My dreams for my daughter were of watching her live a fabulously big life. She planned to backpack Morocco. Dive several oceans. Visit Galapagos. Study in Amsterdam (she’s half Dutch). See her fall in love, with people and the world. Build wisdom.
She wants to be a doctor. She is deeply kind and empathetic. She is clever. She was topping her gifted and talented cohort. She loves to be in the water. Loves any kind of board. Loves to sing. Loves competitive sport. Loves philosophy, especially the ancients. Loves to think.
She got Covid in March 22, at 13.
My dreams for my daughter now are to see her live outside of a hospital. Be able to live without pain and nausea and crippling fatigue. And one day see her be able to eat and drink again.
Next week is Paediatric Long Covid Week. These children deserve research and a chance at real recovery.

Waiting period
Parental permission
Doctor’s note
Watch video on dangers
Forced him travel hundreds of miles to gun store
Make him walk through protestors

This 600-year-old painting is one of the most mysterious in history.
That mirror at the back is just 3 inches wide — yet it reflects the entire room in immense detail.
Look closer at it and you'll realize nothing is as it seems… (thread) 🧵
Hi, ER Doc here.
I don’t know who needs to hear this but New York Presbyterian Hospital keeps an actual @Spotify playlist of “Songs to do CPR to” for timing chest compressions during CPR

Idea: Offer asylum, no questions asked, for Afghan women and girls only, to any country. Let’s see what happens when Afghanistan is left to the men alone.
