Unlearning Medicine’s Unhealthy ‘Hidden Curriculum’ Many doctors adopt damaging lifestyle ‘survival skills’ during residency and keep them for years. Here’s how to spot — and finally break — habits of self-neglect.

Media alert: My research on professional culture and physician burnout was just cited in this Medscape article about how medicine can be unhealthy for doctors: www.medscape.com/viewarticle/...

Peter Yarrow, the Peter of Peter, Paul and Mary, Dies at 86 The folk trio he formed with Noel Paul Stookey and Mary Travers became a pop phenomenon, scoring hits like “If I Had a Hammer” and “Puff the Magic Dragon.”

“His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain…” RIP Peter ♥️

Opinion | What Doctors Like Myself Know About Americans’ Health Care Anger (Gift Article) As a doctor, I’ve been on both sides of frustrating health care debacles.

Even Drs dont know how much healthcare costs—and it angers them too: “I should be able to tell my patient in the E.R. if his hospital stay will definitely be paid for. I know exactly how much of my dog’s care will be covered;why can’t I know the same for my patients?”

Anyone else feel like December is a prime writing month? The craziness of the semester subsides, campus becomes still, and suddenly, time opens up for all the writing that didn't/couldn't happen in the previous months. I love December.

Reminder: you don’t have to be good at something to enjoy it, you don’t have to get better at it, you don’t have to monetize it, and it doesn’t have to be useful.

2 weeks ago I woke up with tinnitus and hearing loss in my right ear

Saw ENT that day and diagnosed with acute sensorineural hearing loss

Prednisone 60 mg daily and my hearing is back to normal

If you wake up with acute hearing loss in one ear you should get it checked out asap
