One of the best means of self care is music that is groovy, hip, slick and cool. Arguably The Band is at the top of the list. I dare you to not at least tap a toe or crack a small smile if you dare to push play! open.spotify.com/track/64UtYR...

Contingency Management is one of the most underutilized interventions for addiction, yet one of the most effective for folks with methamphetamine use. SAMHSA just announced⬆️to $750/yr from$75. Game changer! 🙏SAMHSA #UNMCAddictionMed @unmcpsychiatry.bsky.social library.samhsa.gov/sites/defaul...

The sacrifices of medicine are no match for the suffering of humans that you will soothe. I am confident that your family are very proud of you for the fact that you chose to be a healer. Suffering does not watch the clock or calendar. Know that you are respected and admired for those sacrifices!

Happy 84th birthday to Anthony Fauci
