I spent 40 min talking with a mom about COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccines for her son in clinic because I needed to and could afford the time. She appreciated it. But make no mistake, the #RVU system doesn't lend itself to this. #medtwitter#Pediatrics

Wearing a mask shows you respect the people around you.
Wearing a mask shows your gratitude for frontline workers.
Wearing a mask shows you care about defeating this virus.
Let’s all do our part—wear a mask.
Wearing a mask is not something you do for yourself. It's something you do for others. I am optimistic that the number of people wearing face coverings will increase as they realize what is at stake. ➡ Lives are at stake. #StaySafeOhio#InThisTogetherOhio
About to go on @cnn to discuss today's HELP cmte hearings. What we heard and what we didn't

Policies must reflect our natural instinct to care for and about each other, should free us to flourish. When anti-care, policies punish and cruelly hurt people in trouble — the sick, desperate, different, fearful, weak. Anti-care policies are immoral, unnatural. I am pro-care.
Dear ICU colleagues, don't underestimate the power of:
*removing unnecessary monitoring
*letting patient wear their own clothes
*asking if they want to go out for fresh air for a few minutes
*jelly & ice cream
*really good mouth care and hairbrush

As a clinician Ive noticed that, sometimes, the organized + prepared patient annoys me + trainees. I think it's cause being prepared is powerful way of setting agenda + inadvertently derail the industrial agendas that we force on people w chronic conditions. #WhyWeRevolt
Do patients want to land on the 80% of clinicians work they find meaningless? We need to save the soul of healers and advance meaningful, careful and kind care based on love and relationships by moving away from industrial healthcare. This is #WhyWeRevolt@patientrev
