Don't let work become a habit because you've forgotten how to live any other way. And don't judge colleagues who work less hard. The ultimate 'duty of care' is to yourself. Pinching myself to remember! @AcademicSurgery @ELAMProgram #WorkLifeBalance

Breastfeeding has benefits but pumping results in ⬇️productivity/pay. For MDs, a 30min lactation hold/half day clinic session for 1 yr from birthdate & 1.5 wRVU credit per hold will be provided. Similar for APPs. Thanks for lactation RVUs @UCSFHospitals & @UCSF! #WomenInSTEM

Today my father stood for the first time in several months. He is 92. No professional milestone will ever bring me the joy or gratitude I feel today. #MedTwitter #family #Grateful

The former me never thought this day would come: I've been invited to write a commentary & give a national talk about becoming dept chair as a member of the #LGBTQ community. We CAN (must) change culture & be visible. #MedTwitter @UCSFODO #DiversityandInclusion @OutSurgeons

Honoring my Dad on this #NationalLatinoPhysicianDay. He immigrated from Guatemala to Canada and then the U.S. and became a cardiologist, teacher, and role model. We need many more like him in medicine and surgery. #SiSePuede @UCSFODO #nationalLatinxPhysicianDay

What is the best news a daughter can get at the end of 2020? That the Moderna vaccine is coming to her 85/90 yr old parents’ retirement community and they are in line. Hallelujah!

Heard today: 'Women are over-mentored and under-sponsored.' That resonates. Let's celebrate #InternationalWomensDay with disruptive change, starting now. Nominate a woman colleague today. @WomenSurgeons #WomensDay #WomenInSTEM

Here’s a novel, long overdue concept: ⁦@UCSFSurgery⁩ Morbidity & Mortality conference replaced by Gratitude & Good Outcomes grand rounds. ‘G & G’ instead of M & M. Inspired & lifted up by the good work & courage of ⁦@UCSF⁩ colleagues! #ucsfproud

Two surgeons sitting by a patient’s bedside, one in scrubs & the other in a Surgery Dept jacket w/ name & degrees on the chest. Staff comes to draw blood & we ask what tests are included. He says ‘The one’s the doctor ordered. Are you nurses?’ 🤔 1/2

So, #burnout is extending to every level of medicine & surgery, including leadership. We expect our mentors & leaders to be teflon-coated heroes. But that's not the case. So please extend understanding & thanks up, down & around. #medtwitter

Last yr was exhausting. Being a surgeon & Chair is hard but doing it as an (only) daughter caring for aging, ill parents seems impossible. We MUST create a more supportive community, inventory/avail resources & provide paid eldercare leave. #MedTwitter jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…
