And yet....we rarely talk about healthcare workers dying of #Covid_19 or what is it like for this whole team to take this break (which most don’t get might I add) & go right back to work on other #Covid_19 patients...or go outside and see people flaunting not wearing masks..
We have increased the age of patients on our pediatrics floor to 26 years old because of the increased numbers of #COVID19 patients being admitted to the adult services.
Hope you enjoyed your New Years party, here we go again...

Her name was Dr. Lorna Breen. A woman who saved countless lives, millions more saved through her dedication to train the next generation of emergency medicine doctors. To her family and friends, I send prayers. But prayers are not enough. We, as a medical community, must fix this
Nearly 300 #physicians commit #suicide each year. 300. It happens without mention from media and patients alike. I fear what this number will be following #COVID19. Each one a person who dedicated their entire 20’s, a full decade, to learn how to keep others alive. (2/5)
