Outdoor lending library from Puerto Rico
Another lending library spotting.......
On a random street in beautiful San Juan, Puerto Rico, there were a bunch of crates filled with books, set up right on the sidewalk outside! It was almost an entire block; many people were browsing their next read. So happy to see this! #Medsky #Booksky
A patient once asked me, “If you’re worried about an infection in my brain, why are you going to stick a needle in my back?” The brain and spinal cord sit in a sac of fluid, which can get infected. A lumbar puncture helps us analyze this fluid. Check out pg. 100 of my book, Diagnosketch! #MedSky

For 10+ years, I've run a Med Humanities Club, where doctors/nurses have read and discussed 80+ books about medicine. The discussions have taught me more about the human experience—more than any medical textbook. It's been one of the most valuable parts of my career. Need recs? #Medsky #Booksky

Recently, a patient pulled up her X-ray report on her phone. "Doc, it says here that I have degenerative joint disease! That’s serious, right?"......
Medical jargon sounds intimidating--that's why I create simple illustrations—for a non-medical audience.

Old-fashioned telephone booth repurposed into a modern-day 'lending library' in Cologne, Germany
My 16-year-old daughter is studying abroad in Cologne, Germany. She sent me this pic. It's an old-fashioned telephone booth repurposed into a modern-day 'lending library.' As a book lover, this put a smile on my face. A reminder of how creativity can bring new life to old things! #Medsky #Booksky

In 2016, I was in rural Nepal to help a new hospital. I heard avocados (not common) sell well in KTM, esp to tourists. I met a farmer w/ an avocado tree and asked if we could plant a sapling at the hospital. Maybe it could help? Today, the staff sent me a photo of the tree, now ready to bear fruit.💚
