proud of this latest podcast by @csahq.bsky.social Vital Times podcast series: an interview with UCSF Anesthesiology's Dr. Marilyn Harper, who joined the dept in the 1970s. Her ground-breaking perseverance and grace are awe-inspiring. @asamonitor.bsky.social www.buzzsprout.com/2009442/epis...

A huge honor and occasion for me today: got to speak on the workplace culture in the PeriOperative space and using soft skills to negotiate it, at the ASA ADVANCE 2025 practice management meeting. #anesthesiology #MedEd

does the US - and do the American people - have enough healthcare dollars to care for all these future polio victims? are those old photographs of iron lung hospital wards not enough of a warning? what's the endgame here?

This post is exactly why physicians are burning out and quitting. I’ve spent 30 years as an anesthesiologist, studying and training, getting up at 4am daily, being at my best for my patients. And random people decide they know more about my job than I do, and call us frauds. Peachy.

Kudos to @stanfordanes.bsky.social for this App, which in real time can help an anesthesiologist calculate the environmental costs of an anesthetic. We can all do our own bit in lessening the human impact on our planet. ethergreen.app/dl/da19fa @csahq.bsky.social

this is going to come off as petty and snippy, and I regret that. But... we picked a man with a hole in his frontal lobe as the leader of the HHS and the NIH???!!!

how do we alter course, and return to empathy, kindness and mutualism as operating values of our society? it would be swimming upstream, wouldn't it? We currently are more about material success, gladiatorial victories, and casting off the weak. We need a Deus Ex Machina plot device, STAT.

I need someone in the UK to tape this documentary for me. I was obsessed with Hvaldimir. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I want to say something smart and charismatic, but I got nothing. I’m grateful for a new space, though, where we collectively can share medical knowledge, communicate it, and discuss workplace culture and empathy. Oh, and hopefully also glean some good tennis and running news. #MedSky

I am interested in workplace culture in modern medicine; it reflects the bigger picture of our American society, which seems to have cast aside empathy. This 2-episode arc in our Vital Times podcast discusses the Empathy Deficit, with a UCLA Anthropology Prof. www.buzzsprout.com/2009442/epis...
