Pearl from one of my favorite uppers: in medicine, we don’t reward things like compassion, communicating, & spending time with patients, so these important skills become devalued. Praise your medical learners for more than efficiency, knowledge, and presentations in feedback
My 42yr old twin brother died in ITU of COVID-19 last week. He died exactly 4 weeks after testing positive. He was the fittest, healthiest person I know. He was climbing Welsh mountains & wild camping 4 weeks before his death.
For those who think COVID 19 is a hoax or "just the flu", it killed both my parents within 15 days of each other, before they could get vaccinated. Yes read that again. I feel angry both as a daughter and a doctor.
I just left the ER.
We are officially back to getting crushed by COVID-19.
Delta Variant is running rampant and it’s MUCH more transmissible than the original virus.
99% of our ICU admits did NOT receive a vaccine.
Virtually ALL of them wish they had.
When our beloved Lebanon was suffering, we made it our goal to help them. Because of you, Lebanon's people received the necessities they no longer had access to after the tragic explosion.
We thank you for your endless generosity and kindness. ❤️
Can we all sing a praise song for Darnella Frazier who had the presence of mind to film that video that made such a difference in this case and now must live with the memories that will walk alongside her for the rest of her years
WHITE police officers must understand when you pull over a BLACK MAN that he is most likely SCARED AS HELL because he has seen MANY Black men EXECUTED on camera by white police officers.
What you may be STUPIDLY seeing as RESISTANCE is actually LEGITIMATE FEAR you will KILL HIM.
If a doctor uses the wrong tool and kills a patient what are the chances they keep their job? If a pilot opens the cabin door midflight instead of turning on the seat belt sign do they keep their job? But a cop can "mistakenly" grab their gun instead of a taser and keep theirs?
