When I ask patients about their religious communities, I learn something important about what and whom my patients love and where they find hope, even in the hard situations when love has been betrayed and hope seems distant. And in doing so, I am grateful for the trust that we build together.

Ok so yeah, this has quickly become the #1 misunderstanding about the canceled grants the grants are not “subsidies” or “entitlements” to Harvard or Princeton or whatever they aren’t going into universities’ endowments they are competitive contracts won by these universities to do research

As a VA psychiatrist, I received the "Fork in the Road" e-mail yesterday. I have no intention to resign and expect that this is true of a vast majority of my colleagues, as we are committed to serving veterans well . . . (1/2)

Thank you @warrenkinghorn.bsky.social & Dr. Swinton for your insightful commentary at the panel tonight! “Jesus didn’t friend those on the margins. Because when God sits down the margins shift.” Dr. Swinton

This is a lovely and loving obituary that describes the Richard Hays that I knew as my teacher and, later, my dean and senior colleague. Thank you, @weshill.bsky.social

"It didn’t help that 'the people making the decisions'—about treatment plans, privileges, discharge dates—'were all white.'" This article makes me pause anytime I'm giving a diagnosis of a psychotic disorder, and really listen to the experiences of my patients: www.nytimes.com/2024/12/03/m...
