@andywpoliver.bsky.socialThis is very good and very important work. #graphicmedicine
@drmaypole.bsky.socialMore paperwork, faster turnaround times, & emphasis on productivity doesn't always translate into better care #graphicmedicine
@drmaypole.bsky.socialIs "STRONG WORK" the best compliment one can receive in Medicine? How do others compare? #graphicmedicine
@drmaypole.bsky.socialGoing to the doctor can be tough
Some kids have anxiety
Some have sensory issues
Some on the #autism spectrum are overwhelmed
For some all of the above
In such times, it can be best to back up…and find a different way to get the day’s information.

Because of vomiting and abundant respiratory secretions for the past 15 days, her physician prescribed esomeprazole and metopimazine 8 days earlier.

@drmaypole.bsky.socialResults of a competition Vs a medical exam?
Words matter: It all depends on context. As here. #graphicmedicine

@drmaypole.bsky.socialPondering #MedSchool?
The journey is a long one. It's a mistake to think one can defer all of life’s offerings (friends, family, etc) until you get the “MD”. Living your life/being good to those who love and support you...choose THAT, whatever path you choose.

@drmaypole.bsky.socialWill #AI powered clinicians of the near future be able to capture the magic of human connection, and the magic of physician to patient handholding during times of illness? #graphicmedicine

@drmaypole.bsky.socialO, the alchemy of clinic scheduling. Most people keep their appointments & arrive on time(or close). THEN there are the hardcore no show-ers, those who fill up slots with appts made, changed, redone on the fly & cancelled even minutes before they are due. Those folks keep us-busy
