Today, after watching the weaponization of whiteness against two Black men, one who could have ended up dead, and one who was absolutely murdered in front of a crowd, I have done some reflecting on my past. The things I did that did not affect my future. Here’s a story-

Incredibly touching

This pandemic is stretching me more than I thought possible & weve not even begun to see the thick of it.

As this scene becomes more regularly played out, may I never forget as a nurse what it felt like as a daughter to see my dad’s Nike’s lined up in the ICU room one last time

Exactly

Ugh when it’s busy & kids deteriorate in the waiting area of the Peds Emerg. It happens.

*important for staff to survey what hasn’t been triaged yet.

*parents/caregivers: if U think your child is getting worse while waiting to be seen, pleeeeez speak up.

All babies born today at Woman's Hospital received special No. 9 onesie "jerseys" in celebration of Joe Burrow and LSU's national championship game vs. Clemson.

One of those babies is James — Steve Ensminger's new grandson. 🐯👶

I’m not understanding this: “Nine out of 14 (64.3%) patients injured by firearms and 26 out of 91 (28.6%) injured in motor vehicle traffic were overtriaged.” How can a pediatric gsw or mva trauma be overtriaged? 🤷‍♀️

[Medscape @Medscape]

Pediatric injuries are often overtriaged by paramedics, study suggests. https://t.co/psTjeM6iB1

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says 27 children in the United States have died of the flu so far this season. That's the highest number of child flu deaths at this point in the season since the CDC started keeping records 17 years ago. https://t.co/w97js8cvCk
