We are not the same”

[Jessica K. Willett, MD @jkwillettmd]

Today I stood in a room in front of a panel of old white men trying to hold their power over me and raised my voice to say:
“Do not interrupt me, I’m not finished talking.”

Later, I cried.

Today me is the hero my younger, meeker self didn’t know she needed.

if you’re going to be awful to staff and refuse care when you come to the hospital, don’t come in! 😇 let us use our skills and resources on people who deserve and want it.

For the millionth time
1) You cannot have more ventilated beds without the skilled nurses to manage them
2) You cannot "upskill" staff to become ICU qualified nurses
3) ICU is very complex and needs highly expert nursing staff to manage safely @BACCNUK @FICMNews
