Because widespread vaccine compliance is a community solution to a communal problem — not an individual solution to an individual weakness — we ought to remember how devastating our 19th-century ancestors found it to face a 40-50% child mortality rate. (ICYMI, I wrote about this earlier this week.)
Infectious diseases killed Victorian children at alarming rates — their novels highlight the fragility of public health today
Between 40% and 50% of children didn’t live past 5 in the US during the 19th century. Popular authors like Charles Dickens documented the common but no less gutting grief of losing a child.

My 4th year med students (not painters), painted themselves as clowns (Patch Adams inspired).
Here are some of the results. No painting experience & completed in 8 hours. I mean - I may have to let them start teaching me. 🤡

Got it! So the name of the game is being an active member of the community #medsky #meded #narrativemedicine #medicalhumanities
Another tip for Bluesky newbies - no, it's not as fast-paced here, immediate engagement - here, YOU are the algorithm so you need to engage! Post, comment, re-post others, follow lots to start with - engagement is the key to traction and interaction here. Be proactive, not passive. Well worth it!
