I don’t know who needs to hear this but doing the same thing “because we’ve always done it this way” is not a legitimate reason to keep a broken system in place.
Especially if the way “you’ve always done it”....
SUCKS.
- A message from the frontline for today’s “leaders”
✌🏾
I’m looking at you in particular healthcare c-suite/managers/supervisors or anyone in positions of power in healthcare orgs/med schools/residencies etc 👀👀👀
This stance is ubiquitous in healthcare. And it’s killing innovation.
Btw, prolly the people around you either don’t know anything about what I’m talking because they are equally as disconnected as you are OR they don’t feel safe enough to tell you ✌🏾
Either reality represents a complete failure of leadership 👀 🤷🏾♀️
We desperately need better leaders.
And don’t expect me to follow you off a cliff either because you don’t know how to lead.
Real talk.

BREAKING: Unsurprisingly, some fragile white male SNOWFLAKE members of the @AmerMedicalAssn, are highly triggered by the racial progress represented in the AMA’s strategic plan on health equity.
And now they are in the midst of a full blown tantrum 👀🙄
2/ The good news? The white supremacist element of the AMA has FINALLY showed their hands.
Spoiler: the issue is not just in JAMA leadership....
It’s everywhere.
These toxic ppl have control of our field and will fight to keep it at any cost.
...That’s what this tantrum is.
3/ Btw, we’ve seen what they’ve done with their control of Medicine to date:
Let Black and brown people die in droves without a PEEP... and exploited Black and brown healthcare workers and trainees for their own economic and sociopolitical gain.
Minding my own business shopping and a middle-aged white woman asked me if I work there.
When I looked at her blankly and answered back in a deadpan voice “no”, she giggled it off and said “I was just wondering where to put this shirt back”.
But I’m a bad person if I go off.
Kicking myself for not saying “I’m a physician” and letting her die of embarrassment.
But something tells me she wouldn’t even have the decency to be embarrassed.
