Got a haircut yesterday and had an interesting conversation about anti-fatigue mats with my hair stylist. When I told her we didn’t routinely have them in the OR, she balked “that doesn’t make sense” and proceeded to tell me how they are taught to hold shears to avoid hand injury

Let’s be 100% clear. If Republicans win control of the House, Senate and White House two years from now, they will pass a national abortion ban. And no matter where you live, no matter how pro-choice your state is, women and doctors will be locked up for practicing health care.

What is there to even say when one Hospital shooting, overshadows another. And when you can’t even protect the healthcare professionals that are delivering care to others — then what? #NursesForGunSafety #DoctorsForGunSafety

Tonight we are heartbroken. @OrthoAtYale @YNHH 1996 Alumnus Dr. Preston Phillips was literally targeted and executed by a disgruntled patient in the recent mass shooting in Tulsa. Profoundly unsettling. May he and the other victims Rest In Peace. #EndGunViolenceNow
