How can we be silent about this? No matter how bad the situation in Hong Kong is, it is nothing compared to the sufferings of Uighur people, and yet Hong Kong people are too wrapped up in our own fight to care about the rest of the world.

If one of us is not free, then none of us are free.

Reminder to self: 

Do not ever call your colleagues when they are not on duty to question their clinical judgement. 

It is hell to be on the receiving ends of these phone calls. It ruins the entire day for them, too often it is all for nothing. 

Everything can either be managed by yourself, or can wait until the next working day when the said colleague has returned to work.

大是大非 豈能獨善其身

NEJM 好波

“Reasonable people will certainly disagree about the many political positions taken by candidates. But truth is neither liberal nor conservative. When it comes to the response to the largest public health crisis of our time, our current political leaders have demonstrated that they are dangerously incom- petent. We should not abet them and enable the deaths of thousands more Americans by allow- ing them to keep their jobs.” -NEJM

This has never happened before. This is huge.

If we know in what way society is unbalanced, we must do what we can to add weight to the lighter scale.
