β€’ Now a new beginning with the creation of Medical Staff Wellness Committee

Some key moments in the development:

Work in clinician well-being has been going on throughout the system for some time, but this represents a new collective effort.

I hope it will inspire physicians, advanced practice providers, and administrative leaders across the system to think about well-being as "everyone's job."

This new committee will have representatives from across the system, representing every hospital, clinics, including employed clinicians, and those who are affiliated by practice.

Influencers made millions pushing β€˜wild’ births – now the Free Birth Society is linked to baby deaths around the world A year-long investigation reveals how mothers lost children after being radicalised by uplifting podcast tales of births without midwives or doctors As Esau Lopez was asphyxiated for the first 17 minutes of his life on Earth, the atmosphere in the room remained serene, even ecstatic. Acoustic music crooned from a speaker in a modest two-bedroom apartment in a suburb of Pennsylvania. β€œYou are a queen,” murmured one of three friends in the room. Only Esau’s mother, Gabrielle Lopez, felt something was wrong. She was pushing hard, but her son would not be born. β€œCan you help [him] out?” she asked, as Esau crowned. β€œBaby is coming,” the friend replied.

No comparison. When Biden so much as tripped, it was a week-long story. When Trump has no idea where he is and drifts off mid-eventβ€” media silence.

This isn’t the first time. What’s up?!
