Finally home after 13 hours in the ER. Today >90% of my patients were confirmed or likely #COVID19. Many really sick, some in their 30s like me. The sirens on otherwise empty NYC streets are unending & haunting. I’m tired. But really honored to be back in the ER in the morning.

Ya’ll. I approached a resident last night as she was super busy charting & asked if I could ask a quick question. “Sure, what do you need?” without looking up. “Well, I am starting an AdoptAResident program and-“ she swings around saying “OMG GOSH YES ID LOVE THAT.” 1/3
