I am bound by the nursing code of ethics to take care of every patient assigned to me regardless of political affiliation, personal preference, or any descriptors assigned the patient. On Twitter I am NOT bound to participate in political finger pointing. Don't @ me
@caughtUHequina @marklewismd @rebelreyanne Unfollowed! Thank you for letting me know. If she thinks that’s a fun thing to do, it’s time for her to hang up her stethoscope
@EM_RESUS @babbageboole Regularly tell my this at DC. I’ve told many of the “it didn’t seem that bad, it’s probably nothing” patients that the ER is like having car insurance better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
This has been a very difficult day. We discovered suicide letters written by my grandma in 1988. She died in 2016.
Why she kept them for so long we don’t know, but to know that I came so close to having never met the woman who became my best friend has rocked my world. (1/4)
Here is my raw interview with the doctor. It’s an incredibly gripping and emotional interview. I mainly listened. This man, Dr. Hasan Kakli, is going above and beyond in ways that will make you want to hug the next front line worker you see. Must watch https://t.co/tCuokrtzGP
Happy day for me. Several people I care a lot about got the COVID vaccine today, overcoming some hesitancy. What do I say to my patients who are unsure about the vaccine? This:
Dear Florida,
Get your shit together. Wear a mask. Get the vaccine.
Oh and hey Ron:
I’m gonna need you to take sit down, shut up, and pull your head outta your ass.

Hi, lead author of the study here. That's not really what we had in mind. Masks do block aerosols (proven) & if you read our paper carefully, you'd notice our results actually support the calls for universal masking, as well as N95, FFP3 or equivalent. Take care, @DrEliDavid!
It’s mad pharmacists aren’t included under health care workers when they are always at the bedside in most emergency situations. So when we talk about health care heroes let’s make sure our pharmacists are included. I definitely can’t do my job without them.
