Welcome to day 1 of my #30DaysOfWhatImCurrentlyReadingOrWriting. #1: Braun and Clarke Thematic Analysis: A practical guide. Had to start off this month with an absolute classic of a book that I finally decided to read.

Introducing #30ThingsImReadingOrWritingInSeptember I've very recently been getting the social media itch since I left twitter over a year ago. I miss my personal and professional community.

"By engaging in regular therapy & taking medication, my bipolar experiences convert into assets for patient care, not liabilities...Sometimes our darkest parts are also the most human. I have learned that life does not always end happily. Regardless, it’s okay." www.atsjournals.org/doi/10.34197...

When they go low we go #DEI

Medical regulation often talks about protecting the 'public', but we forget that providers are part of the public. Understanding disability more deeply could inform medical regulation. Please check out my latest in the Journal of Medical Regulation!! meridian.allenpress.com/jmr/article/...

They banned abortion & TikTok before assault weapons… THEY BANNED ABORTION & TIKTOK BEFORE ASSAULT WEAPONS.

Met a friend at ICRE 2024 & was excited to get to write about how he and I as queer men (& others) uphold the norms of the cisheteropatriarchy in ways that can limit diverse perspectives in medical education research. Check it out! #MedEdSky asmepublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Maybe controversial vent... My by far least favorite part of my job is interacting with doctors who hate their job and don't want to care for patients. I try to be empathetic to people who are overworked (and training is incredibly challenging) but also you decided to be in this profession.

In our latest episode of #SharedHumanity, Dean @meganranney.bsky.social answers the question, what is public health anyway? Dean Ranney and @nelbamg.bsky.social also discuss firearm injury as a public health issue and how they continue to find hope. Watch or listen at sph.yale.edu/SharedHumanity.

Re: United alleged shooter. All the articles are writing this beautiful "i'm just so shocked that someone as wealthy and as smart as him committed a crime". And it for me is both an unshocking and disturbing assessment of the false views we have on crime.

This is a horrible story of a doctor who did despicable things, but it is equally the story of a hospital who for over a decade knowingly let that person do said things because it helped their bottom line.

“I think I’m one of those lucky people who got to do for a living what I would have done anyway,” Van Dyke remarks in the clip, as scenes from his screen career play. “When you think how lucky I am – I got to do what I do, play and act silly." edition.cnn.com/2024/12/06/e...

I was off of the shall-not-be-named site for so long, I thought I would have so much to say. But in reality, I'm just happy for a new space and I hope it turns into something meaningful.

Time to find some of my #BipolarSky peeps :): ...Todays thought in therapy: Is a thought grandiose if it's true?? 😂😂 Serious question lol

Honey, stop what you're doing, new hyponatremia research just dropped! What's it say? It looks like slow correction is associated with worse outcomes, like death and length of stay! Was it just a small study? No, it was a meta-analysis of almost 12,000 patients! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

I think it's still early enough to do the greatest hits, so here's an updated version for 2024. Sorry if I satirized your life's work. Original by @xkcd.com. #Nephsky

I'm so incredibly proud to announce that I accepted a big boy job at UW Nephrology. It's a dream to serve the ppl of King County I'm even more proud of the imperfect & beautiful Justin that I've become on this journey called medicine.
