As if @JuliaColemanMD couldn’t get any more impressive. Midway through pregnancy, today she jumped at the chance to climb 15 flights of stairs.

New Tonight: Disturbing video from @WBFO in Buffalo, NY shows an elderly man walk up to police in riot gear. An officer shoves the man...he falls backwards, hits his head...starts bleeding immediately...motionless.
Why did this happen @BPDAlerts ?

[Barry Platnick @KBarryMD]

This is beautiful, and worth thinking about as we take care of each individual.

PLEASE help change language used by reporters when patients die in the hospital during this crisis. They DID NOT "die alone". They were surrounded by dedicated staff who fought valiantly for them in their last days, and stood in for family at the end. #wordsmatter @tmprowell

[Kimberly Davis @kadtraumamd]

This is so important. We do not allow people to die alone ... please acknowledge the professional healthcare workers who lose a little bit of themselves every time a patient dies. We are there for our patients at their final hours. @traumadoctors @EAST_TRAUMA #COVID19

Kerry, You rock! Very proud to work alongside you at Denver Health. Stay safe!

[Kerryann Broderick @kerrybroderick3]

Yesterday, got badged and thrown into the ‘cold’ zone. Yikes. I have been doing EM for ..a lot if years. Not prepared for this. NY is so resilient! Patients everywhere. Monitor alarms, everyone in full gear. Nights tonight: Hot Zone

@JJcolemanMD @HyungChoMD @NYCHealthSystem Thank you, survey filled out my name submitted

[Quynh Truong @cardioQT]

I am being redeployed.

Full of mixed emotions. I want to help but scared. Scared of getting COVID and that I am NOT as good as my younger self during the AIDS crisis, 9/11, or the Boston bombing.

I know I can do this. Someone has to be on the #frontline. Let’s beat #COVID19!

[Dr. Chinazo Cunningham @DrChinazo]

Yesterday was one of the hardest days in my 25+ years of being a physician. I’ve worked through HIV/AIDS & opioid epidemics. But #COVID19 is decimating our health care system. PPE is so scarce. Physicians are scared. Patients are scared & dying alone. We have so little to offer.

[Dr. Chinazo Cunningham @DrChinazo]

This will continue to happen across the US health care system until we get more PPE. This is completely unacceptable. We deserve better. @WhiteHouse must deploy resources to make more PPE NOW.

@jhalifax Here is my mantra:
Pay attention to the science, love the people around you, and manifest compassion.

Here is what I can do: pay attention to the science, love the people around me, and manifest compassion

He designed a vent in 10 days... and I bet it's better than what we currently use 🤣

Thank you @Dyson !

The spread of COVID-19 has led to the harmful spread of stigma & misinformation. Like any other virus, no identity, community, ethnic, or racial group is more at risk for getting or spreading COVID-19. Help stop #stigma by learning and sharing the facts. https://t.co/DjO7nrtGi3
