1/ #UncleBob takes #5goodminutes to wax philosophically
I love Saturdays … but no #VMR today. During the pandemic #VMR has made a wonderful contribution to my sense of purpose & community. @CPSolvers @DxRxEdu @rabihmgeha @Sharminzi @ArsalanMedEd @haematognomist
2/ As many know, I am semi-retired - only work 3/8 at the VA as a ward attending. My wonderful colleagues have decided that because of my age (fortunately my only risk factor) that they will keep me off the wards for now.
3/ Those who know me will understand that my career highlights all involve ward attending. I am fortunate to have good health and the resources to stay away from the hospital without any major difficulty.
4/ I exercise every day, spend too much time on twitter, but I would not be as positive as I am without #VMR These sessions exercise my brain, allow me to pass on > 40 years of internal medicine learning. The wonderful learners & educators in the chat have all become important.
5/ Each day after I log in, I check the attendee list, seeing old favorites and new names. Each day I learn more internal medicine - at no time in your career should you stop striving to learn more.
6/ I might be physically distancing, but thanks to my #VMR pals, I am not socially distant. There is nothing more important to this old internist than learning and passing on things learnt. Only then are we prepared to best help our patients. Thanks for keeping me sharp.
7/ I can't wait to get back on the wards and help both patients and learners, but in the meantime thanks to everyone who attends #VMR for making me feel great!
