Not every day is going to offer us the chance to save somebody’s life, but every day offers us an opportunity to affect one.

One of the residents asked me what my top 3 fave music genres are. After I answered, they responded with “what’s emo music?”
… I’ve never felt old until that moment. What’s next? Am I going to start waking up with back pain? Should I sign up for AARP?

We are burying mom’s ashes next Sunday at noon. Noon also happens to be kickoff for the first @ChicagoBears game of the year. Mom was the biggest Bears fan I know and was always decked out head to toe in Bears clothes on game day. Do I wear typical funeral clothes or no?

Abortion is not just health care, it is a human right. Beyond infringing on bodily autonomy, there are conditions in pregnancy that result in death without safe abortion care. This is a calling for all in medicine to stand on the side of justice https://t.co/8FdGtvwI2L

After watching my mom die a week ago, the one type of patient I didn’t want on my first shift back was a sick liver patient. So guess how I ended my shift 😞

On behalf of all emergency physicians, ACEP urges the passage of the Workplace Violence Prevention for Health Care and Social Service Workers Act.

We also ask health facilities to reevaluate and improve security policies to do everything within their power to protect care teams.
