Thank you! I completely agree. We have strayed from our roots. As physicians we cannot solve societal ills, we do not have the tools, we are ill equipped and frankly it distracts us from our core mission.

It is so so depressing to me to see the young physician given an impossible task of prioritizing "inclusion and diversity" in our work. Our work is healing of the individual, not reconstruction of the social structure. We are so mislead about health care "inequity" to focus only on color of skin when the real inequity has a lot more to do with physicians not wanting to stray from their academic and urban and 'safe' like-thinking institutions to take care of the neglected in the rest of the country (or even world).
