In February, Adriana Smith passed away. Though her heart still beat, her brain no longer functioned — an unfortunate state called brain death.
Despite her family’s wishes, Georgia’s ambiguous state law convinced Emory University it had to keep Adriana’s body on machines until her child is born.

Every year, up to 50,000 Americans pass away because they lacked access to healthcare.
So, we can take fluoride out of the water and ban synthetic dyes in our food, but until #MAHA works to guarantee lifesaving primary care for everyone, we will never Make America Healthy Again.

We never really know what others are feeling or facing, so choose kindness whenever you can.
It’s not always easy and none of us are perfect — myself included — but those sincere moments of humanity can truly help to change lives.

Sometimes, it takes a moment like this to remember why healthcare is both and art and science.
Since 2010, I’ve learned that some of the most powerful medicine we can offer anyone is compassion.
P.S. The olive oil was also a gift from this lovely family. The snacks already got eaten 😊

5 years ago, this hallway was packed with patients. Just outside, their loved ones would anxiously wait for news. Too many would end up leaving with regrets and broken hearts.
Today, I’m grateful for all the good people that did the best they could under impossible circumstances.

My coworker’s water bottle reminds me that we are often our own worst critics. So, try to show yourself some grace and don’t judge yourself too harshly.
This lesson may be difficult for many — myself included — but it can be truly liberating.

Every year, over two million babies pass away.
From wars to disease, they may be Sudanese, Haitian, Ukrainian, Palestinian, Israeli, or American, but they’re all innocents who deserved life.
In their memory, we must stand up for peace, justice, and healthcare — it’s the least we can do.

Years ago, we cared for a man who believed the color of his skin made him better than everyone else. As if by fate, it was a Black woman — an immigrant who had overcome so much to become an American surgeon — that saved his life.
Today, some might call her a DEI hire…

Just a little pal for our patient who has been missing her best fluffy friend. Despite all the technology we have in the ICU, sometimes it’s the simple things that make the most difference at the end 🌅.

Afraid of crushing medical debt, a young man nearly died by avoiding the hospital until it was almost too late.
Today, 30 million Americans still can’t afford health insurance. So, please help the #AmericanNursesAssocation reform Medicaid to ensure that every American has access to lifesaving care.

In the 1950s, American citizens were targeted if even suspected of being communists.
Today, Americans are being detained and potentially deported for looking different or speaking out differently. No matter anyone’s views, we all deserve the rights to life, liberty, and — at least — a fair trial.

In the 1950s, American citizens were caught up in the Red Scare — even “I Love Lucy” star Lucille Ball. Our nation’s leaders targeted folks even if there was only a suspicion that they had been communists.

Don’t undervalue how much voters appreciate those who genuinely give a damn, are willing to fight for their people, and take the “service” part of public service seriously.

Years ago, I saw this cemented into the sidewalk at a base that supported both American and Canadian service members.
Today, we should remember to be better “Partners in Peace” — not only for us, but for the world.

In 1965, my mom turned 18 and the Voting Rights Act finally gave all women the right to vote. 3 years later they cast their first ballots for president.
Today, during #WomensHistoryMonth, this story reminds us that we’ve come so far, but the journey towards justice continues.

Propaganda is destroying America.
In the hospital, we use the best data — even if it’s imperfect — to help others and save lives. The same should be true everywhere else.
We must check ourselves with evidence and consider the experience of experts. Anything less hurts us all.

Today, an unvaccinated child in Texas died from the Measles — America’s first death in ten years. The outbreak continues to spread.
Despite increasing health crises, the new federal budget cuts nearly $1 trillion in healthcare and food stamps for 80 million Americans.

As health workers, we are uniquely prepared to advocate for our patients -- not just at the bedside, but also in city halls, state capitals, and in DC.
For policy makers, the stories of those who care for others must inform how we fix the system that has left millions behind for decades.

On this #WayBackWednesday, I want to uplift the importance of facts, data, and truth.
In 2021, this was when a group of us met with Dr. Vivek Murthy — then the U.S. Surgeon General — to discuss the humanity behind the headlines. During the pandemic, every statistic represented a grieving family.

The deadly attack at a Pennsylvania hospital over the weekend is a reminder that our system is broken. Nothing excuses what that murderer did. Still, we must recognize how we got here.
Every year, nearly 230,000 Americans die because they are either facing poverty or lack access to healthcare.

For many, parents are the foundation of every child’s world.
For my mom and dad, I was never a well-behaved child and I certainly didn’t make raising me easy. But, thanks to Cyber Health Podcast, this walk down memory lane reminded me that parents are often the first and best parts of our lives.
