April 5, all medical records became immediately available to patients per law.

-MD got paged Sat. bc a lab was 0.1 low
-MD asked to modify record bc pt disagrees they are overweight
-Pt found out cancer had recurred w/ NO support 1

From an ER doc colleague: “I had a COVID pt today with sats in the mid 80s on 6L tell me I was going to tell him he had COVID whether he did or not because I just wanted to make money off him. I was so mad I had to walk out (temporarily). 😡”

We are TIRED but are not giving up.

I don’t have my COVID shot yet. So I am posting this picture of the stairwell where I retreated yesterday after the 6th death in less than 12 hours. Just needed a place to gather myself and try to rally my team of residents, nurses, RTs & Pulm/Critical care fellow...

The mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) are kind of brilliant at a science level. I’ve had a few people in my real non-Twitter life ask me to explain how it works so I’m going to try my best here in this thread while I’m waiting for a patient to show.

<24 hours from my last preclinical med school exam and I'm still waiting for when big pharma offers me a big check so I can intentionally spew misinformation rather than fulfilling my life-long dream of helping and healing patients...

As many of you know, I received multiple surprise medical bills associated with my emergency hospitalization for a cardiac arrest. Several doctors (who I never met btw due to my lack of consciousness) were out of network and therefore, not covered by Cigna

[Elisa Liu @Elisa_Liu_]

I am reminded of a close mentor who was attacked online and received death threats after sharing research regarding covid. To see people who only want to uphold integrity and share life-saving evidence-based recommendations have their intentions questioned is heartbreaking.

[Ashish K. Jha @ashishkjha]

Today was a very, very odd day

I testified before @senatehomeland

They held a hearing on hydroxychloroquine.

Yup, HCQ

In the middle of the worst surge of pandemic

HCQ

It was clear how our information architecture shapes questions of science and medicine of COVID

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

America, I’m honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country.

The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not.

I will keep the faith that you have placed in me.

It’s Election Day, so let’s talk about why our eyes get puffy when we cry

[Ryan Struyk @ryanstruyk]

FAUCI: "If we had everyone have universal use of masks, distancing, no crowds, outdoors, wash hands, you wouldn't see the surges we're seeing. It occurs because of the lack of implementation of simple public health measures. It's so frustrating, because it's not rocket science."

[Amy Cho, MD MBA @amychomd]

Lots of folks say “you must be brave” when they find out I work in the ER.

It’s true that I don’t (usually) get upset at the sight of blood. But there are plenty of things that scare me.

A non-exhaustive list of things this emergency physician is afraid of:
