Top 10 words associated with uncertainty in medicine: fear, uncomfortable, humility, curiosity, confusion, everywhere, hope, lack of control, burnout, communication... Learn more about our project on "uncertainty," including opportunities to tell your story, at the link below. ☁️

We surveyed 137 clinicians/patients about "Uncertainty and Medicine" and these are the words that came up most. We're seeking uncertainty stories, and offering FREE storytelling workshops on the topic, including one this Thursday 2/15. More here: thenocturnists.com/uncertain… #medx

I still remember when I first read @rachel_kowalsky's short story "The Delivery Boy," which blew me away with its wit, language, and sense of enchantment. I highly recommend checking out her work, and this fun conversation I had with her on @thenocturnists 🌻 #medx

Plenty of mystery and midwestern flavor in this story, the last from our Minneapolis show, by physician @AugieLindmark #medx

When Dr. Augie Lindmark first started receiving obituaries in the mailbox, he wasn’t sure whether to be amused or afraid. But soon he discovers the identity of the sender, and enters into a rare an unexpected dialogue about aging and mortality. 🎧: shorturl.at/cjNX0 #medx

The "miracle of birth" opening, the family portrait, all building to a peak moment of emotional paradox — only to be interrupted by a voice behind the curtain. Every word of this story was necessary. Transcendent. #medx #medtwitter

Med-peds physician Tiffany Albrecht jumped into “doing” mode when her husband died – she ran a 5K, cleaned out her closet, and went on a hike. But when her son was finally born, she was overcome by a cathartic wave of emotions. Take a listen: shorturl.at/cfGIR #medx
