Emerging data on COVID-19 related morbidity and mortality has highlighted the underlying structural racism that leads to minority communities bearing a higher burden of disease. Amidst this, however, there has been false reassurance about one population in particular: #Children.

so - today I got a call from @ewarren while I was driving and I’m still shaking!! And she called to thank me because, when I was in Iowa last week I knocked on the door of a woman named Carly and I ended up saving her life. I got her permission to tell the story so here it is:

Having to work in the hospital over the holidays sucks.

It's harder to be a patient.

“It’s just a virus”
- lazy
- dismissive
- patient doesn’t feel validated

“Your body’s host cells have been invaded by a rapidly replicating biological agent”
- intriguing
- terrifying
- something your patient will want to post on Facebook

[resident @lilfyfellow]

med school is like in The Good Place when kristen bell thinks they accidentally let her in and then she finds out that everyone else thinks that too and then they all find out that they’re actually being tortured

normal saline implies the existence of abnormal saline

pro tip: ask your patients “is there anything I can do to make you more comfortable while you are here?” 🤘nothing feels better than getting a patient a midnight snack and a warm blanket
