Critical care clinicians & medical humanities?? Humanities may impact personal/collective resilience and well-being by facilitating creation, reflection and meaning-making of challenging clinical work and building strong bonds between colleagues.

As a pediatrician I'm horrified at the built-in trampolines but otherwise agree with Copenhagen as a model for us all 😉
17 Aug 2023
In Copenhagen, like in so many great European cities, it’s a joy to simply wander and be inspired by the different ways a city can be designed for its people.
Rather than parking spots, why not have a harbor promenade with built-in trampolines for the populace? It can be done!

Useful link to track Toronto's air quality health index: weather.gc.ca/airquality/pag… (and a good article on protecting your health, including use of N95 when applicable for the particulate matter factored into the index: cbc.ca/news/science/wildfire…)

Another reminder that healthcare as a whole is very much a novice learner rather than a leader in equity, diversity, and inclusion

ATS: we see you. We see that you have failed to acknowledge that organizing conferences in certain states with restrictions relating to reproductive health will exclude members whose well-being is imperilled. You can't fix "feelings of abandonment" with actual abandonment.
