This impressive study of >10 million young adults on active duty in US military strongly suggests that most cases of MS are *caused* by Epstein Barr Virus. Prior work has long suggested this, especially in if exposure is later rather than early in life.

Breaking News for my Project Syndicate column! It's on Djokovic and vaccination, so hard to keep up with what's happening, but the argument remains valid. https://t.co/PTlGEed4gl

In the past few years more and more physicians have reported experiencing feelings of burnout. This surgeon Well-Being Month we will share resources and tips to mitigate burnout and help improve overall well-being.

I think implicit bias training required in many workplaces is harmful: raising cynicism, wasting time, & increasing racism. A 2019 meta-analysis involving 492 studies showed procedures to change implicit bias have no effect on behavior. https://t.co/6Yl7XEy3Zv h/t @SteveStuWill

We often use "empathy" & "compassion" interchangeably, but they're different. We should connect with empathy & lead with compassion. Compassion means having a good understanding of what the other person is experiencing & a willingness to act: https://t.co/facvyoFQO8 V @harvardbiz

Being an introvert is not about where you get your energy. It's how you handle stimulation. Introverts are energized by people too. We’re just easily exhausted by loud parties, close talkers, and endless houseguests. I'm not antisocial. I'm pro-quiet. #worldintrovertday

"With a new wave of COVID upon us, we face this grim truth: You can’t surge a circuit that’s been burned out. For frontline providers, there’s simply no new fuse that can fix the fact that we’re fried," @Craig_A_Spencer writes:

In South Africa, we’re thankfully seeing a striking decoupling between new Covid cases and ICU admissions and deaths. Whether #Omicron is inherently less virulent, whether this hopeful finding is result of baseline immunity in infected, or a combination of both, is still unclear.

So when the hospital stops all living donor organ transplants, non emergent cancer surgeries, elective joint replacements, adolescent scoliosis surgeries, and anything else potentially requiring admission, tell me again how your decision not to get vaccinated affects only you.

When you fail to act in a prudent way when there is a serious contagious disease afoot, you place OTHERS at risk, including the health care workers you assume will be there to care for you.
