Also also, this is my 1st time winning a book award (yeah I’ve had some prior 3rd places & made a few finalist lists, but never won before), so to have this book of my ❤️ win the socially conscious category, and that it’s about physician mental health & the hidden curriculum & exposing & overcoming toxic secrecy culture & the terrible things young doctors go through, but also the *why* of it, and that someone saw all this in it & it meant something to them too, well, that means the world to me, and even as I constantly struggle to avoid the trap of the need for external validation, I am grateful 🙏🙏

To celebrate, my publisher agreed to discount the #kindle #ebook to $0.99 for a whole week!

I’m terrible at book promotion and would sure love to garner a few more reviews if you’re a reader who likes historical fiction, thrillers & suspense!

I also forgot to add hashtags to OP so adding here:

For decades, U.S. government policies and subsidies have supported the mass production and consumption of ultraprocessed foods.

A new report from the White House points to the prevalence of ultraprocessed foods in the American diet as a key contributor to chronic illness in children theconversation.com/maha-repor #Health #MedMastodon #Nutrition #News

Honored to be interviewed for this piece by The Economist on #burnout in #oncologists

They included a great infographic on physician burnout that you can link to through the article (the photo here is a screenshot of the first image in the infographic)

Burnout and the growing strains on cancer care. As America’s population ages and cancer cases rise, oncologists are facing unprecedented burnout

Incredibly, the same child came in today for the same injury: a paper cut to her (other) eye. Albeit a smaller, shallower scratch than last time. She said she was folding paper into a fidget, but could not explain how it attacked her (hmm, has she read The Girl Who Drank The Moon?). Spoke with teacher, who was not aware of injury at the time. Parents seem less unperturbed, and less flummoxed than I am. No history of self-injurious behavior. Perhaps they should get her to wear safety goggles. 👁️

👋oncologist here, popping on to say that stage 4 prostate cancer is not a death sentence, and there are generally well-tolerated treatments that can work well, in general, for years, just as in many other chronic diseases. Every time a celebrity or public figure is diagnosed with cancer, I observe my patients to panic over what is reported in the media. I hope the media will respect President Biden’s and his family’s privacy - he doesn’t owe an explanation of his medical situation to the media unless he wants to talk about it

#Phages (viruses that kill bacteria) are considered a potential approach to combat multidrug-resistant pathogens. However, they don't always deliver the desired results on their own. A research team at #CharitéBerlin has now demonstrated that combining phages with an antibiotic is much more effective, at least in the lab, against a form of #pneumonia caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria 💪👩‍🔬.
