Massachusetts reported zero Covid-19 deaths on June 30 for the first time since 3/19. But are we missing some still dying from #covid19? Probably yes. I explain in this article. seattletimes.com/opinion/tes… @mbebinger @WBUR @NPRHealth @BostonGlobe @Priyanka_Dayal

How much do hospitals receive from the government to train residents?
It depends. There are multiple funding streams and the formulae are complicated.
But here, a consulting firm did the math...
…and estimated that, in 2019, the average Medicare subsidy was $145,435/resident.

“I don’t have time” is a poor excuse for treating people poorly. No one is too busy to be kind.
Managers who can't find a minute to be civil shouldn't be managing people. Making your team feel valued is core to the job.
It's always worth your time to show you care about others.
And a new chief reign begins @CHA_IMResidency. Couldn’t wish for a better co-chief than @shasty1987!

Senator Lana Theis accused me by name of grooming and sexualizing children in an attempt to marginalize me for standing up against her marginalizing the LGBTQ community...in a fundraising email, for herself.
Hate wins when people like me stand by and let it happen. I won't.
I finally met one of my biggest role models for teaching and just being a good human being, Reza @DxRxEdu Thank you for sharing your professional and life advice. @rabihmgeha @Gurpreet2015 @CPSolvers #AIMW22
Scary to think about what was standing between us and nuclear war. I salute you, Music Man!
Paragraph I did not expect to read this morning: "Mr. Trump’s handlers designated an unnamed White House official known as the 'Music Man' to play him his favorite show tunes, including 'Memory' from 'Cats,' to pull him from the brink of rage." nyti.ms/2WmcBow

Resident physicians aren’t being offered a fair wage despite @Challiance receiving $47.5 million in #COVID19 relief funds cambridgeday.com/2020/05/29/… @NPRHealth @mbebinger @WBUR @BostonGlobe @GlobeOpinion @MayorSiddiqui @JoeCurtatone @wbz @WCVB @DrMikeStanton
I and other @cirseiu resident physicians showed up every day to work on the front lines of a global pandemic, up to 80 hrs per wk. Now @challiance is thanking us with a wage offer that doesn’t even keep up with inflation. We need a #FairContractCHA! Please retweet
ALT CHA residents need a fair contract now! A best workplace award doesn’t mean much while CHA is refusing to pay us what we need!

Medicine is the only profession where when the canary in the coal mine dies, leaders just say:
"Why can't we find more resilient canaries?"
