@JeromeAdamsMD Yes I have people walk in my office chief complaint “I have covid” no mask. WTF. 😂

[Jerome Adams @JeromeAdamsMD]

Had an echocardiogram this morning. I was masked, as was the echo tech. She had the sniffles/ was clearing her throat throat.
Several points:
1) She ideally should’ve stayed home from work - but in the real world, that’s not always a choice for people. This further underscores the need for masking in healthcare settings when respiratory diseases are circulating.
2) I was all the more appreciative for the double masking in close quarters. It isn’t just about the vulnerable protecting themselves. It takes two to make a thing go right.
3) Did she have Covid? It actually doesn’t matter. Regardless it was likely some sort of virus that I especially don’t want to get before Christmas. And remember – I was there for an echocardiogram. The consequences of an infection transmitted in a healthcare setting are MUCH higher.
4) This isn’t just about protecting me. I could’ve been asymptomatic and transmitted something to her and/ or the other patients she was caring for today.

Moral of the story? Whether you believe in “mandates” or not masking up in healthcare facilities when respiratory viruses are circulating is just plain good sense and good care. 😷👍🏽

@elonmusk You first.

@amazon why not donate funds to community clinics instead of creating a system that will decrease preventative care and put doctors out of business. #amazonhealthcare #weareTMA

@JeffBezos so American docs are worth less than Netflix? 😩 #amazonhealthcare

@masikakalysha A lot of women feel that way but don’t say it. No shame in feeling that way. And it’s not just the single moms. There are wives out here not getting anything also 🙏🏾

[Masika Kalysha @masikakalysha]

Yo moms are really under appreciated. Happy Mother’s Day to all the queens who didn’t get any recognition or appreciation today. You make the world go round

Update.

Spoke with Medical Director @MakeAWish and they are game to discuss how to fix this.

I will join a call with Advisory Council later this week.

Props to @MakeAWish for reaching out and for quick action.

Keep the Likes/RTs going to show how serious we are!

[Pat McGann, MD @PTMcGann]

Well that blew up and may lead to change

Let’s try again.

There are more children who die per day from #SickleCellDisease than #HIV but no funding or recognition that SCD is a global health problem.

What say you @BillGates @gatesfoundation @WHO ?

[Pat McGann, MD @PTMcGann]

A child with #SickleCellDisease is not eligible for @MakeAWish unless certain criteria are met

For #cysticfibrosis a diagnosis alone is sufficient

Both are life-threatening w/ significant impact on quality of life

The difference is race(ism)

@MakeAWish How do we change this?

[Pat McGann, MD @PTMcGann]

A child with sickle cell disease is born across the world EVERY TWO MINUTES. Most die without a diagnosis in the first years of life. Sickle cell belongs among HIV, TB, Malaria as critical global health problems. #SickleCellAwarenessMonth

Why do @lyft drivers accept rides but then sit In Parking lots idle and unresponsive? Is this a form of profiling? How can this be reported?
