1/ TW: Suicide

September is #WomeninMedicine and #SuicidePreventionAwarenessMonth. Female physicians continue to have a significantly higher suicide completion rate than the general population.

2/ One of the first steps toward ⬇️this is eliminating the #shame culture in medicine that keeps so many people suffering in silence when they experience #depression.
3/ Last month, I shared my story of #depression and passive thoughts of suicide during my Grand Rounds. I expected people to relate, but I didn't expect a trainee to share that their #WomeninMedicine trainee friend had died by suicide two days earlier.

I've been barred by Twitter from sharing this protest anymore.
Every time I try and post it won't share whether as a post or in comments.
So I'm asking for your help 🙏
It would be a favor to me, if my followers and others shared this wildly.
This is what happens when I try.. Image
Well I can retweet the old post but not share new post. I'll take what I can get...lol

The stress and uncertainty we’re all experiencing right now aren't easy, and there’s no shame in saying the measures we’re taking to prevent the spread of #COVID19 can be painful. Financial stress, health concerns & isolation are difficult & may leave us feeling helpless.
Physically distancing ourselves doesn’t have to mean we’re socially isolated – connecting with friends & loved ones is more important than ever right now – and it’s important we all #BeThere for ourselves and one another.
If you or someone you know is struggling to cope, you can get help by privately accessing online resources, and calling or texting expert professionals: suicidepreventionlifeline.org

An average of 20 veterans commit suicide every day.

Every day.

#WorldMentalHealthDay
At least 5,500 veterans have died by suicide so far in 2018. That’s just this year.

Good night.

Tomorrow we march.

Days like these it's hard to feel joy in anything I know.

As we teeter on the edge of oblivion the right seeks to push us over that edge, while certain elements of the far left claim there is no edge at all; that we are imagining everything.

Even as we learn about the details of #AnthonyKennedy's betrayal, and Trump tweets a photo of himself with Clarence Thomas, calling him a friend, they refuse to thread the needle.

Of course this was all planned.

Of course it was.

We must be clear in that knowledge.

2/
I've often said here that nothing that's happened on the national stage or behind the scenes since at least March of 2014 has been a coincidence. Or even a surprise if you've watched closely enough, for long enough.

And I have.

But cometh November & cometh Mueller
