Why isn't there movement from physicians to separate a professional name from a legal name? I earned my MD, published, and I am known in the community by my maiden name. Just because I'd like to have the same family name as my husband and kids, my professional name gets tossed??!

@TristanJRogers1 @JonHaidt @philoso_foster I already listed my top three in my bio I guess: 🤱🏻👰🏻👩🏻‍⚕️ but if I could I’d add a forth 🥢

Hey @Apple @tim_cook AirPods have live listen feature w phone. Can you create update so the AirPods can talk back on speaker to the phone too?? It would be a safe way for us to communicate to the team outside the patient room while wearing our PAPRs inside! PAPRs are loud!!

@abj2280 @MayoPCCM Anecdotal account of patient who fevered for 12 days. Two negative SARS CoV 2 tests followed by a third test which was finally positive. How many people will go for three tests?

@anandiyermd @ReynoldsShook I’m told the masks need a chance to dry hence why the recommendation to store in paper bags. Wonder how to combine these methods

@WarnerMatthewA @ogi_gajic @WalkeyAllan @APSForg Protect your intubation team! @UCD_Anes @UCDavisHealth @UCDavisMedCntr @dlubarskymd

[Schirin Tang, M.D. @SchirinMD]

@WarnerMatthewA @ogi_gajic @WalkeyAllan @APSForg Is this because we are not doing enough to cover full body in multiple layers like China did? We need ear/neck/shoulder coverage!

[Schirin Tang, M.D. @SchirinMD]

@AlexAndersonMD I haven’t been on frontlines yet but that was going to be my cutoff. How do we decide how long too? 14 days after last contact with positive patient? Is separate room/bathroom enough? Same HVAC system. Go to hotel? 3 weeks in a hotel? And what to do as a breastfeeding mom?

[Tim Cook @doctimcook]

So here’s a plea.
No more ‘standard’, ‘full’ & ‘enhanced’ PPE
PPE matches the route of transmission
- contact precautions
- droplet precautions
- airborne precautions
Use of this language would cut through a lot of confusion.

@GallodeMoraesMD @OlavemCarolina @lmatzek Go @lmatzek ! Congrats!

[Schirin Tang, M.D. @SchirinMD]

@GallodeMoraesMD @RanaAwdish Omg yes. First thing I dropped was real clothes. If it’s not something I can wash daily in hot water and dry on high heat, it’s staying in the closet!!

[Schirin Tang, M.D. @SchirinMD]

@CMichaelGibson Yes

[Dale Needham, MD, PhD @DrDaleNeedham]

Almost 20% of virus-positive people in Philly are healthcare workers

- clinicians must avoid healthcare settings when not on clinical service

- for healthcare events, including leadership meetings, meet via video. DO NOT MEET IN-PERSON

@DoctorDaxon Oooo good point. I assumed we would just teach RT on the fly or stand by ourselves to be the RT as well. I mean we’re all trained to be Doc, RN, and RT at once in OR!

[Schirin Tang, M.D. @SchirinMD]

@pmorenofranco @pedrodammert @DoctorDaxon @PulmCrit @RKleinpell @SCCMPresident @ATSCritCare @crit_caring_MD The length of tubing isn’t an issue if you wye them close enough. Suggest using multi port octopus or similar right at the IV J loop or at the cvc hub. If you dilute, you really run risk of iatrogenic fluid overload just from the meds!
