@JeffSiracuse It is also a reminder that we should be thoughtful about what we publish in our journals and the conclusions we draw from them. It’s out there for potential peers, employers and patients to criticize and judge.

@NYGovCuomo Also these Med students didn’t all match in New York - who is training them, covering their malpractice and paying them? Residents don’t even have a full license to practice medicine. They are supervised. Med students are a precious resource that need to be protected.

Work life balance - just the tip of the iceberg. Burn out largely comes from being under appreciated & undervalued. This can manifest as unequal pay or treatment. The often unrecognized burdens women have on top of this doesn’t help

Medicine is a team sport. Public criticism (yes Twitter is public and forever), name calling & harassment in this forum is unprofessional especially by physician. It reveals so much more about the character of a person than that which they are criticizing. What an embarrassment.
