Pulmonologist/Intensivist in Las Vegas/Henderson. Not a frontliner...I’m your last line of defense vs COVID

[IntensivistDoc DO @IntensivistDoc]

@IM_Crit_ Sooo true!! I cancelled the CT after a negative MRI and got reprimanded by the protocol police and had to explain to admin 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️😂

[IntensivistDoc DO @IntensivistDoc]

@Shabbirkazmi90 @IM_Crit_ This is SO spot on!!!

[IntensivistDoc DO @IntensivistDoc]

@DrCanuckMD Hahaha. As an ICU attending I would give him my standard line of “please go home…read a mystery novel… and find a fucking clue”

[IntensivistDoc DO @IntensivistDoc]

@LGlaucomflecken @njohncamm @DGlaucomflecken Maybe @njohncamm just needs to read a mystery novel and find a clue 🤷🏻‍♂️ Those of us that attended SCCM Congress LOVED your message and are actively practicing treating the patient and their families.

@baltazarsurgery Looks like your “lil sib” me followed my big sib’s career in critical care hahhaha. Sorry I didn’t catch you at Congress.

[IntensivistDoc DO @IntensivistDoc]

@baltazarsurgery Did you graduate from TUCOM California?

[IntensivistDoc DO @IntensivistDoc]

@drjill14 @DGlaucomflecken @LGlaucomflecken This was a fantastic talk. Probably one of the best I have ever seen/heard.

[IntensivistDoc DO @IntensivistDoc]

@GoodishIntent 😩😩😩By the time I get the admission (2-3 hours after arrival)… NOTHING has been done. Not even fluids or any form or insulin 😭😭😭

[IntensivistDoc DO @IntensivistDoc]

@m4betch Ignore all that noise. Apply to all that you’re interested in!!!

Did my dad help you on September 11, 2001? If so, I'm trying to find you. (a thread)

On September 11th, 2001 my dad caught a flight in Ohio to fly home to Denver. He was there on business and was anxious to get home to see his family. (1/11)

[IntensivistDoc DO @IntensivistDoc]

@JaymetheRN @PhilStudge @shesinscrubs 🥰 they are the absolute best. I’m very blessed and lucky and appreciate the family we have.

[IntensivistDoc DO @IntensivistDoc]

@brakes4birds @CeeRussell @shesinscrubs Thank you. My partners and I are very protective of our colleagues

[IntensivistDoc DO @IntensivistDoc]

@JaymetheRN @PhilStudge @shesinscrubs You are spot on! I was told that my support of the nursing staff was adding fuel to the fire in creating a hostile work environment 🤯🤬 that woke up papa bear. I’ll continue to advocate.

[IntensivistDoc DO @IntensivistDoc]

@PhilStudge @shesinscrubs I was pretty much told to “shut up and dribble” They definitely haven’t stopped me from advocating for the nursing staff

[IntensivistDoc DO @IntensivistDoc]

@CeeRussell @shesinscrubs My apologies. That statement was not my intention. You are spot on with that.

[gamerEMdoc @GamerEMDoc]

When a bunch of docs and nurses quit and a hospital is about to collapse, please, everyone, before you leave that hospital…

Make sure to send 🍕 to admin. Finding staffing is hard. They need to know they are the real heros.

@theintensemd My admin tried to tell me who shall or shall not be admitted to MY ICU. Aren’t they cute…NOT. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[IntensivistDoc DO @IntensivistDoc]

@GolsRpalliative @jmugele That happened to me literally 5 minutes ago by a patient’s family member. To which I replied “can I call your loved one a murderer for passing the virus onto your mom who I just coded 2 hours ago” 🤷🏻‍♂️
