I’m an independent #Physician still caring for patients, many w/ dementia who‘ve decompensated under quarantine, need to be seen at home. Ive not rec’d my SBO, so much for payroll protection. had to cut my staff’s hours. @AmerMedicalAssn @CMAdocs #medtwitter @washingtonpost

On the upside, I’m reassured there’s still a Surgeon General post & it isn’t occupied by a Trump relative. Yet. #medtwitter

@GavinNewsom I might be willing to step up but here’s what I ask: at least know my scope—it’ll help the pts. Psychiatrists are PHYSICIANS. There’s no Board of behavioral health. We’re certified by American board of psychiatry & neurology. @pppforpatients @AmerMedicalAssn

[Jeremy Faust MD MS (ER physician) @jeremyfaust]

Apology NOT accepted.

You goons should have supported us BEFORE you got called out for being a bunch of bloodsucking ambulance chasers while WE are ones on the frontlines of the Covid-19 pandemic and without adequate PPE.

So here’s my board-certified medical opinion: 🖕🖕🖕

[Eugene Yang @DrEugeneYang]

@hevalkellimd I agree. A crisis like this brings out the best in humanity but unfortunately the worst too. I try to focus on the positives but this goes too far and needs to be called out for what it is.

[Eugene Yang @DrEugeneYang]

To my healthcare colleagues. It is reprehensible that we have the bottom of the barrel in the legal community trying to take advantage of us when we are sacrificing our lives to protect our patients. It truly disgusts me to see what badness comes out during a crisis like this.

[New England Nurse @coffeeNCalibers]

Okay that’s it. My manager sent us an email about how we are all now supposed to stay off of social media because we’re “scaring people”. Guess what? People should be fuckin scared. It’s a scary virus . And I will not be quiet about what’s going on.

[PeterCoffmanMD @PeterCoffmanMD]

This type of administrative stupidity is reckless and dangerous. Physicians and healthcare workers should have the last say in protecting their health and the health of patients, NOT administrators! Please retweet! @mass_marion @toriesepahmd #scrubsnotsuits

I'm glad I can readily find support + info on the AAFP's local Ohio branch's website re #scope expansion bills,+ my letter as an ex. Bravo + thx @AAFP. Now if only the APA could do something 1/10th as supportive. Psychologists Prescribing Bill Introduced https://t.co/iMJXX8e0YP

@jennybencardino @RUBraveEnough @DrHowardLiu @WomenSurgeons @AAMCtoday @arghavan_salles @TomVargheseJr I started a physician only, closed FB burnout group, now with 1800 members. Please join us as this is an evidence-based intervention (true peer to peer group) and not “coaching”, totally free. #physiciantophysician #physicianburnout

[Torie Sepah, MD @toriesepahmd]

I so so appreciate the feedback. Please consider joining our physician to physician “virtual doctor’s lounge” on FB. Meticulously vetted for physicians &/or those in training. We need our own private “safe space”. #physiciantophysician

[Torie Sepah, MD @toriesepahmd]

We don’t need mindfulness, yoga or more administrators trying to figure what’s “wrong” with us—we’ve consistently reported EMR as one of the top 3 contributors to #physicianburnout. Virtual scribes are game-changers for physicians https://t.co/KsxFoutE0V via @kevinmd #medtwitter
