Help spread the word: From May 24 until July 4, Uber and Lyft will offer everyone in America free rides to and from COVID-19 vaccination sites.

Stand up to hatred!!

@ErekMajka @rubin_allergy That palliative care is there to "get the DNR" or have a desired outcome. Our focus is to TALK with pts to understand their prefs/values and match care to that, whatever it is.

@sylv_lane One of the beautiful things in medical training is watching people find THEIR thing.(Not everyone does!) Thank God some people want to do Neurosurg or Peds Onc because I sure don't. You (and non-pal care ppl) will do best doing the work that is challenging and engaging to YOU.

[Anne Kinderman @AnneKinderman]

@PeteButtigieg It is even better than I'd envisioned, when you told us to imagine it. Grateful that our new leadership team is smart, strong, and ready to roll up their sleeves on this new day. THANK YOU.

Privileged to get 2nd vaccination yesterday. For that and other reasons, this feels apropos today:

I know masks have become a partisan issue — but it’s a patriotic act. Experts say wearing a mask from now until April will save more than 50,000 lives.

[Anne Kinderman @AnneKinderman]

BEYOND grateful to have been vaccinated. I hope all Americans >18 who can get this will do so ASAP! These are life-saving, safe, and our best hope for getting out of this mess. #VAXUP

@nursekelsey Thank you very much for communicating this important message, and for helping patients have a soft landing rather than a crash. #hpm

@QaaliHussein1 As a resident, when pronouncing death I would take a moment of silence to reflect on what I appreciated about the pt, then audibly say "goodbye Mr. X." The same can be done as a group the next day on rounds. Our hospital also facilitates yearly reflection on Dia de Los Muertos

[Anne Kinderman @AnneKinderman]

Glad that Healthcare workers are speaking up, but are people (outside of big cities) listening? For all of our sakes, I hope so.

🚨I wrote about what health-care workers are going through, how exhausted & scared they are, and what this 3rd pandemic surge is doing to them.

It’s not like the first 2. It’s worse. How much slack is left in the system? Iowa nurse: “There is none” 1/

@kumailn Biked to drop off ballot, after helping hospitalized patients get absentee ballots, almost half of whom were homeless.

@AllisonRBond Do you promise?

@joshuy @GeriMedMD It's the MMSE, based on the Chris Wallace interview on Fox, where he mentioned counting back by 7 from 100.

@kafkline @haithamahmedmd This is the really hard point...you don't necessarily know what basic science points will be most relevant to you in your future specialty when you're going through 1st yr. So how do you figure out what to cut?

13 years ago, I emailed Dr. Fauci out of the blue to ask if I might interview him for my undergrad thesis. He invited me to his office, where he answered all my questions. When I sent him the thesis, HE READ THE WHOLE THING (see his overly effusive review below). Who does that?!
