seeing a boyfriend's handwriting for the first time can be one of the most jarring experiences of a girl's life

Racism in Europe is so terrifying. Was chatting to a Nigerian guy living in Germany on the train the other day. He said one day during a storm a tree on his street fell down and blocked the pavement. He decided to pick it up and move it out of the way so people could pass...

People who forget to eat are amazing to me. I miss one meal and I’m burning bridges with immediate family members. I miss two that’s organ failure, total body and mind shutdown by the end of one calendar day

She’s a ten 🙌 but she only opens her eyes to voice, is confused and has abnormal flexion.

she's a 10 but she's on a log scale so she's only a 1

"I'm okay letting people die because they have pre-existing conditions or are old."

That's the argument antivaxxers are making & made even before COVID.

Don't kid yourself: they aren't fighting for your rights. They are fighting for themselves above all others & at any cost.

I am a high-achieving WOC in academic medicine. I am almost 9 months postpartum. I had my annual physical with my PCP today. I confided that I felt everything was a bit dull/sad lately. I asked for advice on who I could talk to to feel more like myself. Here's what happened (🧵):

94yo patient said he didn’t deserve to be treated this way. He took my hand, & in tears, said he worked hard all his life & now needed to be looked after. Hospitals have no beds for his comfort. Over capacity. He lost his dignity. These are “mild” effects of Omicron. It’s awful.

[WesElyMD @WesElyMD]

1/🧵 You’re dying in a hospital bed, and we grant you “THREE WISHES.” What would they be?

My dying patient is stunningly beautiful INSIDE & out. I asked what 3 wishes she had?

This video of the Birthday 🎂 party we had for her son is her BONUS Wish!

Read on for her share ❤️

Curious - has anyone seen Omicron specific data on ‘breakthrough’ infections and incidence of long Covid, MIS-C/A etc? Is there data on this that I’m simply not aware of?

[Dr Helgi @doctorhelgi]

Remembering today one of my patients. I was discussing the risk of an operation and she simply showed me her tattoo and replied “don’t worry, I understand risk” #LestWeForget

Of note: HPV vaccine has now been approved by the FDA to prevent Throat Cancer for all genders. Throat cancer is even more common than cervical cancer and affects mostly men.

All genders should get the shot!

From the ER perspective, COVID disease vs vaccination risk isn’t in the same universe

~42 million cases of COVID in the US & we’ve grown numb from sheer numbers of ill patients in the ER

~387 million COVID vaccines administered & it’s rare to have a patient in for side effects

[David Fisman @DFisman]

Again: congratulations, Canada.

[Sabina Vohra-Miller @SabiVM]

We don’t ask murder victims to testify (obviously), so why is there an expectation for sexual assault victims to testify when there is ample and sufficient evidence on the crime?? Law is stacked against victims of sexual assault, and upheld by those in power.

Since May 1, 98.7 per cent of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in Toronto had not been fully vaccinated, Toronto Public Health says. https://t.co/Vohnm1DQVL
