Emergency Physician and Mama (not necessarily in that order). Just doing my best.

@HedayatiMD @CookCountyEM So many generations of learners impacted by your wisdom and guidance!

@DrDmart120 @DocTulsa @OUEmergencyMed @OUSCM What a gem of an educator and what an impact he has left on the program.

[Emily Fisher, MD @EmlyCorinne]

@BoBurnsDO @DocTulsa @OUEmergencyMed @OUTulsa @radicito @emresidents @CORD_EM @jgentgesdo @ljanneck @SAEM_RAMS @ACOEPRSO Man that’s a stellar shift right there.

@Gabby_Brauner27 I (years ago) told a woman in a barre class who mentioned not eating bananas because they were too caloric that, if bananas were going to make me fat, then maybe I was just destined to be fat and I was ok with that. 🤷‍♀️

@danieljweiner @cvs @CF_Foundation This was already fixed by the time the letters arrived in the mail for us. As long as the appeal was sent back, their system has been updated. We received ours last week for our 5 yr old.

@saltylungs The granules are surprisingly big! Like 2-3x bigger than Pertzye granules. I think if you leave them sitting for longer they start to dissolve, but he didn’t seem to mind. A work in progress!

It is easy to focus on all that is broken with our healthcare system. (There is so much!)

But today, I am taking some time to feel thankful. For the patients, physicians, and scientists who have made this day possible for my child. Day 1 of many, many more.

@pedsmd2b I’m pretty sure that’s how I honored the rotation. 😂

[Emily Fisher, MD @EmlyCorinne]

@pedsmd2b As a med student, the head of the plastic surgery dept in a surgery I was observing said that kids with a certain condition ‘start off as FLKs and end up as FLKs’ (for a surgery he was in the process of performing). I informed him I’d had the surgery as an infant. 😬

@ken_beane_jr We would be thrilled with some weight gain! We call him small but mighty. 💪

Getting Trikafta delivered tomorrow for my 5 yr old!

Any advice from #CFtwitter? @saltylungs? I’ll be napping for my night shift downstairs so I’m ready to grab it when the package comes. So excited for this next step.💃🎉

[Emily Fisher, MD @EmlyCorinne]

@saltylungs I’m glad other people are horrified by this too, I felt like I was taking crazy pills when every other person in clinic walked in totally unmasked with no comment or acknowledgment.

[Emily Fisher, MD @EmlyCorinne]

@saltylungs Our CF clinic went mask free for staff. 🙄 I had to ask the RT to put one on when she made my 5yr old take his off for PFTs. Nobody except the doc were wearing them otherwise.

[Emily Fisher, MD @EmlyCorinne]

@saltylungs I was in labor with my son answering work related phone calls. 😬 (In my defense, he was born match week, and I was a clerkship director at the time and was trying to help a student who didn’t match.) My husband was ready to hide my phone.

[Cystic Fibrosis Foundation @CF_Foundation]

The @US_FDA approved Trikafta for children with CF ages 2-5 years with at least one copy of the F508del mutation or one copy of certain mutations. With this approval, more than 900 children will have access to a CFTR modulator for the first time. https://t.co/n7dD8XA8KC

@AdrienneTaren @Ascensionorg 🤦‍♀️ so frustrating. Much smaller scale but I just buy Leo’s nebulizer compressors out of pocket for the same reason. First one I used insurance for and ended up paying 3x more for a crappier machine. It’s such a scam.

[Emily Fisher, MD @EmlyCorinne]

@saltylungs Honestly I’d be thrilled if a young vented patient did what you did - shows you had fight left in you and would make me feel like you’re going to pull through. What you’re describing sounds nothing like staff abuse (which we see plenty of in the ER).

[Emily Fisher, MD @EmlyCorinne]

@quality_nguyen @clintnwilson You should see the quantities for digestive enzymes for kiddos with CF. They usually just send them in the manufacturer’s bottles because it’s easier than counting. Many hundreds of pills. When we were getting 3 mo supplies the quantities were massive.

[Emily Fisher, MD @EmlyCorinne]

@WendyHassonMD This ER doc had all the grapes cut in half at my 5yr olds birthday party. 😂

[Emily Fisher, MD @EmlyCorinne]

@saltylungs Our current CF clinic has a staff member and that is her entire job. It is amazing. She coordinates all of the medications, copay assistance, etc, and his meds show up every month. I just let her know if we’re leaving town. Literally every CF clinic needs one of her.
