Rx: Invitations

I write prescriptions all day. These ones are for us.

Small, free, and small enough to fit inside a real shift.

Offered, never ordered. Take what serves you. Leave the rest.

These are reflective invitations for healthcare workers, not medical advice or treatment. If you are struggling, please reach out to your own doctor or your physician health program.
