Our sickest patients deserve better than tele-critical care. Thank you @kevinmd for giving this a platform! #teleCriticalCare#teleICU#ICU, @SCCM
Moderate IV Fluid Resuscitation Is Associated With Decreased Sepsis Mortality; out now in CCM. Thank you to everyone who worked on this project! https://t.co/xxZLWWmmTu
@NEJM@EyalPress Great podcast! You should get Wendy Dean and Simon Talbot on to discuss this topic in greater depth. Nobody has thought and written more on moral injury in healthcare than them.
@averagemoneymd That thread sounds exactly like the shifts I worked in the ED last week. I believe physicians need to push back collectively. Unionizing is one tool to do this.
Our broken, profit-driven healthcare system harms not only patients but also the people who deliver the care, more and more doctors are coming to feel. “Every day, you’re reminded how savage the system is,” Keith Corl, a critical care specialist, told me. https://t.co/tOv9rjCZnQ
The corporatization of medicine puts profits before patients and inflicts #moralinjury on so many of the physicians who struggle to give patients the quality care they were trained to provide. Thank you @EyalPress for giving this topic a platform!

Dr. Wendy Dean @WDeanMD has written a seminal book about the daily struggle clinicians face to provide the best care they know how in a system designed to extract profit from patients. I can't recommend it enough!

"The medical system (was) stretched thin well before COVID arrived and has been diminished with every surge since.
This compounds exhaustion with #moralinjury —the distress that comes from knowing what good care looks like and being unable to provide it."

After the amount of death and suffering from #Covid I’ve seen over the last 2 years, it makes me sick to think that we could have saved 900,000 Americans if we had come together as a society, taken bold action early, and believed in each other. https://t.co/dHG7OMPH6k
On #NationalDoctorsDay, read this still-timely article by @WDeanMD:
"[Clinicians] are frustrated that options for patient care are increasingly shaped by boardroom decisions without sufficient clinician input..."

“We, as doctors, bear witness to humanity’s ugliest and most glorious moments, so it is only natural that we are deeply moved and sometimes disturbed by it all. Acknowledging this vulnerability isn’t weakness. It makes me a better doctor.”

We're posting this again, two years after @WDeanMD testified, days before the first patient with COVID was identified in NYC. It was relevant then and sadly, even more relevant now.
It's time for change. Let's end the distress.

Thank you @DinaHfarbMD for sounding the alarm. Please get your #Covidvaccine and booster! The entire Rhode Island medical system is failing, nurses and doctors need your help!

The amount of senseless death is crushing our health care system along with the nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, doctors and other health care workers in it. #moralinjury

@nytopinion@DrRobDavidson Fantastic piece. I feel for you and your coworkers. Things haven't gotten that bad again in CA yet. Try to remember what @MelHerbert always says "What you do matters."
