10 Tips for increasing your academic productivity.
Tip #1: Be Open To Ideas
(and keep track of them).
Consider using your smartphone, a diary, a google doc, voice memos. Record all your ideas when they happen. You never know when your best idea will occur.

Tip #2: Know What's Known
Your literature review is your best friend for helping you join a scholarly conversation - but also it can be an opportunity for scholarship itself.

1/ Families #COVID19: @washingtonpost
With COVID our ICUs fell backwards in time. Consolidation of power within the medical team. Lack of visitation. It’s suppression of healing and it’s wrong.

2/ How do we bring patients and families (safely) into the very foreign world of the ICU with humility, integrity and purpose? How do we share the space?

3/ Episteme – a principled system of knowledge; scientific knowledge. How can we truly share what we know without family presence? How do we learn what they know?
In recent years have started to question the traditional approach to #narrativemedicine. Who owns a story? What lens is applied? I get it is seen as important for “joy of practice” to tell these stories as doctors. Except, these are actual lives and bodies of human beings.
As in, I don’t know the right answer but I also don’t think we are asking enough questions of ourselves, our profession, our peers, our professors/attendings.
Ours is a profession that labels

WOC in class had to point out to instructor: WOC characters were flat, one-dimensional, silent, passive

For “not sure who needs to hear this” trend
here is mine:
As a #SciComm doctor if:
-several nurses flag something
-POC/WOC bring up overt or implicit bias
and/or
-patients are concerned
Pause, listen, & self examine
Course correct
right thing to do

I listen *very* carefully to nurses
I went to a residency where I singlehandedly admitted 22 patients + crosscover as an intern, no night float. It was excellent nurses who were protecting patients & families, the institution, & me

To be anti-racist must “see” color
If have less melanin &
there is a lot more melanin in the side asking you to pause, consider, self examine
listen
If find yourself blocking POC of #MedTwitter, are you simply creating a new Jim Crow?

#NarrativeintheTimeofCorona
I saw this mask on the ground while taking a walk today in my neighborhood. For a moment, the wind on my face and my dog tugging against the leash had me thinking that things were back to normal.
But then I saw this.
A jolt back to reality.

How do I feel? I'm not sure.
We are all unique individuals whose feelings reflect the complexities of who we are. These are tough times in health care. When I don’t know how to feel, it helps me to write in first person through different perspectives.
Today I am doing that.

Afraid
I want to beat my chest and give a war cry. Swipe paint under my eyes and go running in fearless like the rest. I see my peers entering the middle of the coliseum glaring unapologetically at the enemy.
I wish I felt the same.
I do not.
What I am is afraid.

With my limited energy at the end of the day, I’ve chosen to share what I love with my kid.

We talked about
1. What he thought was happening in the painting?
2. What he saw that made him say that?
3. What more could he see?
And then he wrote a few sentences in the voice of one of the characters.
He saw the themes of “aloneness even together when they are close.” 2/

We got to talk about how it feels to be “trapped” without a clear way out, even for the one lady who seems to need medical help.
The #covid19 parallels were obvious and it opened a window for him to talk about it.
15 minutes total. #Artheals #medtwitter 3/
