Hey #cancercommunity, I want to start a movement for us to share hope and inspiration. Im calling this #MyDifficultGift. To me, a difficult gift is a gift you never wanted to open, but one that surprisingly changes, motivates, and inspires you.

Some thoughts: humans are precious. But, if you’re going to protect the unborn child, you also need to protect that living child from dying in a school shooting a few years later. #gunviolence is a #publichealthemergency

Thankful for @umnneurosurgery for their incredible care and for sharing my story. To undergo a major invasive brain surgery and wake up with complete function and the ongoing ability to practice medicine myself is a gift I'll never take for granted!

Whenever I’m feeling like my tank for helping is empty (which, for an internist on round 1000+ of this pandemic, feels like a daily situation) this experience reminds me that compassion is endless. The more you give, the more you receive. The more you receive, the more you give.

Much of my inspiration in writing and medicine come from the teachings of Buddhism. @SharonSalzberg truly embodies the compassion she teaches. When this unknown author (me! 🙋♀️) emailed this NYT bestselling author with a request to look at her manuscript, she did! I was stunned
