyFeigofsky @DrToniyaSingh #ACCIWC @MinnowWalsh @ACCinTouch xitter.gq/ahalvani/status/102220…

Simple, radical, beautiful. "Stealing the opportunity for meaningful last words is precisely the kind of avoidable complication that ought to be visible to us in the ICU. My intubation checklist now includes this step." #hpm #meded

Sometimes an NSTEMI is just a STEMI without ST elevation - very high risk @DLBHATTMD @gabrielsteg @HarshGMD xitter.gq/ESC_journals/status/92…
