Title change OFFICIAL! Serving as EMRA’s President has been *the* most difficult AND rewarding thing I’ve ever done.
Humbled to have learned from so many, from med students to Presidents of other orgs. THANK YOU to my program, my #EMRAfamily, & *esp* my husband for the support!
During a 2007 trip to NYC, while taking long walks from one indie bookstore to the next, lugging increasingly heavy bags of pressed vegetable matter, I stumbled on Simon Lovell's HOW TO CHEAT AT EVERYTHING at the St Mark's Bookshop.

Just spoke to a friend in Ohio.
Works at a huge hospital system.
Today given one N95 to reuse for the ‘foreseeable future’.
One surgical mask a shift.
Can only wear masks for confirmed #coronavirus patients.
This is how healthcare workers get infected.
This is how we lose.
Patients are arriving without family or friends
Now we make sure they call their family before we put them on a ventilator
Because they may never get to speak to them again
In 10 years as an emergency medicine physician that wasn’t something I ever had to do
Until this week
Dear emergency medicine colleagues,
When this mess is over, I vow to never again ask you what the urine lytes looked like. I will never expect you to give one single flying fuck about the urine lytes.
Thank you for doing what you do. Please stay safe.
All the ER people I know have started drinking the best whiskey on their shelves. That should tell you everything you need to know. #COVIDー19#whiskey 🥃
hey guys I’m having a tough time deciding who to believe. On one hand, the most prestigious doctors in the world are saying COVID-19 is something to take very seriously. But at the same time, this guy I went to high school with who “sees through the media” says otherwise. help 🥺
