@maryjbledsoe1 @TheRealisticRN Yup. I worked emergency medicine in a busy suburban hospital. Half our ER was turned into an overflow ICU bc so many people were dying of covid. I’ve been an attending 20 years and never signed as many death certificates as I did 20-21.

@iambapoet Does it matter if it’s published versus unpublished?

[Rachel Leah @drrmalla]

@shepherdmoon53 Being that I haven’t written at all…this could work!

[Rachel Leah @drrmalla]

Someone please give me a poem prompt. An idea. Something. I have five kids and worked a tumultuous ER shift the other day, and somehow...I've got nothing.

@JDVance lol I just remembered how you run.

[Rachel Leah @drrmalla]

@lisamurkowski You’re really funny given recent events.

[Rachel Leah @drrmalla]

@BethanyJarmul @ChestnutReview Congrats! I also had a motherhood poem published by them 2 years ago. It was one of my favorites. I love this poem and it resonates deeply!

@JDVance I’d love to hear an argument how a person can call Trump Hitler and then become his VP and mouthpiece. 🤷‍♀️

[Rachel Leah @drrmalla]

Got my Pembroke Magazine today. This is one of my favorite poems I’ve written.

@EM_RESUS Er doc for 19 years. 10 years ago, my 21 month old son was a near fatal drowning in full cardiac arrest. I’ve yet to see a patient so cyanotic as he was. I snapped into doc mode and initiated CPR for minutes. He survived without deficits.

@DrNeilStone Also, as a physician, I know that having “Dr” and “MD” all in the same title is a sure fire way of proving ignorance.

@PastorTrey05 https://t.co/l6QqC068r8’d be shocked at how comparatively little I get paid to slog it out in the ER.Getting screamed at, threatened, been hit, spit on.And I keep showing up and quite literally save lives. I don’t control billing & see all comers from rich to unhoused

[Rachel Leah @drrmalla]

@JDVance Now you’re lying. Apparently you didn’t read. I cannot wait till you are gone and history judges you without mercy.

[Rachel Leah @drrmalla]

@shepherdmoon53 Finally have one I wrote last week-today in @OneArtPoetry1

[Rachel Leah @drrmalla]

So grateful to be featured today. Sometimes living intentionally and with joy can be an act of resistance in this chaotic world.

[ONE ART @OneArtPoetry1]

@SecRubio @POTUS You look more dead behind the eyes every time I see you. Selling your soul is hard work.

[Rachel Leah @drrmalla]

@PastorTrey05 Not to mention this thing dancing around the oval at all times of the day…
