Wednesday: When asked about incorrect data on VA hospital leadership replacement, VA Undersecretary for Health David Shulkin responded: “We tend to use lots of numbers and that can be confusing, and what I’m trying to do is simplify the message, so here’s my message: I need help,” Shulkin said. “I need the right leaders to come in and to take these positions of responsibility on behalf of the country, and I don’t care if it’s 90%, 80%, or 60%. I know I have openings and I don’t have the applicants.”

Thursday: Article on living with depression. “For years I believed that I had to surmount my depression, to overcome it, to wrestle it into submission so that I could be normal. The diagnosis has allowed me to accept that “normal” may just mean being able to engage with my loved ones and my work. “Normal” means knowing I have a chronic illness and treating it so that I can do the things that make me content.”
