4/1/2022 Dr. Melissa Yuan-Innes matches up the 6 different human archetypes with what kind of doctors they make.
3/10/2022 An FP said to Dr. Melissa Yuan-Innes: 'I’m tired. I need two weeks to do nothing.' For doctors with kids, timing your time off with March Break is important but hasn't been so easy.
3/8/2022 Doctors are told not to speak up: “Stay in your lane,” commanded the NRA when trauma surgeons spoke up against gun violence.
2/15/2022 It was our sixth code in a week. This is unusually high at our small community hospital. Sometimes the ‘holes ’ lineup and things go very wrong.
2/4/2022 ‘I’m not going to sugarcoat this,’ says Dr. Melissa Yuan-Innes. ‘Medicine is the toughest I’ve seen right now. But I’m still grateful for it.’
2/1/2022 Anger keeps me sharp, reading up and asking questions, so I don’t make the same mistakes. But I worry about the personal cost.
1/10/2022 Medicine is one giant disconnect from the rest of the world—'cause we're awake when our friends and families are asleep. We're working when they're celebrating. But still, I can't help reflect on my life at New Year's.
12/14/2021 Inspired by some ideas from Denmark, I wonder if we can create little corners of happiness at our hospitals and clinics.
12/3/2021 I wish someone had told me that part of winning the long-term doctor game is social. The more friends you have—real friends, caring friends—the more likely you are to survive and even rejoice in a lifelong medical career.
11/11/2021 We're all stressed like never before. COVID, no work, too much work, no nurses, kids crying at home, no child care. Who wouldn't want a drink when we can't take a break?
10/15/2021 Being a physician can be really lonely, starting with the pre-med competition and continuing into residency and fellowship, and then practice. What’s the solution?
10/8/2021 Sometimes it's tough. Too many villagers! Too many other mayors calling me because their villages are overrun. Too many sick villagers. Not enough resources for my villagers. But this was a good week.
