First mayoral forum on the books

Someone threw in the question "What ward do you live in?"

Mayor Wu: Ward 18

Domingos DaRosa: 18

Josh Kraft: “I’m embarrassed to say I don’t know”

Alex Alex also didn't know

Wu leaned over to Kraft and held up 3 fingers, signifying Ward 3

As winter cold continues to blanket Boston and other parts of the country, we recommend reading this short article with some helpful tips from our Dr. Becky Lee who cares for unhoused people living on the streets. Thank you for your extra care this season! https://t.co/O5POZtyDpE

Did you know that unhoused individuals have more than double mortality from lung cancer? Thanks to a charitable contribution from @bmsnews, we’ve added a patient navigator whose key focus is to increase our patients’ lung cancer screening rates.

@IDDoc1978 @The_BMC Good luck! Hope our paths cross more now that you are further down Washington St!!

@MikeGiardi They have to make one of these coaches stay behind in the UK right?

Offering buprenorphine to people at risk of OD in shelters saves lives—decreasing OD deaths by 10%—and actually saves money by decreasing OD-related health care costs (despite the costs of providing bupe)

Todd: Hello. Operator. Listen to me -- I can’t speak very loud. This is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco. We have a situation here. Our plane has been hijacked. Can you understand me?

Lisa: (exhaling a deep breath to herself) I understand. Can the hijackers see you talking on the phone?

Todd: No.

Lisa: Can you tell me how many hijackers are on the plane?

Todd: There are three that we know of.

Lisa: Can you see any weapons? What kind of weapons do they have?

Todd: Yes. They don’t have guns. They have knives – they took over the plane with knives.

Lisa: Do you mean -- like steak knives?

Todd: No, these are razor knives -- like box cutters.

Lisa: Can you tell what country these people are from?

Todd: No -- I don’t know. They sound like they’re from the mid-east.

Lisa: Have they said what they want?

Todd: Someone announced from the cockpit that there was a bomb on board. He said he was the captain and to stay in our seats and stay quiet.
He said that they were meeting these men’s demands and returning to the airport. It was very broken English, and...I’m telling you...it sounded fake!

Lisa: Ok sir, please give me your name.

Todd: My name is Todd Beamer.

Lisa: Ok Todd, my name is Lisa. Do you know your flight number? If you can’t remember, it’s on your ticket.

Todd: It’s United Flight 93.

Lisa: Now Todd, can you try to tell me exactly what happened?

Todd: Two of the hijackers were sitting in first class near the cockpit. A third one was sitting near the back of the coach section. The two up front got into the cockpit somehow; there was shouting. The third hijacker said he had a bomb. It looks like a bomb. He’s got it tied to his waist with a red belt of some kind.

Lisa: So is the door to the cockpit open?

Todd: No, the hijackers shut it behind them.

Lisa: Has anyone been injured?

Todd: Yes, they…they killed one passenger sitting in first class. There’s been lots of shouting. We don’t know if the pilots are dead or alive. A flight attendant told me that the pilot and copilot had been forced from the cockpit and may have been wounded.

Lisa: Where is the 3rd hijacker now Todd?

Todd: He’s near the back of the plane. They forced most of the passengers into first class. There are fourteen of us here in the back. Five are flight attendants. He hasn’t noticed that I slipped into this pantry to get the phone. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor in the rear of the plane...oh Jesus...HELP!

Lisa: Todd, are you ok? Tell me what’s happening!

Todd: Hello. We’re going down. I think we’re going to crash. Wait – wait a minute. No, we’re leveling off...we’re ok. I think we may be turning around. That’s it – we changed directions. Do you hear me? We’re flying east again.

Lisa: Ok Todd, what’s going on with the other passengers?

Todd: Everyone is really scared. A few passengers with cell phones have made calls to relatives. A guy, Jeremy, was talking to his wife just before the hijacking started. She told him that hijackers had crashed two planes into the World Trade Center. Lisa is that true??

Lisa: Todd, I have to tell you the truth. It’s very bad. The World Trade Center is gone. Both of the towers have been destroyed.

Todd: Oh God -- help us!

Lisa: A third plane was taken over by terrorists. It crashed into the Pentagon in Washington DC. Our country is under attack, and I’m afraid that your plane may be part of their plan.

Todd: Oh dear God. Dear God... Lisa, will you do something for me?

Lisa: I’ll try if I can. Yes.

Todd: I want you to call my wife and my kids for me and tell them what’s happened. Promise me you’ll call..

Lisa: I promise – I’ll call.

Every year on 9/11, I watch ESPN's "The Man in the Red Bandana," which tells the story of Welles Crowther, a former college lacrosse player who saved a dozen people in the South tower.

If you've never seen this, take 13 minutes and watch it now.

For people experiencing homelessness, recuperating after a hospitalization is difficult. Medical respite care programs can help bridge the gap. https://t.co/oSvqmyXz6l

@ericfisher How’s the timing a bit further west? Heading to your namesake island for the weekend. Hoping to get 18 in Saturday. Thanks as always!

1/ New in @NEJM, we discuss the implications of the recent @CMS place-of-service code (outreach site/street) for delivering care to patients experiencing unsheltered homelessness across the US and necessary steps to help sustain and scale street medicine.

#streetmedicine is now recognized by Medicare. There is so much more that can be done to support this growing and important field. @BHCHP @StreetMedInst @NatlHCHCouncil
