SAY IT LOUDER FOR JUST LITERALLY EVERYONE 😂

There is only one place the anti-reflux valve belongs, and that’s in the trash can.

I said what I said.

3 surgeons with stethoscopes?!? We just had to take a break from ICU rounds to capture this rare moment in time 😂😷 #surgtwitter #MedTwitter #ICUDreamTeam #surgeonscandoctortoo @MAHEC_Surgery

So glad I was able to get my #COVIDBooster today as a frontline worker! Thanks, @CDCgov and @US_FDA for approving the boosters! (And @Target and @cvspharmacy for supplying!!) #ThisIsOurShot #still #WearAMask #GetVaccinated

[CDC @CDCgov]

CDC recommends that certain populations receive a booster shot of Pfizer-BioNTech’s #COVID19 Vaccine at least 6 months after completion of their 2-dose Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine series.

We shouldn’t still have to be explaining epidemiology or vaccination 18 months into this. The problem isn’t a lack of information, it’s a lack of respect for science and education.

[RanaAwdishMD @RanaAwdish]

We don’t talk enough about the emotional toll of triaging patients due to crisis standards of care. There are actual people who have to tell families, sit with the terrible dyspnea and regret. All the while knowing it didn’t have to be this way.
It’s breaking people.

Anger and Mistakes

"Getting angry at people for making mistakes doesn't teach them not to make mistakes.

It teaches them to hide their mistakes."

[American College of Surgeons @AmCollSurgeons]

Yesterday @POTUS called on doctors to speak with patients about getting vaccinated against COVID-19. Surgeons are no exception to this call. #TalkItUp with your patients and encourage your network to do the same.

@MsBabyCatcher You will probably be fine!! Get back on schedule, if it doesn’t pick back up you may need to throw a power pump or two in the mix. Exhaustion can decrease output too so make sure you are eating and drinking enough!

@Gabby_Brauner27 EGS/Trauma: I wear n95 for every pt encounter in ED. Had a period in between peaks where it wasn’t an issue, but in the last month I have had multiple trauma pts incidentally positive (we didn’t know until after initial eval) OR known positive and fall, crash, etc.

@eph__em__era All I had was a welt on my arm after shot #2 (pfizer). No systemic sx.
