@WarshaKorani A mix of loans, borrowing money, family/friends support and volunteering for research studies that pay you for samples and so 😂😂. Leveraging all that with the hope of moving to a paid position before or when matching into residency and paying it back
The problem is that everyone thinks theyre doing the right thing from their point of view, or look the other way. For HCWs, no matter where we look, we see more of the same: No real progress, and futile efforts to fix the problem while being thrown under the bus #COVID19
Stay indoors. But also return in person. Wear a mask. Not that one. The expensive one, that you can’t find. Take rapid tests. Which you also can’t find. But if you find them, don’t buy them. Rapid tests don’t work. You need PCR. There are zero appointments in your area.

Lo que usted propone y pelea es ilogico xq el supply es muy escaso

An important change in the way we evaluate healthcare organizations. Other rankings follow an individualistic approach to health outcomes including unnecessary and costly low-value care. This ranking is more holistic in assessing all involved in health, including the community
Why won't you find elite hospitals like the Mayo Clinic or Mass General at the top of the #LownHospitalsIndex?
Because many hospitals achieving the best patient outcomes aren't doing as much as they could to promote health equity and avoid overuse. https://t.co/MRSGkfya5I
