So this is what I drew with the prompt “the language of medicine.” A heart translating devastating diagnoses into supportive words and phrases and disseminating them along with beauty and nature and grace.

Self administered Narcan is like self administered CPR. If you can actually do either to yourself, there is a pretty strong chance that you never needed it in the first place.

If I read one more piece of MEDICAL LITERATURE saying women have disproportionately poor outcomes from CVD because they “often present with atypical symptoms” of MI, I am going to LOSE IT. How you gonna SIT THERE and tell me it’s atypical when HALF THE POPULATION EXPERIENCES IT

Treatment of cancer is a cab ride not a train ride. Go as far as you want. When you feel like you’ve gone far enough, tell your oncologist to stop and let you off. Walk from there. Enjoy the remaining days of your one real life.

Most common negative stereotype in med school simulations - the ‘inexperienced, unhelpful nurse.’ Let’s give medical students realistic expectations and instill respect for their colleagues by portraying the the capable and competent nurse in their sim. #simed #smacc19 #SMACC – at Sydney, New South Wales

Have you ever portrayed a bad stereotype while teaching? The mean surgeon during a sim session? I know I have, but this is an awful reinforcement of the hidden curriculum. I'll try to be better. @SocraticEM #smacc

Good technology when used badly is just bad for learning 🤔 #SMACC @Inject_Orange @SocraticEM
The call to be more inclusive with active, not passive, actions. Thank you for the encouragement to be brave, and speak up #SMACC

Doctors can be just as scared and "irrational" when faced with death as their patients. Because funnily enough, doctors are human too... #SMACC @WhistlingDixie4

Incredible to hear not just about the practicalities of ECMO, but also to come face to face with the human experience through the story of someone who experienced it. Even with resilience and positivity, there are life long complications #SMACC @WhistlingDixie4

Sometimes with all the stress and chaos at work, I think we forget the basic tenet of being kind, and treating others with respect. #learnnotblame #SMACC

The #learnnotblame culture has to start with us not blaming our own colleagues or pointing fingers at other departments #SMACC @cianmcdermott

We cannot simply use CT as an excuse not to consider other causes of hypotension in trauma. Use your examination to look for physiological causes of hypotension as well as the anatomical. @LeechCaroline @smaccteam #smacc #FOAMed

If funds were allocated according to percentage of deaths caused by traffic accidents, gun violence, and terrorism, the graph would look like the blue one. In actuality? It looks like the tan one. The emotional brain is terrible at assessing risk. #SMACC
