@WesleyLHuff Hi Wes. It’s Christmas, and I was wondering if you have looked into the Nestorian stele, which apparently dates back to 7th century Tang dynasty documenting the birth of Jesus on stone with links to Alopen, a persian missionary to China. It has “rubbing piece”. Thx.

@fati_hc Looks fake

@i_c_sound @DRsonosRD @RubbleEM @CreaghB @nobleultrasound @ResaELewiss Agreed. They are just inviting you into a fight. Ignore, disregard, dismiss. You’re a great teacher, sonographer and mentor.

@dan___kim Reminds me of lipstick!

[Peter Cheng @cephasplus]

@dan___kim Some things you can’t unsee

[Peter Cheng @cephasplus]

@EMUGs_ does anyone have a tamponade policy in their hospital? Finding more cases at the door but cardiology aren’t as excited to tap. Need a multi-disciplinary plan

[Peter Cheng @cephasplus]

@mjkcan1 Mike, your enthusiasm is off the charts! 😆 your gonna make it 👍🏻

[Dr Eric Levi @DrEricLevi]

Does “COVID normal” mean not enough staff in hospitals?

[Peter Cheng @cephasplus]

@mjkcan1 Congratulations Mike! I did exactly the same thing as you did! Flight to NY pass or fail, and I passed! Enjoy.

[Peter Cheng @cephasplus]

@DrEricLevi Close contact? No worries. Tonight, my wife will be following the slick advice broadcasted by Australia’s Booger Doctor on how to dig her nose to get the best (and hopefully negative) results. #ismellarat @theprojecttv

[Peter Cheng @cephasplus]

Yes please. No longer an emergency if you can test yourself in your own home and isolate. Leave EDs for the true emergencies.

[Western Health @western_health]

Our emergency departments at Sunshine, Footscray, and Williamstown Hospitals are currently under extreme pressure. Please DO NOT attend the ED unless absolutely necessary. Those with mild COVID symptoms seeking PCR or rapid tests should NOT ATTEND. Thank you for your cooperation.

@phyllis_fu @TheRock She’s not the kind who will go on social media. But if she gets a response from @TheRock (absolutely anything will do!), I’ll make sure to capture her reaction and post it with her consent.

[Peter Cheng @cephasplus]

@TheRock I have a colleague who is an inspiration to the people she works with (she is an Emergency Doctor in the busiest ED in Victoria, Australia). In this COVID time, we were hoping you - an inspiration of hers - would have a moment to say Hi to her. It would MAKE her day.

[Phyllis Fu @phyllis_fu]

@cephasplus @TheRock Wait but she needs a twitter account for @TheRock to reach her.

Here’s the proof 😇

She is the real deal and an amazing leader, working long hours and busting her chops when nobody else would. She draws her strength from @TheRock calendar hanging by her desk… I know she’d be thrilled to hear from you!

[The Royal Melbourne Hospital @TheRMH]

The ICU has been busy snapping away! 📸

The team recently ordered a Polaroid camera to take photos of themselves to stick to their gowns, so that their awake COVID patients can see their lovely faces underneath all that PPE. :)

A bit of fun for all during a difficult time!
