@NickForVA Except for national defense, the interstate system, NIH, the internet... oh and bailing out banks and auto manufacturers when they fail in the real world market. Except for those problems...
@metoprolawl I think your best option is to set up your own waiting room and triage desk at the entrance door to your unit. "Hello Ma'am. What brings you to 4 Central this evening?" If that doesn't fly the least they could do is put a triage tag on the pt. before they send 'em up.
@AMLandryMD Don’t forget the “I don’t wanna go back to work on a Monday after a holiday weekend so I’m going to the ED by ambulance on Sunday evening” cohort… #drsnote
@Least_ordinary Absolutely. Curious to hear from healthcare folks of any significant tenure who haven't experienced a significant emotional reaction to the death of someone in their care. Are these reactions - emotional response v. a more "stoic" correlated with provider turnover, I wonder??
@JonathanBarte17@UVAEmergencyMed We delivered training to all our FF's on death & dying w focus on how to communicate w families during & after a code. Thoughtful empathetic care during a crisis became an integral part of who we were as an agency. Thankful to my Tng BC back then for supporting this initiative.
@BeschlossDC He will get away with all of it. Our Republic will break apart into regional economic/political zones. Will be recorded as greatest take down of a society by small number of super rich in history. The final chapter that began with Reagan. #hewillwalk#toolate#damageisdone
