“Routinely blaming mass shootings on mental illness is unfounded and stigmatizing. Research has shown that only a very small percentage of violent acts are committed by people who are diagnosed with, or in treatment for, mental illness.”
As our nation tries to process the unthinkable yet again, it is clearer than ever that we are facing a public health crisis of gun violence & we must focus on finding evidence-based solutions to address it.

So very true. Trainees and AP’s shouldn’t be expected to fill gaps in services. Time given to nurture and develop talent will result in a well balanced and competent colleague.
COGNITIVE OVERLOAD : when a trainee is learning a new technique, they will reach saturation point much sooner than their experienced trainer
Add in the pressure of being watched/assessed & overload can occur even sooner.
Encouragement, patience & a short break work wonders

as part of a

Love this.
I’ve no doubt when we have passed through the current crisis, more and more stories about the greatness of humanity will emerge.
Acts of kimdness like this will see us through.

In Spain, a taxi driver was known for taking patients to the hospital, free of charge.
One day, he got a call to pickup a patient from the hospital.
When he arrived, doctors and nurses surprised him with a standing ovation, plus an envelope of money. 🇪🇸🚕

Hi Vicky, was such a huge pleasure to meet you guys, not to mention the massive honor to give you both the

presidential citation. Can’t see my twitter BG changing 😊
Catherine is a huge hero of mine, especially as someone who started out in a place like Tuam.
Catherine Corless is an amazing woman who does what she does purely out of compassion.
She is a voice for the voiceless and a beacon of truth and I truly hope that, in the Afterlife, she meets the Tuam babies who she gave voice to ❤

Always wary of anyone labeled or worse self labeled as an expert. I have found this leads to entrenched ideas and a resistance to being incorrect. Sure I’ve expertise, but this allows me to recognize what I know or don’t, and keeps me open to learning from when I get it wrong.

how apt the idea of the bystander effect is when considering modern psychology. Far too many people aware of problematic behavior in the psychology profession but very few speak out. Always consider

code of ethics when we act or not
