Over 40 staff & patients @BrighamWomens contracted Covid-19 from asymptomatic staff.
Despite working in tight quarters with sick patients, health workers are not routinely tested for Covid.
We are asking hospital leaders to enact universal screening and #TestUsToo#BWHoutbreak
I am appalled Boston Globe would blame our residents & staff for getting COVID at work.
I can assure you, this has absolutely *nothing* to do with our work ethic.
It has everything to do with lack of regular asymptomatic screening & cramped work conditions. @BostonGlobe
MAJOR NEWS🗣: Mass General and the Brigham hospitals will no longer use the “race multiplier” for eGFR function.
This is a MAJOR win but please know this change is the result of YEARS of hard work, advocacy, and research done by Black students and scholars.
"Hidden in Plain Sight — Reconsidering the Use of Race Correction in Clinical Algorithms," a Medicine and Society article by @DarshaliVyas, et al. now available.
A quote from one of the last classes @HarvardHBS : “Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it” - Talmud, Seder Nezikin
Thanks @ewarren@PattyMurray@SenatorBaldwin for telling the FDA that we must make access to medication abortion easier during COVID-19. Will you join them? 👉https://t.co/wjpqcXzRdV 👈
