  • Writing can be done from anywhere. Even from a messy bed lol. What is your favourite place to write?
  • I enjoy birthdays. Today I’m 38! 🎂 I view my birthday as a time for reflecting on the past year, but also looking at the upcoming year like a blank page. A page where I can write anything I want. It’s a good time to think about not only my goals, but also how I want to approach life in general. What do I want my attitude to be? What can I do to make myself, and maybe the world, a little better this year? These are things I’m thinking about today 🙂 I’m also lucky to be sharing today with my niece Rita!
  • It’s funny that everyone in Miami is complaining about the current ‘cold front’ and they’re surprised that I’m not cold in my t-shirt. So #Canadian 🇨🇦Enjoying some sun after my intro salsa class today! Even with the so-called cold front it’s SPF 50 for me everyday!
  • Now that I’m back in Miami, ☀️taking the chance to do some long-awaited writing this morning at one of my favorite little spots here. Writing can be important part of the life of a clinician. It can help us to reflect experiences that I have with my patients, which I think leads to being better at my job. Writing about non-medical things is fun too. It’s good way to relax and prevent burnout, something so common in the field of medicine. 🏥 Do you write? ✍️Why?
  • Post 6 k. I feel like signing up for a race soon!
  • After a month stretch of working Hospitalist from #novascotia to #yellowknife, I have some time off work and maximized it by going dancing kizomba last night. Hospitalists are doctors who work, as you might guess, in hospitals! Normally we work 7 days in a row, including being on call and caring for patients who need to spend the night in hospitals. For example, we take care of patients admitted with pneumonia, hip fractures or dehydration, just to name a few. As fewer family doctors are seeing their own inpatients these days, hospitalists are becoming more and more popular. When we’re working it can sometimes get really busy. But then we usually get a nice break afterwards. And on this break I’m practicing my #kizomba skills! Has anyone else tried this? I’m getting obsessed.

As a #hospitalist in rural Canada, it's sad to learn about decreasing numbers of rural med students...what's up with that? Thanks for sharing this article @SRPCanada

How do people think the impeachment of @donaldtrump will affect health? I feel like so many other initiatives get neglected when #impeachment is the main #gov activity!

If we dig deeper here,

What about the #culture of This hospital makes it such that ‘women don’t do well here’ ?!

Also an avg of 31/patients a day?! If I am reading that, what haphazard patient care those 31 patients must receive 🤔 https://twitter.com/thaiscoutinhoCV/status/1207338879180779525

And then they say there is no gender bias in Medicine... Look at this hospitalist job ad from Arizona. 😡 https://www.ziprecruiter.com/c/Ascend-Medical/Job/Hospitalist/-in-Bullhead-City,AZ?jid=DQ72c4059fd09b3c11c8d39c5665e2548b

Q2. Did you get any formal leadership training in med school or residency? Do you think this should be part of #MedEd? #SoMeDocs #leadership #medicine
