Appreciating “thank yous” and other signs of gratitude from pts can be restorative. These gifts can be a reminder of the privilege that we have in caring for pts. @gradydoctor.bsky.social #MedSky #Thanksgiving #Gratitude tinyurl.com/2s3wbzyj

A pt’s autism was missed for years after a clinician assumed his social struggles were “just part of being Muslim.” Include questions about faith & culture to better understand your pt’s lived experience. This may help to avoid stereotyping. @weselymd.bsky.social #MedSky tinyurl.com/3rv6ubts
