Hiking along a trail in a valley south of Yarramalong on the Great North Walk in New South Wales, Australia
Good on you. As an avid hiker I know how much training etc is required to get over a far lesser injury so that you can get back on the trail.
"Hard work doesn't always lead to success. Good systems do" This is just one of many excellent points being made in the featured manuscript in the below post. This is really worth a read regardless of one's clinical interests

It's really striking if you have inactive accounts on other social media platforms just how much AI slop and algorithmic junk there is on the main timeline now.

I agree with how this impacts the career trajectory (in more ways than one-including gaslighting and blackballing tactics being deployed along with retaliation if the woman puts in a formal complaint).

FYI this thread (& the accompanying comments), wrt sexual harassment in the workplace, which sums up the underlying dynamics well
FYI this survey which is aimed at members of the #globalsurgery and surgical outreach communities of practice
Bar graph: Adjusted Shares of Turnover by Burnout Status. Turnover (%) is charted for 'Overall', 'Leave practice', and 'Move practice'. In all cases, the 'Burned out' share is higher than 'Not burned out'.
A national analysis linking US board-certified family physician survey responses with Medicare data found that self-reported #burnout was associated with significantly higher rates of physician turnover, including both changing practices & leaving practice.

Sure, implicit biases can potentially translate into poor behaviors/interactions in the OT in any country but how these might manifest in practice has a lot to do with other factors within the organization (other workplace stressors/leadership/rosters).
Lot's of confounding factors here, including the nature of the questions being asked as well as the demographics of the study participants.
It is really worth 10 minutes of ones time spent reading this article "In some cases peptides have been linked to harms" .......

Just like on earth, if the toilet is not working then this creates problems....... (and other solutions have to be deployed as per the comments)!
#Artemis II - Dr Lori Glaze, who leads development & operations, reminds us this mission is still a test flight & that NASA "continues to get lots of new data every day"
She adds that they are "not tracking anything"of concern right now and "intend to learn as much as we can" about the spacecraft.
Bingo, aided by the journalists who wanted to spin the story such that it would not be too offensive to the relevant subgroups amongst the readership!
