Great for video reviews!
For #Balint case reviews - consider focusing on the actual presentation, which is the real "history". @AmericanBalint @KPSDFMR @BalintSocietyUK @BalintAustNZ

"The face is ethically compelling because there are an infinite number of possible responses...When we are in proximity with a patient, his or her face engages us, not metaphorically, but uniquely. It opens us to them." @JenniferEdgoose @AmericanBalint @KPSDFMR

Some folks are a bit confused about why things are likely to be much safer in a month than now – not why virus will peak & fall (we don’t entirely know) but why the risk to individuals will plummet – & with that, why activities that are unsafe now will be much safer then.(1/20🧵)

This beautiful essay by the incomparable #writer @JBaruchMD expresses the heart & soul of #Balint groups. An exploration of the complicated emotional terrain #physicians commit to encountering with patients, of the psychological aspects of medicine as a #moral profession #MedEd
Opinion: We humans are beautifully flawed creatures with inexplicable needs and impulses that run counter to our best interests. buff.ly/3DoAmgj
