An essay in JAMA, arguing that doctors should each lunch. Ideally with other people.

Healthcare workers are inherently altruistic and self-sacrificing, and business exploits these traits by pushing clinicians to the edge of exhaustion.

An adoptee cuddles a baby on her pediatrics rotation, and reimagines how clinicians might use the electronic medical record to communicate love to/for/about their patients.

This amazing paper, about the history of time organization for doctors, reminds me of the scene in Devil Wears Prada where Meryl Streep explains to Anne Hathaway where her ugly blue sweater came from. "This way of practicing medicine was selected FOR you..." 🤯🤯🤯
