Martín is a farm worker who works under a ufw contract and he wanted to share, "In this elections I am going to vote for Kamala Harris, because she is going to support us for immigration reform. ¡Sí se puede! with Kamala Harris!" #Vote

An incredible story from an incredible person. Please take a moment to read - it will provide the perspective and humanity needed to often get us through hard days as healers

[Paige Stevens @PaigePICUMD]

Wrote this piece as a way to say thank you to those who cared for me when I needed it most.

I'd be willing to bet that nearly every minority resident has shared a meaningful moment with a cafeteria worker, administrator, greeter, janitor, engineer, or another healthcare adjacent worker in the hospital. Let's be honest, diversity in medicine is still lacking.

@CodyGathersMD That information was passed along to fellow who then sent out a group text via voalte to the unit (RN, RT, etc.) - text had anticipated rounding time for each patient and what teams would be present. At morning huddle we confirmed each picu team had sent out “rounding plan” text

[Mónica Ruiz, MD, MPH @MORpicuMD]

@CodyGathersMD We had to streamline this process when we integrated a unit based interpreter for our picu rounds. Since we had to share one interpreter among three picu teams. Senior resident coordinated rounding time with each consultant every morning.

@DrTiffJohnson What an incredible role model!

[Dr. Tiffani Johnson, MD, MSc @DrTiffJohnson]

I felt VERY uncomfortable sending this email…but working on normalizing compensating Black women for their labor and acknowledging that I need to prioritize rest to do this important work (and therefore have to stop agreeing to give talks at 4:45 or 5am)

[Mónica Ruiz, MD, MPH @MORpicuMD]

@Doc_Vie I have much love for you too V! Hope fellowship is treating you well!

@_DrJ As a resident I gave an adolescent w/ their grandmother present my “this is why you should get the HPV vaccine” talk and not only did the adolescent agree, the grandmother (~70 years old) asked if she could get it too and it’s one of my proudest moments as a pediatrician lol

Bad Bunny’s “Titi Me Pregunto” can help you keep the beat and save a life with Hands-Only CPR. If you see a teen or adult suddenly collapse:
👉 Call 911
👉 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest at a rate of 100-120 beats per minute

@_DrJ Thanks Jasmyn! The PICU is so lucky to have you. . . If even for a month. But I think you should consider a second fellowship in PICU 😅💪🏼🎊!!!
