@DocWithBowtie Thank you for your work. I relate to this having been in PCCM fellowship when the pandemic hit and as I still witness the ripple effects in my patients. Keep going.
The @NorthwesternMed Organ Transplant Program is proud to announce that we performed over 600 transplants in 2023! Thank you to our dedicated physicians and staff for making this accomplishment possible.
Lots to be #thankful for: A simple cold set off a chain of events that resulted in a year-long hospitalization for Emily Presley. A double-lung transplant at Northwestern Medicine got her back home to Kentucky in time for the #holidays. #NMBetter
@doclauravater In training, I once had a colleague ask me if I had taken up a job as a “tour guide” instead of medicine when he saw me leading someone to the ICU.. looking back, it was a very bad look on his part.
Today I discovered my ~50yo male patient was denied methotrexate (for lung disease) by his insurance company as it is “non-formulary.” It was then requested I reorder a “contraceptive on formulary”…
@gbosslet Husband and wife dying within hours of each other in the ICU. The bus driver who got his family sick bc he had to keep working, and then his whole family died, and he survived. Families screaming through glass as their loved ones died.. The list goes on..
