Andrew M. Faulk, M.D.

Author of My Epidemic, an AIDS memoir of one man’s struggle as doctor, patient & survivor.

[Andrew M. Faulk, M.D. @AndrewMFaulkMD]

I am infected with HIV and my lifespan shortened, but my invaluable training was in the HIV wards of San Francisco themselves. Physicians have a special duty in times of crisis: I ran into the burning house, not away from it. #aids #aidsresource #aids2020 #hiv

In our efforts to connect with people, our most powerful tool is empathy and my life story and my own HIV status, while undisclosed, gave me an empathy which translate into an ease in achieving that all important connectedness.

My colleagues could depend on my ability to treat people medically and emotionally at the very worst moments of their lives.

We had a reputation for treating AIDS patients well-not just from a cutting edge, up-to-the-minute scientific perspective, but also from a psychological/ emotional point of view.

My insecurities made me a detail man, and thus good for those patients whose medical complexity was escalating or those whose illness was sufficiently serious to require hospitalization.

The day before he died he asked me what drug we would use next. As a doctor I said nothing, as a husband I told the lie that there was yet another option. There was no remaining treatment. #aids #aidsresource #aids2020 #hiv

I spent much of my professional energies helping others work through their denial. #aids #aidsresource #aids2020 #hiv

[Andrew M. Faulk, M.D. @AndrewMFaulkMD]

So I believed I was not to survive this virus. And, odds were, neither were my patients. #aids #hiv

Perhaps more families would have been able to discuss the diagnosis if our government had at least been willing to say the name: “AIDS.” Instead Allen’s mother told her people that he had died of a brain tumor. #aids #hiv #aidsawareness

Watch as I read outloud a story involving a family conference where a patient's sister asks us to "help" patient die because she wants to fly out in order to get back to her work. We, of course, refuse! #aids #hiv #aidsawareness

I submit this video as evidence in the Impeachment of Donald Trump.

Donald Trump engaged in "violent, deadly and seditious acts" which betrayed his trust as President and endangered the security of the United States.
