Yesterday was my birthday. in Navajo Nation we send so many intubated patients to Flagstaff/Albq/Phx. it can be demoralizing. I heard my first covid patient in SF that I admitted 60 days ago, after weeks in icu, got discharged yesterday. Survived! Best bday gift I could imagine.
First day on service as covid attending @UCSF. Everyone in masks and at the 10 am Emergency room huddle, clear instructions, & air of commitment and purpose. We ended with chaplain saying we are ordinary people doing sacred work. The solidarity and service mindset is palpable.
This is my first thread. Going to start sharing my impressions of the COVID-19 situation from my vantage point at San Francisco General Hospital, @UCSF, California. @SFGHFoundation #COVID19 1/12
