It seemed inevitable that we would begin to treat a mild respiratory infection (Omicron in low-risk vaccinated adults) like we treat the common cold. The key will be protecting patients and colleagues? https://t.co/bkNJSOfS1x
Prenatal genetic screening always requires thoughtful patient counseling and nuanced communication. I'm encouraged that @TheACMG and @EllenMatloff are correcting simplified @nytimes reporting in their letter to the editor https://t.co/7aVwQ2mLyk and in https://t.co/rUOB6TaAR3.
@HeyCurrent@hcittoday@sarahkrug1@MattSakumoto@DanYourk Empathy transcends the medium that use to communicate: be present, listen, validate, support. And be cognizant of when tech can become a barrier. Consider the phone when video is hard, and recruit friends and family to be patient advocates.
@BostonGlobe This is the chart that takes into account all of the COVID-positive patients who self-diagnose using home-based testing and never get a PCR (and make it into the official count).
@MFMSperling@neel_shah@Andrea37786547 @HaeriSina Strikes me that MFM is one of the most telehealth-friendly subspecialties:
1. Most common/useful procedure is ultrasound
2. Physical exam is rarely critical
3. Consultation to patient and provider can be provided remotely.
(Of course telehealth amnio/CVS won't work.)
@sarahkliff@nytimes@aatishb Respectfully, this isn't an 'investigation,' but rather, a crude meta-analysis of data others have already published. The problem you describe - the risk of a false-positive result - is part in all screening tests. OBGYNs counsel their patients about this every day. News?
@commonhealth The risk of dying of COVID must be orders of magnitude greater than the risk of a vaccine-associated clot. Is this message too complex to communicate?
Dredged out college calculus for the critically important task of predicting the time needed to get a bib in the 2021 @bostonmarathon. https://t.co/E3Px3o6Bdk Thanks to @ade3 for his advice.
Great interview with @BostonTweet about turning a passion for #running and social impact into two great organizations. @StrideForStride and https://t.co/gNh8aKFwVy. https://t.co/81ygUDRuYd
Giving myself a quarantine haircut using two mirrors to clip the back reminded me of learning to operate laparoscopically as a junior OBGYN resident (MUCH lower stakes, of course). Anyone else have that experience?
@kimidefreytas We surveyed 2,113 pregnant and postpartum women last weekend. Before COVID-19, 0.7% were planning a home birth; now 2.5% are planning that.
@100percentdoula Such an important point: childbirth education can be accomplished remotely (not ideal, but possible) and it's one more way doulas, physicians, and midwives can help women feel supported during this crazy time.
