Intensivist nurse practitioner; primarily diaphragm & up. Pathophysiology is the heart of critical care. Constantly learning, passing on what I have learned.

My 3 rules of dying in the ICU:

No one has to die short of breath.
No one has to die afraid.
No one has to die in pain.

I’m glad @POTUS is taking steps to make it easier for Americans to file taxes. Taxpayers waste time & money every year on tax filing, while companies like @Intuit siphon off cash. The IRS should commit right now to rolling out easy, free online tax-filing.

I have to say, I really didn’t expect the worst peak in cases to be over 1.5yrs into the pandemic.
I mean, we haven’t “beaten” the winter surge, but all indicators point to us heading for a worse period.

People have asked why I have “flipped” from a advocate of FPA to a advocate of Physician led team care. Although I have explained it several times, I am going to do it ONE last time for everyone to read. Please read carefully. /1

The Biden admin has selected nurse Susan Orsega to serve as the nation's acting surgeon general.

Orsega, a longtime infectious-disease specialist, would be among the first nurses to serve in the role of surgeon general. https://t.co/Xx2gAk22kl

@gayfrose What are your expectations regarding return on investment? May be an expensive degree unless employer helps pay for it.

@scrubsNsquats In our house, it was felt that constantly differentiating between our son and 'her' daughter was awkward.
Daughter's father knows and is comfortable with it.

Quote by a forest ranger at Yosemite National Park on why it is hard to design the perfect garbage bin to keep bears from breaking into it: “There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.”

[Sean P Dent @SeanPDent]

Stop saying mid-level. If the NP is a “mid-level”, does that make a bedside RN a “low-level?” This is not a caste system. By not speaking up you are OK with the unconscious bias of “thinking” the RN is a “low-level.” What you allow will continue. Change starts with you.

There is a lot in this by @jonathanchait: “Trump... shares Howard Zinn’s basic belief that American history is a procession of mass murder and colonial appropriation. The main difference in their worldview is that Trump sees these crimes as good things.”

I’ve got a crazy idea here - just hear me out. There are over 4 million nurses and advanced practice nurses in the US. Nursing is the backbone of healthcare delivery. Maybe, just maybe, including them in HC policy decisions will make HC better in this country. #NurseTwitter

[Rev and Professor Roberta Lavin (Daihō Rofū) @RobertaLavin]

It is never good when Physicians are not honest. This physician was clearly trying to walk a tight line, but in so doing he knew he was being misled. The intent to mislead is dishonest. He disgraced the uniform.

Lindsey Graham, aka #2FacedLindsey, is a lying, pathetic, spineless hypocrite who does not belong in the U.S. Senate. He is the PAST.

Jaime Harrison is the FUTURE.
