Fi ally listened to @ZDoggMD on @ETSshow podcast.
Expected to be entertained, & I was.
Did not expect to be so inspired! They discuss the value of being vulnerable with ourselves, one another, & our Pts.
Hilarious episode & powerful messages!

After a 72 hr break from processing e-mail, (just deleting garbage via my phone) I'm committed to catching up today.
In box currently at 66, most in need of something.

Here we go!
Quick and quality piece with 10 best practices to avoid malpractice problems. My favorites are 1 & 3: minimize copy-paste & shorten notes.

Already incorporated into #UKHMT
& probably widely applicable.

What a great honor from @SocietyHospMed.
Awesome work along with @romilchadha & @wclippertMD.
The impact of #TWDFNR is massive and I'm proud to be part of it!

Working Christmas & NY to finish out 2019.
Some think non-traditional shifts (nights, wknds, holidays) contribute to HM burnout.
Maybe.
But these shifts are *PURE* Pt care & offer time to connect more deeply with Pts. They can be quite re-energizing!
Happy New Year #medtwitter!
New pet peeve: the dominos of PO iron (which I believe is mostly worthless):
PO iron is started.
Plus laxatives (b/c it's super constipating).
Plus ascorbic acid (to acidify gut).
In spite of the PPI/H2B they're also taking.
Then my head explodes 🤯

After walking out a room on rounds the other day, my med student said to the other med student
"Wow. This is the first time patients have really seen ME as their doctor "
And she absolutely made my day.

How do you ensure there's time for teaching on rounds? Check out this month's Leadership & Professional Development article: ow.ly/oH9E50x48Ze via @AlanHall_UKHM #VisualAbstract
My commute this AM had the normal stuff (horses, cows, beautiful pastures, green grass) plus this awesome cotton candy sky.

More time with patients, less time on EHR! @AmerMedicalAssn worked with @CMSGov & convened coalition of 170 med societies to simplify requirements and make them clinically relevant. No more counting elements for Hx, ROS, & Exam starting in 2021! Simpler, cleaner notes.
A major overhaul in evaluation and management (E/M) office visit codes—the first in more than 25 years—has the potential to significantly reduce documentation burden and provide physicians with more time with patients. spr.ly/60111KRPX
Short & awesome article about the massive impact of seemingly small changes (eg, emergence of the word "provider") & how they impact physician visibility and joy.

Burnout is a complex problem requiring innovative system level solutions. There is a moral and financial imperative to fix the problem! washingtonpost.com/health/20… @theNAMedicine
Busy but fun day on gen med consults! Lots of services calling us for a wide range of probs (Afib, AKI, HF, cirrhosis, hypoxia, etc).
I'm convinced it's b/c we offer better customer service than many organ-based services.
No yelling or shaming, just learning & helping!
Dr. Sean Lockwood from Lexington VAMC teaching us how to be better at clinical vignettes in @UKHospitalists Grand Rounds.
High emphasis on relationship and [of course] aggressive editting.
Great content (adapted from #UKHMT) and perfect timing.
Congratulations to our 2019 @InternalUk graduating residents for rocking a 100% ABIM pass rate!
Well done! 🎉🎈🌞
