@AnnaliseDr Oh my gosh. This is horrifying on so many levels. Cutting corners on things that have direct impact on patient safety makes me viscerally ill.
The mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) are kind of brilliant at a science level. Iβve had a few people in my real non-Twitter life ask me to explain how it works so Iβm going to try my best here in this thread while Iβm waiting for a patient to show.
@dr_uche_bee Thatβs always been part of my training and teaching, but my fellow residents and I have noticed that shift towards first names more recently as well.
@dr_uche_bee Not at all. Addressing all attendings by Dr. regardless of gender demonstrates respect, but also encourages patients to show respect too. Particularly for new-in-practice physicians and women, where they may get completely overlooked.
@RUBraveEnough Colleagues building each other up is so key! I appreciate when my attendings call me Dr. ___ in front of patients. I do think it makes a difference.
