Of all my publications, this may be the 1 I’m most proud of. It’s hard to describe the feeling of being a surgery attending & many don’t talk about the worry/anxiety. This is my attempt to normalize talking about it. Thx @AnnalsofSurgery for publishing! journals.lww.com/annalsofsur…

Happy New Year. My lovely Isabelle has sent a New Year's greeting. lizmitchellmusemd.com/post/i…

Isabelle's New Years Message

In 14 years as a doctor I’ve never known such horrific conditions. Patients dying on trolleys with zero dignity. Or screaming & moaning in corridors. Dickensian overcrowding, total implosion. Despair. Weeping staff. Abject misery. Do you care at all @Jeremy_Hunt? @SteveBarclay?

The #healthcare safety net can no longer support the needs of so many—heartbreaking for #patients & for @EmergencyDocs #nurses etc. We need reimagining, not piecemeal fixing, w patients at the center. bostonglobe.com/2022/11/05/m… @BostonGlobe @GlobeKayLazar

Rosa is one of the most knowledgeable and compassionate patient-centered clinicians that I have had the privilege of working with as an ED doc. The clinical knowledge that she shares in this article on caring for patients with SUD is worth reading. healthcity.bmc.org/populatio…
