Reinhart: "What if ... occupational burnout is in fact ideological burnout driven by a growing awareness ... that neither our healthcare system nor our work inside of it are designed to provide care or to counteract the inequalities upon which disease preys?

Eugenics and American Fertility: Now andΒ Then The trump administration seems to think America has a birth rate that is too low. Basically, the idea is that in this country you just can't have enough babies born to White middle and upper middle income married couples.

On my way to #HRS2025. Looking forward to connecting with, learning from, and supporting colleagues in the important work of healthcare that saves and improves lives. Looking forward to the World Summit, genetics talks, and of course our postmortem talk on Sunday. @heartrhythmsociety.bsky.social
