The MedSTAR Transport helicopters on a cold, blustery day on the helipad at @MedStarWHC. Even days like these, our air transport team goes where they are needed to transport patients to and from MedStar Health facilities throughout the region. Thank you for all that you do!

The ‘sunk cost’ viewpoint is insightful! TY.
Public service announcement: You don't have a moral obligation to finish every book you start.
Stopping doesn't mean you lack grit. It means you have the wisdom to let go of sunk costs.
Reading is for entertainment and education. If it doesn’t bring joy or insight, move on.

Recent headlines about #EM have been depressing, with articles about burnout, disrespect from admin, & #EPs fleeing #emergencymedicine.
But @joelleborhart says she still loves and feels optimistic about the specialty. tinyurl.com/4f6ry683
Essential information for leaders and non-leaders alike.
When leaders fail to explain why they rejected suggestions, we stop making them.
Good explanations do more than give reasons. They express respect.
We don't have to get our way to appreciate having a say. Showing care makes us feel valued—and motivates us to speak up again.

Absolutely!
Introverts don't dislike people. They spend plenty of time with others—and enjoy it as much as extraverts.
They just seek different kinds of interaction. Extraverts are energized in rooms full of strangers. Introverts prefer small groups of familiar faces.
