Explained | The word ‘stroke’ was first introduced to medicine by William Cole in a 1689 essay entitled ‘A Physico-Medical Essay Concerning the Late Frequencies of Apoplexies’, writes Alok Kulkarni trib.al/YGQPm3L
There are 2 types of Parkinson's disease based on classical anatomy-clinical methods, the first is James Parkinson's shaking palsy and the second also described here is what I have called the other Parkinson's disease academic.oup.com/brain/article/…
There's no such thing as a self-made man or woman. No one succeeds without support. "I did it on my own" is a sign of insecurity and entitlement. Acknowledging help is a mark of confidence and humility. Giving credit to others doesn't undermine you. It elevates them.
Superb and infuriating piece by @UCSF colleague (& great writer) @LouiseAronson about how her mom's clear, documented wish to avoid aggressive care at the end of life was ignored by a medical team locked into a we-did-this-so-we-must-do-that spiral. @NEJM nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

A mark of emotional maturity is hearing disagreement without taking offense. Thoughtful dissent doesn't always mean you're wrong. It often means the issue is complex and your knowledge is incomplete. Good-faith debate isn't an attack. It's an opportunity to sharpen your ideas.

PRO TIP: if you’re a doctor stuck inside for the eclipse you can still experience 4 minutes of total darkness by scheduling a peer review call with a colleague outside your specialty who denies one of your patients the treatment they need
Confidence doesn't always come from believing in yourself today. It often stems from recalling the obstacles you overcame yesterday. A history of resilience can silence self-doubt. Challenges conquered are clues to hidden strengths. Past progress is proof of future potential.
If you have constructive feedback, it’s not rude to speak up. It's unkind to stay silent. Honesty is the highest form of flattery. It signals that you respect their ability to handle the truth. Don't deprive people of the opportunity to learn. Offering ideas is an act of care.
