Behind every smile is exhaustion.

Behind every 60-hour week, a longing for balance, support, just being heard.

Doctors listen to everyone, except the voice whispering, “I’m overwhelmed.”

🆘 Let’s start listening.
🛟 Let’s start by changing this.

Women physicians, physicians of color, and those in under-resourced or high-stress specialties experience burnout more often & severely.

➡️These aren’t stats - they’re signals.

Join us. Help us change this paradigm for ALL physicians:

My prayer today is that the hostages come home and no more blood is shed, or lives lost in #Israel. Please lift the trauma from their hearts and let them return to life. Amen 🙏🏼

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

5 Signs of Burnout To Watch For:

1. Constant Exhaustion
2. Emotional Detachment
3. Irritability & Frustration
4. Declining Performance
5. Loss of Joy

Taking time for your own mental health is essential to caring for others.

Half of all female physicians report burnout.

🆘 This is a silent crisis affecting mothers, daughters, colleagues and friends.

🤔 It’s a reflection of a toxic culture that demands more than it gives.

👉Please help us finish our important documentary 🎥.

Our country is a nation of immigrants. It’s the beauty of the tapestry called America.

I’m a proud 1st Gen, but can remember my Dad thinking of changing his name to something “more American.” I wear it proudly.

How sad is this? 😩😢😭 #immigration #life #chicago

In 1971, after the opening of the artist Lee Lozano's exhibition at the Whitney Museum, she undertook an audacious project, “Decide to Boycott Women,” stating her intention to stop speaking to other women. It ended up being a practice she continued throughout the rest of her life.
Lee Lozano Didn’t Speak to Other Women for 28 Years. What Did It Cost Her?
When it came to using her life in her work, the artist Lee Lozano went about as far as a person can go.

Burnout isn’t by accident—it’s baked into the US healthcare system. Productivity vs Humanity. Suck it Up vs Be Human.

The result? Exhausted clinicians, unsafe care, and loss of talented individuals every day. Join our fight for compassion: suckitupbuttercupfilm.com #MedSky #physicians #fmsky #emsky

The following is a quote from Ronald Reagan's 1967 Inaugural Address as Governor of the State of California. You should take every opportunity possible to remind every Republican of it, and how it conflicts entirely with the Conservative agenda of today.

notably, people with SMI (aggression aside) are both more likely to be uninsured and more likely to be "difficult" for staff compared to people who are lucid and likely to follow/understand the rules
Those same financial incentives may drive for-profit hospitals to turn away more complicated patients — such as those who are aggressive or violent while in the throes of a mental health crisis, Zhu added. In these situations, hospitals can save on staffing and other costs if they admit healthier patients and avoid patients with the most severe psychiatric needs — a tactic she called “cream-skimming.”

No parent should have to fear their child’s private medical records being weaponized. UPMC must protect trans kids’ privacy and fight these invasive subpoenas—just as other children’s hospitals have done.
Parents to UPMC: Tell us whether you’re giving our trans kids’ records to the feds
The Department of Justice subpoenaed records of “transgender medical procedures” provided to minors. Parents say UPMC “failed to communicate” with them.

Two dogs, different breeds, colors and political views. One has a clear advantage in size. But the smaller, older, and yes wiser one is providing lessons on how to get along. #dogsky
